Each individual session is uniquely customized with you in mind. I work to perfect every detail so you can have a stress free, enjoyable experience. And when booking me as your family photographer, I feel that quality should be equally as paramount as the experience when working together.
I want you to be smiling, laughing, and feeling at ease throughout the entire process. I want you to trust in me 100%, and I want us to be friends! Every moment with your family should be celebrated and I will be with you every step of the way!
As your family photographer, I am there for you. From custom props, to style guides, to selecting the right location, and most importantly, guiding you through your session. I want to capture the authentic moments that makes your family truly unique.
I always tell my families, that you’ll never regret doing it, but looking back, you may regret not ever doing it one day!

HELLO!
I'M AMANDA
Whether you're having an intimate gathering in my beautiful, in home studio or out on nature's path with me. I want you to look back at these memories we create together just as if it happened yesterday!
I want to turn your family's first memories into beautiful, one of a kind, framed art and create heirloom albums of your baby's first year of life that will looked back at for generations to come!
I've been a newborn, maternity and family photographer based out of the Greater Lansing area for over 2 years and could not imagine doing anything else!
I am a wife and busy mom to two beautiful little girls, so I know first hand how important it is to capture your life's greatest moments because they truly do slip away all too fast. My greatest goal is to capture both the big and small moments that I know your family will cherish and look back at for a lifetime!
"We had a wonderful experience with Amanda for our newborn session! From the start of the process; she was quick to respond, friendly and professional. During the session, she made us feel very comfortable in her in-home studio and explained her process along the way. Amanda was very gentle with our little one and she captured some amazing pictures. We would definitely recommend Amanda and would use her again in the future!"
"We had such a great time with Amanda! She was very professional and captured AMAZING pictures of our newborn. We felt more than comfortable and safe in her in-home studio especially during this crazy time. Thank you Amanda!"
"Amanda was so kind and easy to work with! We absolutely fell in love with the vision she had in mind for our maternity session. My husband and I both felt comfortable and directed for the entire shoot. For the Love of Photography made booking very easy. Amanda promptly answered any questions that came to mind and had great suggestions. Thank you, For the Love of Photography for making me feel so beautiful and capturing a moment in time that my husband and I will cherish forever!"
"We had an incredible experience working with Amanda! It was snowing and raining, yet she made it fun for our large crew and captured some great moments. She worked quickly, which is absolutely necessary when dealing with a lot of kids and our pictures are gorgeous. We will definitely be contacting Amanda again!"
A: Absolutely! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery!
A: After booking, all families receive a customized newborn questionnaire where they will note the specific colors they prefer and any colors they dislike. I will uniquely style and customize each session based on your individualized answers. I also try to accommodate any special requests or colors as long as the session is booked in the second trimester, as all of my props are hand made.
A: Families and siblings are so important to capture with your baby. I work at your baby's pace, letting them lead the way, allowing time for your baby to eat on demand and take breaks if needed. Because your baby's pace drives the session, I only include siblings and family photos within my full family session fee, which is 3 hours.
A: Absolutely! But, I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence, that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. All of this is done and ordered right through your online gallery!
A: Although your final gallery is available for 30 days after your final images are delivered, I do keep your final gallery photos on a backup hard drive. I encourage families to download their files during this timeframe and purchase all prints and digitals within the selection phase or the final gallery phase. However, we will absolutely print your photos outside the given window with a minimum purchase of $100.
A: Yes, I do! I require the payment of the session fee to be paid in full to hold your date, but your collection and heirloom's can be purchased using a payment plan. I can stretch your fine art purchase out over 2 or 3 months, or whatever works best for your individual needs. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will work with you to make it happen! It's that easy!!
A: I Love that question the most! To book me for a session, simply let me know what you want session you want and what collection you are interested in. 1) Session Type, 2) Preferred Collection 3) Additional Sessions (option) and 5) What payment plan option works best for you. You will secure your date by paying your session fee in full and all other payments will be completed after you see and select your final images!
Love what you've seen here? Don't wait!
After all, the most important thing to do when booking your photographer is to simply BOOK IT! I'm only one person, and so I only have so much availability. Let's lock it in!
