Houston's Best Fine Art Newborn Photographer
As a prior NICU nurse, newborns will always hold a special place in my heart. Since 2012, I have worked with newborns in some capacity, some born as young as 22 weeks. I remember caring for 11 year olds as a school nurse and being able to see wisps of baby in them, whether it be from their sweet tears from a fall or simply needing a hug. I always looked for the "baby" because that's what motivated me--knowing that once they were sweet babies not too long ago.
The newborn stage is such a fleeting time that I dearly love, and that's why I've returned to newborns once again. The days are long, but the years are short, right?! Through newborn photography I help to immortalize the sweet newborn stage through a timeless fine art style. Maternity photography is the perfect opportunity to feel and look beautiful. Maternity sessions should be done between 30 to 35 weeks, but there is flexibility here. First time moms should wait after 31-32 weeks. Please make sure to book in your first and second trimester to guarantee a spot.
Safety and COVID-19 Practices
I currently wear a brand new mask during all newborn and maternity sessions. I sanitize all equipment before and after sessions. Every prop that is touched or worn during a photoshoot is sanitized. All textiles are washed or handwashed in between sessions, including the very couch cover you sit on. Props, backdrops, knits, hairbands, and wardrobe are all from high end luxury brands void of harsh chemicals and detergents. All floors are sanitized and cleaned before and after sessions.
In addition to being the mother of four young children, I also am a licensed Registered Nurse with both NICU and pediatric experience. I have also taken several newborn workshops geared towards baby safety.
I currently am triple vaccinated against covid and have received all other vaccines currently available including the flu, Tdap, MMR, etc.
Studio policy requires that all shoes remain in the foyer. Please feel free to wear socks or shoe covers (provided.) Please no smoking.

What Do Clients Say About Me?
CHRISTY L.
"She took her time in the session to capture the most beautiful moments! She tells you exactly what to expect and is so gentle and accommodating to the newborns! I was a little apprehensive to let someone take my little one but her nurturing nature calmed me. We got the best pictures and would highly recommend her. She has little ones herself and knows how to capture the magical moments. "

" Amanda is so brilliant at what she does. My baby has gorgeous photos and my maternity photos are amazing. I had to purchase them all, and I typically am fearful of getting photos of myself. I am so grateful that I did, and so happy I worked with her. She was so safe and gentle with my baby too. She used to be a NICU nurse, and it really shows."
