Hi, I’m Amanda!

I'm a Chicago area based photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, children, and family portraits. I’m located in Elmhurst, but I travel to the city and surrounding suburbs for all my clients!

I'm a teacher/wedding planner turned stay-at-home Mom. If I'm not doing #momlife with my three boys, I'm trying to fit in dates with my husband, family dance parties, or wine nights with my best gals. I enjoy cooking, but hate meal planning and really love a night out for sushi. My guilty pleasure is Bravo reality tv and I love watching new movies if we ever actually pick one!

For as long as I can remember, I've been taking photos. It was always such fun to pick up my developed film and see what pictures I had taken! I may have even followed my friends around with a video camera in high school (those videos are scary funny to watch now!). In college, I had a site of my pictures entitled "Amanda with a Camera.”

I first got serious about photography when my oldest son was born and I was anxious to capture every moment in the best quality possible! My husband gifted me my first DSLR shorty after his birth and with the help of some photography classes, I realized I could do more than just capture my own family. 

There are few things I enjoy more than looking back at old photos and remembering the story that they tell. Now as a parent, those stories are more important to me than ever and I can't wait to capture yours!
