Less posing. More fun!
Your family doesn’t need to be perfectly posed to make beautiful photographs. I’m Amanda, an Oahu family photographer specializing in joyful, connection-filled images of the people you love most. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and a little bit silly—because genuine smiles, belly laughs, and the perfectly imperfect in-between moments are the ones you’ll want to remember.
With 16 years of experience (and four kids of my own) I’m completely comfortable with a little chaos. We’ll play, explore, and maybe break out some bubble wands. You just love on your people. I’ll take care of the rest.
My work has been featured in Click Magazine, recognized by the International Photography Awards, and placed in Top 10% of of Shoot and Share.

What Clients are Saying
“I have worked with Mandy before and she is by far my favorite photographer I have ever used. As soon as we booked our trip to Oahu, I scheduled our photo session - even before any planned excursions! The whole process from booking to receiving our photos was seamless. Mandy has a beautiful artistic eye to capture the perfect photos. I am in love with every photo she took.”

“Our family booked with Amanda during a family trip to Hawaii based on her Instagram work and we were blown away with the photos we received after our session! She is extremely warm and kind, and was amazing to work with! She’s great with children and was able to get my 2 year old nephew laughing and smiling in his photos which can be challenging! I highly recommend Amanda, we are beyond excited to have these photos framed and put up in our home. :)”

Not only is Amanda a talented and creative photographer, but she was so easy and flexible on the day of our maternity shoot. It was during Cherry blossom madness last year and I was very pregnant and requested a last-minute location change. She didn’t bat an eye and made it all happen flawlessly. The pictures are amazing!
