Me and my wife have known Amanda for years. She was our wedding photographer and has done many of our family photos every year since.
This time was something new. I was never the husband that cared much if my wife did a boudoir shoot because I just didn’t think it was my thing…gentlemen… and ladies of those gentlemen… I was wrong. My wife finally did it, spur of the moment, and came home glowing. She’s already the hottest woman I know, but the way she came home and explained what she’d done had her on cloud nine. When the photos finally came in… needless to say, I’m so thankful we’re married, and the God gave me this beautiful woman to be with for the rest of my life…as a married couple, this is one of those things that throws something different in the mix and changes things up a bit. If you feel like you run out of new things to try, try this. It’s worth it…. And I’m just the husband.
If you are having doubts, let me tell you - GO FOR IT!!! I have always felt a little on the heavy side and not super comfortable in my body. But my partner loves photos of me and I thought why not give it a try. I have followed Mandy’s pages for a long time and reached out. She instantly got me scheduled and talked through different outfits and makeup with me. I was worried leading up to it that I would feel awkward and uncomfortable but when I got there Mandy was so warm and welcoming and there was no room for any awkwardness, uncomfortableness or embarrassment! She had tons of poses for me to try out when I was uncertain and was super supportive of whatever ideas I wanted to try. I ended up getting a really gorgeous leather bound photo album and ordered a canvas. The photos turned out absolutely incredible, I couldn’t even believe that was me on the page! Even though it was a gift to my partner, it was also a gift to myself and helped changed the way I view myself. Thank you Mandy! To everyone considering it- literally could not recommend her enough!
Mandy made me feel so comfortable while she photographed me. I went in feeling so anxious that I almost didn’t go through with a boudoir shoot. She told me exactly what to do & my nerves went away so quickly. She made me feel so comfortable. The final results blew me away; I feel like a queen now. I am so much more confident now & I couldn’t thank Mandy enough for it.
Amanda is an absolutely amazing photographer!! I could not recommend her more. My session last year was a fabulous experience. I was nervous, as this was completely out of character for me, but Amanda made me feel so comfortable in my own skn and beautiful. My session was extra special for me as it was just after I learned I had breast cancer and I wanted to capture 'me' for my husband, and myself, before any surgeries or treatments potentially changed me forever. (I am almost a year out of active treatment and doing very well; thank God) Even if you are camera shy, she will bring out the best in you and make you feel so comfortable in front of the lens. She put me completely at ease during the photo shoot. I am not a vain person but I have to say the pictures are beautiful. I can't even begin to express how much my husband loves the images. Best surprise I have given him and we have been together over 36 years. 💕💞💕Even if you are modest and a bit shy, give it a try! Amanda is fantastic, courteous, efficient and so good at getting the right angle; she is the best!
Amanda was such a charm to work with. She is sweet and sassy, making me feel comfortable. The experience with her was empowering and she did a magical job not only making me feel beautiful and worthy, but showing me how beautiful and worthy I am. I would be photographed by her again in a heart beat. It made me feel powerful as a woman. Doing a session with her made me come alive. SCHEDULE A SESSION WITH THIS FABULOUS WOMAN. Do it!
No two bodies are the same and my goal is to show you what a gorgeous goddess you are.
