Get to know me &
my approach
 
 
Hi Again, as you may know,
Im Amanda Nicole
 
 
I’m outgoing, deeply rooted in joy, and inspired by the natural world. Northern Michigan
is where I learned to slow down, look closer, and deeply appreciate the outdoors, adventure,
and everything that grows wild. I’m drawn to animals, plants, and people alike, anything living, breathing,
earthy, organic, and full of soul.
That appreciation for light, nature, and the beauty of things as they are has shaped me,
and it still inspires my photography every day.
Coming from film where we had limited opportunities to capture moments, to now being in a modern
world where media can often feel overwhelming, I see picking up a camera as something deeper
than taking another photo.
It’s really about preserving moments we don't get back,
and that’s something I value deeply..
MY BACKGROUND:
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 12 years.
I have had the honor of working and learning across the country in many different spaces of photography.
From photojournalism to brand storytelling, to documenting events and love stories coast to coast,
my journey has been anything but one-lane.
Now, settling into weddings and portraits, what I do best,
I work primarily between my bases from the North Coast to the South Coast of the U.S,
often along side my partner who is now my permanent second shooter.
MY STYLE:
My style leans bright, true to color with a touch of vibrancy, but, every session sets its own tone.
I bring creativity, but I let your personality lead.
Your energy, your story, your connection - that’s what shapes the final image.
No two sessions are meant to feel the same.
MY APPROACH:
Collaboration. is. everything.
Experience has taught me that connection creates the best work.
If you feel a connection here, you’re where you’re meant to be.
I would love nothing more than to turn your moments into something you’ll cherish forever.
With love & light,
Amanda
