hi friends,
I'm Amanda!

I'm lucky enough to have been born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and currently live in Spokane, WA with my husband Danny and our kitty, Fitzgerald. You'll probably hear me talk about them a lot.

Since 2015 I have worked with more than 300 clients in 7 countries and all across the US crafting films you can feel and delivering photojournalistic keepsake galleries by focusing on cinematic, emotion-focused moments that take you right back to the heart of the things. In 2018 our services expanded to include storytelling for small brands with big hearts. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with businesses, non-profits and creative entrepreneurs to share their stories and build relationships with audiences who can champion their mission as passionately as they do.

I’ve worked to hone my craft by focusing on a few core intentions. If you're looking for a joyful, professional, emotion-focused artist to join your storytelling team, I would love to connect! Drop a lil' note + let's get this party started.

Cheers,
Amanda

to go on living I have to tell stories, that stories are the one sure way I know
to touch the heart and change the world.”

How I work

+
relational

What’s important to you is important to me. I view our time together as a creative partnership with you in the driver’s seat. I love spending time learning not only about the mission of an organization or business, but also the people behind it, before producing something. And while you know I love capturing pretty homes and curated details, my favorite family imagery will always, always, always be the honest and beautifully real, potentially messy ones filled with you + the people you love.

+
honest

When all is said + done I want you to look back on the imagery we’ve created for your passion project or business + feel even more excited about the work that you’re doing. I want your keepsake family imagery to feel like it was delivered by an old friend. Someone who knows your story, + values both the big + little moments that made up your family dynamic. I don’t think that artful + posed need to be mutually exclusive. I aim to deliver artistic, professional + meaningful imagery with true-to-the-moment reflections rather than “scripted” scenes + poses.

+
simple

There is nothing worse than having a clunky, distracting camera set-up blocking your view at an event, or needing to do time extensive set-up + tear-down during a project over + over. I have chosen to work with a relatively limited set of low-profile gear compared to others in my industry, This allows me the freedom to be a more discreet guest during events + to move quickly to catch important moments as they come. I’ve invested in a small number of state-of-the-art pieces of equipment that I love, so that I can continue to offer affordable, efficient + creative work to you! Like my momma always said, less is more.

 

cheers!
