"Amandarose is everything you could ask for in a photographer. She's very professional, flexible, understanding, creative, she listens and she's thoughtful. She's also a rare find that still enjoys taking film photographs as well. I promise you won't be disappointed to work with her"

I believe in capturing the real, small, raw precious moments in addition to the traditional portraits with everyone looking at the camera. I grew up cherishing the prints and albums my mother put together of our family and still, to this day, look back at those images with fond memories. I wish I had more photos of my mother when shew was young and expecting. I wish I had more photos and moments of when I was newly born and to see the light in my parents eyes. They remind me of the best parts of my childhood; playing house with my brother; sitting on my dad's lap at breakfast, and of course, the endless love that my mother always gave. They tell a story of who I was and who I am today. I want to document your family's bond and make sure you have tangible memories for yourselves as parents, and for your kids to cherish one day.
We know that your time is valuable, we know that making memories with your children trumps shopping for wardrobe and planning the details of your photoshoot.
The stress of portraits is REAL and thats why we have created a portrait experience serving you and every detail of capturing the beautiful connection of your family. From wardrobe help, styling to hair & makeup, we plan ALL the details! We even design your gallery wall and your help you find and install!
We tend to every detail so you can spend time where it
Taking milestone portraits may sometimes feel like a challenge, maternity, newborn and family, but it is one of the most important things you can do for your family. Kids grow up quickly. Life gets so busy that you might forget to document it along the way. As much as a some sessions are about the kids, it's also about the parents too. You are the foundation of your family. Your love and support of each other is what allows your family to flourish. I'm here to capture it all--the big and small moments the beginning middle and generations too. Every family is different, and I strive to showcase your special bond in a way that is beautiful, simple, and uniquely you.
I believe in the unseen breathtaking moments

"My family had a wonderful experience working with Amandarose. We booked a fim family session with her when we were staying at Carmel Valley Ranch. Amandarose was a pleasure to work with, knew all the great photo taking spots at Carmel Valley Ranch, and charmed my daughter. We were really happy with the final product and have already received so many compliments on our family album. I would not hesitate to book her again!
