Hi, you’ve reached Amanda – Professional Photographer/Aspiring Hype-Woman in Bend, Oregon.
My work is experience and story-focused. I strive for authenticity, not just in the relationships I cultivate, but also in how I view and capture your vision. If you don’t walk away from our time together ready to take on the world then I didn’t do my job. Do I bring a lot of fire? Yes. Am I going to give you direction? Only as much as 20 years of experience tells me I need to. Will I swear? Probably, but not in front of littles or your Grandma. Can I get you into that kid’s birthday party bouncy house while you’re getting ready for your wedding? I will 100% make that happen. …true story, ask me about it.
Oh hey look it’s me!
Born and raised in the Mid-Willamette Valley I’m 110% Oregonian. The Central Oregon high desert is the home of my heart and I love exploring everything Bend has to offer on foot, snowshoe, bike, or horseback. The scenery still takes my breath away every. single. day. …but I’ll take most any opportunity to travel somewhere new. Fun facts about me: I currently live in a 200 sq/ft tiny house where I also have a garden and keep honeybees. I’m obsessed with corgis, but I don’t have one …yet. Their name will be MoMo. When I’m not working you can find me at the bouldering gym, at my ceramics studio, eating with friends, or finding a way to enjoy the outdoors. I really really really love what I do.
