Whether it’s the beauty of new beginnings, your love's tender glances, or families who embrace the wonder, wildness, and magic of their little ones, every moment deserves to be treasured most authentically and beautifully, especially here in Maui.

My work is about presence, not perfection. Let me help you slow down and savor the magic of NOW in a way that's heartfelt and timeless. 

Whatever your vision or story may be, I’m fully committed to bringing it to life and capturing it in its truest form. Let's create magic that feels like you.

    "The photos from our Maui maternity shoot have been shared for a while now, and we still get compliments! We did an "underwater" shoot, and people keep saying, "I’ve never seen a maternity shoot like that before." Amanda captures exactly what you’re looking for in a photo."

    "Amanda is amazing! Her work is pure ART. She made our maui family photo session so comfortable and fun, even with my 2-year-old having tantrums the whole time! Our photos turned out incredible! By the end, my daughter didn’t want me—she wanted Amanda to soothe her! That speaks volumes about her talent and character."
