About this Buffalo NY Photographer ⤵

Hey there, I’m Amanda!

Born and raised in Western New York, I’m wife to Jim, mom to three wild and wonderful boys (9, 8, and 3) - I keep having to update those ages! And forever dog mom to Ziggy—our beloved golden doodle who’s since passed on, but is still very much part of our family in spirit.

Life is busy, loud, and a little chaotic—but full of love (and snacks).

I’m a family photographer here in Buffalo, and what I love most is capturing the real stuff: the messy hair, belly laughs, shy hugs, and in-between moments that show what your family actually feels like. I’m not about stiff poses or perfect smiles—I’m about connection, emotion, and memories you’ll want to hold onto.

I’ve always loved photography, but once I became a mom, I fell in love with being able to capture the little, fleeting moments of our boys growing up. So I dove in, learned everything I could, and started photographing friends and family—then friends of friends—and here we are.

I’m used to noise, chaos, and questionable listening skills 😉, so bring me all the energy and wildness. I promise we’ll make magic out of your real life.

If you’re looking for photos that feel like you, just as you are, I’d love to work with you.
