Below you can find information on how a session progresses and what to expect as well as frequently asked questions and specific packages.
Want flexibility to explore different location options whether that be at home, in studio, or out at scenic locations
Value capturing the unbridled moments even if that means we have to be patient and creative or get a little silly
Looking for photos that capture connection and emotion rather than the "say cheese" smile or overly engineered posing
Once I deliver your final gallery, it's time to make it last! What good are pictures if you don't ever see them outside of a screen? You can order your prints and products from trusted printers that maintain the rich colors of my editing style.
After booking you will receive a link to your client portal which will have everything you need from questaionnaires to contracts. From here we can hash out the details that best fir your family from styling to location.

Amanda did a fantastic job of capturing our family through her photos. I have 3 kids under 10 years old so it’s not an easy job! The light and location was beautiful. Quick and easy family photos, too many good ones to choose from!
Amanda is amazing to work with and incredibly talented. Her photos captured my family perfectly and the quality is absolutely stunning. My son told me that the session was the most fun he has ever had taking family pictures. I am in awe of her talent and dedication to her craft. I highly recommend this photographer!
Amanda did a wonderful job capturing my toddler’s personality! She’s very warm and flexible, which is perfect for working with children. Her new studio space is beautiful! I’m in love with our pictures.
My home-adjacent studio is located in the Lake Hills neighborhood of Bellevue. Because the studio is located at the same address as my home, I provide the address at time of booking. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions before booking and check out my blog for a studio tour!
The weather in the PNW can be unpredictable. I come prepared for most situations. I have beautiful translucent umbrellas that I'm happy to bring out for any sessions that have rain and I come prepared to photograph in most weather conditions. If the forecast looks rainy beyond the usual drizzle, then I will contact you with options such as switching to a studio session, changing to a covered location, or pushing the date. I do not allow cancellations for a drizzle but if you contact me in advance I will try to be as flexible as possible to work something out.
The short answer is yes but only when my schedule allows. I am happy to make bookings for Fresh-48 sessions but, because birth times can be unpredictable, I do need to make sure that my schedule had ample freedom to accomodate these sessions and will only book one or two per month. That being said, I LOVE these sessions and would be happy to talk with you about taking on that responsibility. I do not have these sessions listed on my booking page because of the scheduling considerations so please reach out if interested.
Honestly, this is your preference. In outdoor session offers beautiful scenery at a location chosen specifically for your unique family. We still get the sweet personality shots but the location will also become a star in your photos. The studio is convinient and comfortable which can be a welcome quality for many young families. The minimalistic backdrops keep the focus on the unique personality of the subject. If you want to chat through what might be the right fit for you, shoot me a message.
The bread and butter of my business has and always will be young families and, for that reason they will take priority on my schedule. If you have something else that you would like me to photograph I would be happy to chat through it with you. Headshots, pets, and branding, are also services that I have photographed in the past and if I have space for it I'm always happy to work something out.
I generally recommend booking a Newborn session as soon as you know you want one. I generally like to get people on my Calendar 2 months before their expected delivery date, however, I know life gets busy and motherhood gets chaotic even before baby arrives. If you're close to your birth time or even let it get away from you until after the birth, still reach out! I always try to work my schedule around newborn clients because I know that moment is one that slips away quickly.
