I believe in welcoming creativity and self-connection. I believe in safe spaces and creating memories and moments that last a lifetime. I believe in remembering your own fire, love, and belief that you are completely enough. I believe in capturing images to hang above your couch, to remind you daily how incredible you are.

AMANDA
BEHIND THE LENSE
-amanda
I spent my young adulthood wandering the woods and waterfalls, meeting travelers and drinking good coffee.
Surrounded by art and artists, breath taking scenery and interesting people at every turn, it was hard not to see a bit of beauty in everything.
I now live in the small but thriving town of Hendersonville with my two kiddos and amazing husband. We still love wandering the woods, picnics in the park, and making weird faces at the camera.
I was raised in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, Asheville.
I am so excited to meet and connect with you!
Your vision is worth recording and memorializing, every day, any day. All makeup and decked out, or not a whisp and in your favorite yoga pants.
I began photographing as a child, capturing birds, flowers and sunsets. In college, I discovered the beauty of people. Studying photojournalism and working in newspapers and studios, I found how irresistible the human soul is.
Today, in a world full of noise, filters, and endless to-do lists, connection and creativity are more essential than ever. It's easy to get lost in the race to perfection.
My only hope is that, here, you find a safe space and open arms to remember your creative spark and reconnect with your own work of art - you.
IT's NICE TO MEET YOU

She is kind, extremely creative, friendly, and passionate about what she does. You can tell that her love for photography goes beyond the lens. She truly taps in and connects with her clients. Not only did I leave with stunning photos, but I made a new friend.
