Aloha, I’m Amanda!

I’m a storytelling family and event photographer serving the island of Oahu and I believe in moments over poses. In my eleven years as a photographer, I have learned that the photos of real connection are those my clients cherish most. So, during my sessions we play, eat shave ice, laugh, splash water, and sometimes get dirty! After our session, your family should feel like they had a fun adventure together, not a photography session.

I’m a mom of 4 with a 9-year-old, 4-year-old twins, and an infant daughter. I’m an Army wife of 14 years and a former elementary school teacher. I can take any chaos your family may throw my way - I’ll relish it! If your toddler throws a fit, I’ll pull out my secret stash of bubbles (a staple of my camera bag); if your husband’s homecoming ceremony is postponed (again!), I’ll be sure wine is your session thank-you gift; and if you have a pimple right in the middle of your chin (they always wait for session day!)— I will Photoshop it out! On the day of your session, it’s your job to relax and let me take care of the details!
