Hi, I’m Amanda.

I’m a Midwest photographer and lifelong storyteller based in Milford, Ohio. I photograph families and businesses throughout Milford, Loveland, Goshen, Batavia, Blanchester, and the surrounding Cincinnati suburbs.

These days, my work spans everything from families and seniors to branding and commercial photography for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and corporate teams — plus the occasional muddy soccer field on the weekend.

Let’s be honest: most people don’t love being in front of a camera.

So my sessions are easy on purpose. I guide you when you need it, keep things moving, and make sure everyone (kids and camera-shy adults especially) feels comfortable. When you’re relaxed, the good stuff happens naturally — the real smiles, the real connection, the moments you’ll actually want to remember.

Before all of this, I spent more than 15 years as a visual journalist at The Cincinnati Enquirer, documenting everyday life and big stories across our region. That experience taught me to anticipate moments, work quickly, and capture honest stories with a camera.

Along the way, I’ve been lucky to be part of a Pulitzer Prize–winning newsroom team, earn a couple of Regional Emmys, and co-create the true crime podcast Accused, which has been downloaded more than 50 million times and received multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards.

These days, I also co-run the independent podcast network Grab Bag Collab, so when I’m not editing photos, I’m probably editing audio.

And when I’m not doing either of those things?

I’m probably at a practice or a game, editing from the front seat of my car with my laptop and a giant iced coffee (or Diet Coke… okay, technically Coke Zero). I’m happiest hanging with my family and our dog, catching up with friends, or reading a good book when the house finally gets quiet.

At the heart of it all, I just really love helping people feel seen. Whether it’s your family, your business, or a once-in-a-lifetime moment, you deserve photos that feel honest and beautiful.
