About Amanda:

Before I became a photographer, I was a musical theatre actress, singing and dancing around NYC.

Before that, I studied visual and fine arts in a program at my high school called STAC (Student Television Arts Company) created by the legendary Ron DeMaio. In STAC, I studied film (my first lessons in shot composition and thinking outside the box - a skill I use to this day!), art history, video production and editing, dance, drama, voice, and collaborative ensemble.

Along the way, I studied musical theatre at NYU, performed in numerous national tours and regional productions, learned guitar and wrote songs, did a national commercial for Verizon, and studied the Meisner Technique (intense actor training involving true emotional life) for 3 years.

I felt compelled buy my first D-SLR camera and merge my visual arts background with my acting background. In my quest to capture the light and the emotion, I bring elements that make for stunning, exquisite portraits you and your family can cherish forever.
