Hey there, let me tell you about my amazing journey as a NICU nurse. It was such a profound experience for me, and I saw firsthand how newborns are resilient and how parents face both joy and uncertainty. It taught me how precious early life is and how important it is for families to bond. I transitioned to maternity photography because I wanted to capture the beauty of pregnancy. As a former nurse, I know how to approach each maternity session with sensitivity and attention to detail. I want to make sure the experience is comfortable and empowering for all of the amazing moms out there. And let's not forget about those dads too! I love capturing the special connection between partners and the anticipation of their new arrival.
I take such pride in my work, and I feel honored to document the journey of each and every expectant family. I think it's incredibly important to preserve those moments of joy and celebration, and that's what I aim to do with every photo session. If you're interested in booking a session with me, I recommend doing it between 28-35 weeks. For petite first-time moms, the best time is between 32-35 weeks. You won't have to worry about wardrobe because you can choose from my exclusive studio wardrobe and coordinating backdrops. And I'll provide you with a maternity session guide with all sorts of recommendations on colors, hair, and makeup so you can feel and look beautiful.
Just so you know, I wear a brand new K-95 mask for everyone's protection, and I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Tdap, and the flu. And don't worry about cleanliness because everything used for the session, including backdrops and wardrobes, is sanitized and washed. To book a session, all you need is to pay a $100 non-refundable retainer and sign a contract with model clauses. But if you're a foster parent, you won't need the model clauses. So, let's get to work and capture some beautiful memories together!

"I booked with Amanda for both Maternity and Newborn photos and both were an amazing experience. Amanda is such a patient, understanding, and artistic person. She made sure our photos were exactly what we were looking for! For our newborn shoot, our girl was not super cooperative in the beginning and Amanda never made us feel rushed or like we were slowing things down to feed/change/try to console baby. As a first-time mom that was a huge point of anxiety for me, and she made sure we felt completely in control and gave us all of the time we needed to address baby. Amanda is amazing at what she does and such a sweet soul, I cannot wait to work with her again! "
" 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."
