MEET THE Portrait Artist & Owner

Hey, I'm Amanda!

Live Kind Photography was inspired by my dad’s last piece of advice to my sister and me: “Just live life and be kind.”

Those words have stayed with me and shaped the way I see life, people, and photography. I believe life is full of meaningful moments, and those moments deserve to be remembered.

Through Live Kind Photography, I create heartfelt photographic artwork designed to be enjoyed in your home every day. My goal is to give you more than beautiful images. I want to help you create artwork that reminds your family they are loved, connected, and part of something special.

From planning your session to selecting the finished artwork for your walls, I’ll guide you through the entire experience with care.

Because life is meant to be lived, kindness is meant to be shared, and your story is worth preserving.

When I’m not photographing, you can usually find me outdoors, gardening, planning my next travel adventure, admiring the night sky, or spending time with my wonderful family and my cat.

The Live Kind Photography Experience.

Your photography experience should feel thoughtful, personal and easy from start to finish. I’ll guide you through each step so you can enjoy the process and walk away with artwork that feels meaningful in your home.

Plan Your Session.

Every experience begins with an in-person planning appointment. We’ll talk about what matters most to you, the people you love, your home, your style, and how you want to enjoy your finished artwork.

This is where we create a plan so your session feels meaningful, personal, and relaxed.

Enjoy Your Photography Experience.

During your session, I’ll gently guide you while allowing space for real connection and personality to shine through. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll take care of that.

You simply get to be present with the people you love.

Choose Your Artwork.

After your session, we’ll meet for your viewing and ordering appointment. You’ll see your photographs and I’ll help you choose the pieces you love most.

Together, we’ll design artwork that fits your home beautifully, whether that’s wall art, an album or meaningful gifts for the people you love.
