Since I was little, I've always been intrigued by mysteries—by fantasy realms and imagining worlds beyond this one where happily ever after really does exist and all is well in the end. As I've grown, I've come to find it harder to hold onto child-like belief, to have faith in things we can't tangibly see, but feel and experience deeply. Like hope and unity and peace—and most powerfully, love.
Love that extends beyond the human condition, tethers us to eternity, strengths our connection to one another in vulnerability. Love that is resilient through reality to the very end and on after. Photography is my way of noticing—in gentle touches and subtle moments, in nature and in stories, the gentle whisper of love we will never quite grasp, but feel as we write our own soul story throughout this life.
The Art of Noticing
This is me, Amanda
about amanda
You could say I'm a romantic, an optimist, or a believer in happily ever after. I live my life by seasons, finding the ebb & flow to reflect nature & our majestic God who created this world I find so fascinating. I'm an artist ever intrigued by heaven, our fragile humanity, and the profound mystery of covenant. What an honor I consider it to hold your hearts, to travel alongside you in the greatest adventure of life—learning to love.

Surrender /
slow down & notice life
Sync in with the Spirit /
follow the whisper
Be fragile. Be human. Be free.
my philosophy
Life is a peculiar thing. I've found it's often lighter when I surrender it, when I allow my heart to speak honestly. When I let love lead. I've found God often feels more deeply than I do and his compassion for the realest parts of life awakens me to see differently, to connect deeply with humanity, to unravel the threads which weave us all to one other. Everyday I seek to listen, to slow my soul & notice the gift it is to be alive.
