Hey There! I'm Amanda
You could say that I am the ultimate baby whisperer! From a very young age, there are two things that I have always loved, taking care of babies and taking pictures! Kids and babies just gravitate to me naturally, so it's no wonder that I find myself here owning a business doing that exact thing I love and chasing a passion of mine that started so many years ago!
Fun fact time... I earned my Bachelors of Nursing degree at the University of Michigan! I am also a pediatric RN and worked at U of M’s Pediatric Cardiothoracic ICU for over 3 years with a ton of very ill newborns! I then practiced in pediatric and family medicine for a year after leaving the hospital! After having my first baby, I decided nursing could wait, so we sold our house and made the big move to the Lansing area to be closer to my husband's work!
Eight years later, here I am still living this dream I call life!
My husband and I live in a household where the ladies out number the boys with our two daughters, one son and our labradoodle, Zoey! We have a love for camping and just spending time as a family! Oh... and we all share an absolute love for ice cream!
When I am not behind the lens, you can find me hanging out with the family all cozy on the couch watching the latest movie, running outside on a nice sunny day, or traveling the state in our camper with my crazy and energetic kiddos!
Call me crazy, but I have expensive taste as my husband likes to say haha! Filet mignon is one of my favorite meals ( I mean, what's wrong with that??)! A warm chocolate chip cookie is my kryptonite and I literally have no self control when it comes to them or any other sweets!
Have a look around my website, check out my portfolio, get to know me, and let's chat about your family. After all, there's only one of me, limited windows for gorgeous maternity and newborn photos, and availability is super scarce. Make sure to reach out to me today to get the convo started! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
