i’m amanda
I believe in collecting memories over things. In enjoying life’s simple pleasures, like evenings on the back porch with the one you love. I believe in documenting your life’s stories no matter how grand or small. I believe in creating images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on the walls of your house – making it your home.
I’ve spent years of my life saying “yes” everyone except myself but it’s the moments I pick up my camera that I feel most alive. I chose to say “yes” to this passion of mine and enjoy getting to spend my time capturing love authentically. I want you to know that I will always believe in love – especially second chances.
Even with it’s ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can’t wait to create images to show that – let the adventure begin!
“
What are the Chances?”
I still remember the exact day my husband crossed my path.. it was just a “normal” day… until it wasn’t. Little did I know that stranger I just said hello to would someday become my husband…. and as I told him way back when… “life is a funny thing”… it sure does have a way of surprising you when you LEAST expect it too.
I absolutely love learning about my couples’ love stories and hearing how fate brought them together in the moments they least expect. Life has a way of guiding us all on unique journeys and I count it an absolute joy and honor to capture the moments that are so dear to your journey.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Amanda has been a part of every major milestone in my adult life. She and my husband set up a surprise engagement session, our wedding, anniversaries, family pictures once our family grew. She’s always up to travel to a new place for a new back drop for us (I like to switch it up.) We have always had a top notch experience from start to finish. Professional, fun, great photography what more could you ask for?? Book with Amanda you won’t be disappointed!

Sipping coffee and playing cards.
Nothing starts the morning off better than a warm cup of coffee. Throw in a friendly game of Phase 10 and you have the ingredients for a perfect start to the day.
Sunsets on the beach
Beaches are naturally beautiful, but nothing beats the glow and amazing colors that come at sunset. Turn on the perfect Pandora station and find a spot to sit for the perfect Sunday evening.
Catching waves
While I may not like being in water deeper than I can see the bottom, I love opportunities to enjoy some boogie boarding when the waves form just right.
Sipping a drink on the back porch.
Nothing cools you down faster in a Southern summer than a tall glass of something cold! Throw in that special someone cooking dinner on the grill and you have the ingredients for a perfect night.
Birds of a feather flock together.
They may be independent but bring out the special treats and they become snuggly. I love play time with my favorite flock.
IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE AMANDA DAWN IN THREE WORDS, THEY WOULD BE ADVENTUROUS, BRAVE AND DEDICATED.
A SERIOUS CASE OF WANDERLUST
01
OAHU, HAWAII
The island everyone loves for its charm and natural beauty – spending ten days exploring wasn’t nearly enough!
02
MANTA, ECUADOR
A smaller, oceanside town – this was a great launching point for road tripping across the country.
03
Killarney, Ireland
Offering carriage rides through the park with castle views and driving distance to Dingle’s beautiful coastline – this was one of my favorite towns!
04
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
A popular cruise stop, this was a cute town to walk around and enjoy – bonus points for having a Hard Rock Cafe.

it all began with a Second Chance.
The last several years of my life have been a whirlwind and if you told me ten years ago that I would be where I am today.. I wouldn’t believe you! I believe in second chances more than ever before and life takes you on a journey that allows you to develop into the best version of yourself. I have an even deeper appreciation for the gift of marriage, I cherish getting to play a role in celebrating your love story and after the day ends I will continue to cheer you on along your journey. Photos become the tangible moments we can hold on to forever and have a way of reminding us of the strength, courage & hope that reside in all of us the way few other things can. Every opportunity I have to capture these memories for you is one I cherish.
