Get to know me.

Hey there! I'm Amanda, or you can call me Mandie—I respond to both! At 29, I've had the pleasure of calling both Seattle and now Orange County, California, home. My journey led me back here to the beach, where my husband and I share our roots.

We have a golden retriever named Oliver and a spicy cat named Luna. Basically I’m obsessed.

I LOVE the rain. Moody everything really. Big Harry Potter fan. Coffee…obviously. ADHD yuppp.

I'm an introverted extrovert who thrives off human connection. Thankfully, being a genuine and quick connector is my superpower. People say I am quick to make them feel at ease, and I cherish the ability to weave authentic, candid storytelling into my photography. And then leave with new friends? C’mon!

I find immense joy in meeting new faces and forming connections. Capturing people's stories is an absolute honor—being let into peoples lives and getting to capture what it feels like is a special thing. Creativity runs in my veins, and I want my work to reflect a calming, joyful vibe. Let's create and celebrate together! Hope to meet you soon. 📷✨
