Amandahowardphoto A Storytelling Photographer based in Salem, Or Hello! I am a photographer based in Salem, OR. I love to read self help books and anything popular that's out.

I am married to a very kind man and we have two dogs who are our lives! I also draw, paint, cook, bake and go on lots of walks with my family. These things bring me a lot of joy. I would like to know what brings you joy!

wild hair, an endless sky and some colors that were made out of nothing 💫🫟🌾

ai is kind of scary so from now on, if i am posting photos of your children online i will be putting an aesthetic sticker over their faces to keep them safe.

i want to be a good human being and feel very moved to start doing this.

even if you want to post your kids online, my page is public so i am doing this extra step when posting.
people with children, your galleries will be made private and instagram and facebook posts will have stickers on photographs i choose to post.

we are all learning how to navigate this AI stuff and the internet and i’m just doing what my conscience is tugging at 🫶🏼

it’s been a minute since i’ve introduced myself and i wanted to do that today since i have some brand new followers as of recently 🤎

hi! my name is amanda and i live in salem, or. i’ve been practicing photography for most of my life but made what started as just something fun and what i enjoyed, an official business in 2020. i had encouragement from friends and family that year to step out and make this into a living, and that’s what i did! i left my day job at the end of 2021 and looked forward - scared and excited! like really scared. but i’ve never felt a pull to anything else like i do this job. i’ve had some hard seasons - especially in the beginning. growing confidence, working with people when everything is up to me, mental health. my job has seen it All. but eventually i just flourished in this space.

i absolutely love my job, the people i get to meet, the art, the working from home. i love being a creative, i wouldn’t have it any other way.

I specialize in storytelling, so i come from more of a candid/documentary style than posing. i was getting burnt out a few years ago from doing the same poses and more traditional style, and switching over to this new mindset really gave me my passion back. i also felt like this style just brings up more connection when i’m talking with clients and helping them plan their session.
i feel very content in my business right now. i feel like i’m doing all of the right things and that’s a really cool feeling that i have a hard time describing. “cool” doesn’t feel like enough haha. it’s like when you’re trying to get the right words out and it’s only the feeling and urge inside of you that feels correct.

anyways, this is hella long. i just wanted to say a little about how i’ve been feeling about my work and you guys. every story is so special to me and when i look at your photos it’s like i’m experiencing what you’re experiencing and that’s so beautiful to me.

i love braiding stories together, thank you for always choosing me to capture yours.

yours truly, Amanda 🫶🏼

a woman’s body is beautiful. no one would be here without women, and that is a stunning thought. 🌘

pt.3 (the final part) “twilight and reflections on the lake.”

i could keep posting this wedding but i’ve gotta still enjoy my summer posts. i hopped back in time to a November wedding that happened the day before Thanksgiving because i hadn’t posted and was gonna work on it off season but here i am, almost a year later posting 😆

this wedding ended up having super moody vibes because of the season and time of day the ceremony was held. it’s a good example for my future brides and grooms to see what my work looks like during the different seasons of the year, and what colors and shapes the scenery might give off at your location. since we were in the woods it’s gonna be darker anyways and since this was a wedding that happened around 4/5pm the sun set sooner in November.

just some small helpful things to think about when planning your wedding day! you’re welcome 😉
