Meet Amanda

Your Chattanooga & North Georgia Photographer

I’m Amanda, a photographer, wife, and mother who cherishes faith, family, and the simple joys of life. You’ll often find me outdoors, whether we're exploring in our camper, kayaking down the creek, homeschooling my youngest, or baking fresh sourdough in my kitchen.

I’ve been capturing memories for families in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Northwest Georgia since 2009. Over the years, my passion has led me to focus on what matters most—preserving the fleeting moments of newborn, baby, and family photography. In my cozy studio, I create timeless portraits that tell your family’s story and celebrate the love that fills your home.

As a mother of two, I understand how quickly childhood passes. The long days of parenting may feel endless, but in the blink of an eye, they become cherished memories. One of my favorite photographs of my daughter captures her tiny freckles, a chipped tooth, and the faintest line on her nose. It takes me right back to her toddler years—years that feel like yesterday, yet have passed in an instant. Now, she’s growing up, and my son has already graduated high school. The only way I can hold on to those moments is through the photographs I’ve taken.

That’s why I do what I do. My calling is to help parents preserve the precious, fleeting days of childhood—not just through pictures, but through heirloom-quality images that tell your family’s story for generations to come.

I would love to connect and help you capture the moments that matter most.

With love, Amanda

A few things that fill my heart…

Camping trips, mountain mornings, and adventures in nature with my family.

Fishing with my husband and soaking up the peace of the great outdoors.

Homeschooling Norah, our bright and curious girl, while embracing being a special needs mom to Ethan, my incredible adult son.

Above all, we’re blessed by our relationship with Jesus, who guides our steps and fills our hearts with gratitude.

Forever thankful for a loving husband, a faith that strengthens us daily, and the little moments that make life so rich.
