Her work has lined the pages of leading wedding publications including Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Town & Country, Real Simple Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings, Inside Weddings, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Modern Bride, and more. She's been featured in industry publications including Photo District News (PDN), Rangefinder, and Professional Photographer.

Amanda documents client commissions worldwide every year, creates art for her devoted collectors, and teaches fellow creative entrepreneurs through her online education platform and professional consulting. 

She holds a BFA in photography and art history from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and studied at the Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence, Italy. Amanda calls Oak Park, Illinois home where she lives with her family, Tod, Emmet and Zoe, and two exceptionally lazy Border Terriers, Izzy & Mavis.

Nº WEDDINGS?

Personally over 500! That's a lot of notches on my camera strap. We've documented 2000+ weddings at the studio.

I'm allergic to:

Fake anything, excuses, fluff (ski snow excluded), inefficiency, and soy (seriously).

YOU CAN FIND ME:

When I'm not working with my amazing clients, I Mom pretty hard. Check the ski lifts, beach chair or National Parks if I'm OOo playing with my fam: Tod, Emmet & Zoe.

cool stufF:

Co-piloted a plane in the Amazon, climbed Cotopaxi, turned an art degree into a thriving biz, one of my checklists was published in a book, and sang ON STAGE with KT Tunstall, Sheryl Crow & Brandi Carlile (Wait, WHAT?)

photo style:

Timeless. Authentic. Natural. SOMETIMES ABStract. ALWAYS REAL

P.S. If you like table shots, I'm not your gal. I capture what's *really* happening at the table.
