Im not really sure on where to start with this review. Usually having photos for any occasion is stressful, but my experience with Amanda was nothing but amazing & far from stressful. Her communication was outstanding right from the booking process to the shoot. When i expressed my uncomfortable fears of being in-front of the camera, she listened and made me feel heard. The client wardrobe was so stunning with a range of sizes. The photo shoot itself was so relaxing it was like she wasn't even there. I found Amanda’s interaction with my little girl really magical she made her feel so extremely important & was really supportive & calm when the overtired toddler set it.

I've been on a journey to love my body and to be kinder to myself. When I got our photos back, I expected to find flaws with what I saw... instead I cried because what I saw was beautiful. Through the entire experience Amanda made me feel valued, seen and beautiful.
Our session was our kind of vibe, lowkey, relaxed and natural. She documented us being a family and with minimal interruption to pose a certain way. It was exactly how we wanted our photos to be. I really can't sing her praises...
