Amanda Dawn

boy mamas, I see you.

does getting your son to cooperate for photos feel like... a sport?

well, I've got good news.. you've found the right photographer for your son's senior pictures.

hi, I'm Amanda. I've spent years turning "I hate photos" guys into guys who are actually having a good time in front of the camera.

no stiff poses. no awkward "okay now just stand there" moments. I lean into who they are, their humor, their energy, their comfort zone... and make the whole thing feel like just another part of the day.

the result? real moments. relaxed energy. and yes, mom... you'll even see a real smile... with some teeth. 😉

breaking up the feed to share a peek at what my fun, secretive project was last month..

I got to spend 27hrs back in California to capture this surprise proposal at beautiful Torrey Pines.

we all have some stories to tell of the adventure but it was so worth it!!
