I am a wedding and family photographer of 14 years with home base in Clinton, Iowa (Quad City area). I love creating soulful, timeless images with rich colors and authentic expressions.
I have a passion for weightlifting, but am equally (maybe more) obsessed with tacos. The struggle is real! I spent many years on an up and down weight-loss journey only to discover that I should have been on a journey to self-love all along. Positive changes can’t happen until you learn to let go of the negative, and that starts with being kind to yourself!
No one has taught me more about love than my sweet baby girl and two adorably spirited sons who call me Mom. I also have my husband to thank for his endless love and support. You may have seen around town dressed as a Ghostbuster (yes, we’re big dorks in our free time)!
I’m a super friendly, yet kinda quirky introvert who truly loves humans. If I wasn’t completely in love with photography I probably would have been a counselor because I love learning about people and relationships. Photography allows me to not only learn about people, but to capture them in a way that shows the world just how beautiful authentic human connections really are.

“Amanda and her staff were absolutely outstanding for our wedding! Timely, professional, well organized, thoughtful and hard working. The day went so smoothly and we were able to get photos that were important to us to last a lifetime. I highly recommend and am so happy we chose her!”
“Amanda has taken photos for my family and me multiple times. She is very professional, flexible, and responsive when it comes to setting up appointments. What stood out to me most was my engagement photo session when she took the time to get to know my fiancé and me ahead of time in order to prepare for our session and make it exactly what we wanted. Our photos were edited so quickly, and we were able to see them within a few days of our shoot. I was very happy with the quality of her work. I would recommend Amanda for any photo shoot! She is great at what she does!”
“After a recommendation from a friend, we decided to go with Amanda for our engagement and wedding photos. Amanda has been amazing to work with! She’s gone above and beyond to answer any questions, clearly communicate what to expect, and done everything she can to make us feel comfortable during our wedding planning process. Amanda was flexible when we needed to reschedule and had our photos ready way before we expected! Not to mention, our pictures turned out amazing!”
“Amanda is amazing! We were from out of town so we communicated via Facetime and email. She was very communicative before the wedding to ensure she knew what we wanted the day of. The day of the wedding she was exactly what we needed. We had a large bridal party, including multiple little kids and she kept us on track with the schedule without making us feel rushed. She made everything easy and it gave me one less thing to worry about on such a busy day. The pictures from our day before session and our wedding day are breathtaking, magical, perfect...they are everything. I am OBSESSED with all of our pictures and receive so many compliments on them from others. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been captured the same without Amanda!”
