Introduction

I focus on trying to make people look their best. I help with posing to give a person a boost in confidence you didn't know you had. As well as editing the images with colors and touches of softness to create an image you can't wait to share with others. My style is classy, elegant. I am inspired by 50's style glamour. How can you not love photography? Creating something that is beautiful and full of life. And the chance to be apart of some thing great. Experiencing a customers joys is what i strive for. Making people laugh and feel at ease is a plus. I love the creative work, so much so that i pursued it as a career choice. crazy, but life is full of adventure. Light is a tricky thing to master and recreate. The challenge is fun! Im not a "natural light photographer" I have had years of training in studio lighting. I try my best to add extra pop of light when on location, because the last thing you need on a sunny day is harsh shadows on people's faces. yuck. That is not flattering, nor are under exposed images. At the end of the day, you want to look at a picture that gives you some kind of emotion. When it comes to portrait photography my goal is to capture the person how they are, their laugh, smile, interaction with others. Lets face it kids don't sit still long for a photo session. I personally like to take the shots of the kids playing with their toys after the formal photos. Its the little things that make great photos.

Amanda did a fantastic job taking pictures of my daughter. She was very patient and let's be honest taking pictures of a 5 month old isn't any easy task but she did great! The pictures turned out amazing! My family and I love them. Considering a few family members cried after seeing them (That's saying something)! I wouldn't have any other person take pictures for me. Amanda is who I trust and would recommend to anyone!!

Amanda shot our wedding in 2007. She was very professional and worked hard to get the shots we were looking for. I've never worked with a photographer before but Amanda left us with a great remembrance of our day! We highly recommend her!

Amanda is so easy to work with and the resulting photos were fantastic! She has photographed my daughter's wedding and my grandson's baby pictures. The captured memories are beautiful. She is very reasonable in price and we will be calling her to do our new granddaughter's picture's. Thanks Amanda!

Amanda did a wonderful job taking photographs at our wedding in Alexandria, VA. She was very professional and personable, and she gave us some phenomenal mementos that we will treasure for a lifetime! I don't know how she managed to take so many fantastic shots, but we are so grateful! You should absolutely hire Amanda!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes and No. I do base my pricing off of many factors. Time of shooting, equipment cost, time editing, assistant pay, travel, location fee like studio rental (if needed, on location saves money for the client) Photo albums, printing or digital copies. I try to work with Clients the best I can within their budget. I also offer deals and specials.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet in person at a coffee place that is convenient for both parties. There I would go over the contracts and any expectations the client has. That way i get a chance to meet you before we shoot so i can prepare more efficiently.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to a commercial based college in Pittsburgh pa for photography. I gained four years rolled into 3 year round of knowledge in the craft. Graduated with a Bachelors of Science. While I was in college I worked 3 years as an assistant photographer for game day photos with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After graduation i moved to Rhode Island where I obtained a Product photography job shooting for an online shoe distribution company. After 3 years I got a new job working for a Studio in Boston shooting Products for some major clients in the fashion industry. However, I decided to move back to Pennsylvania to be closer to family, where i currently work as a Studio Manager for a Ecom Product photography company working with major organic food companies. I take portraits and weddings on the side. While in Rhode Island I had the pleasure and fortune to work with Amanda Morgan photography and Andrea Jay photography LLC, who taught me a great deal and their work is amazing. I recommend them if your looking for a photographer in the New England area.
