Hello and welcome! My name is Amanda Anderson, lead photographer at Amanda Anderson Studios.
I believe that some of the most beautiful photos happen when you finally feel safe enough to let your guard down. My approach to photography is grounded in empathy and connection, providing the gentle guidance you need to feel comfortable while I capture not only the posed photos, but also the the raw, 'in-between' moments that truly tell your story.
Whether I’m documenting your wedding day or a magical fantasy session in the Northwoods, I’m here to hold the space so you can simply breathe and be yourself. I offer a completely custom editing experience; whether you're dreaming of a cinematic, moody gallery or a vibrant, ethereal aesthetic, I tailor my work to match the unique soul of your day. My mission is to see you exactly as the people who love you do—beautiful, authentic, and perfectly you.
My creativity doesn't stop behind the lens. As a creative with ADHD, I thrive when I’m leaning into my various artistic outlets. This "all-in" energy is exactly what allows me to bring the same heartfelt storytelling and strategic eye to everything I do—whether I'm capturing your memories, playing a melody, or building a brand.
Beyond the camera, I serve our community through:
Live Music: Sharing my heart through singer-songwriter, indie-folk, and soft-pop covers at local wine bars, weddings, and private dinner parties.
Social Media Marketing: Helping small local businesses find their voice, simplify their strategy, and grow an authentic online presence.
Whether I'm capturing a moment, playing a melody, or building a brand, my goal is the same: to create genuine connections and celebrate the beauty that makes our community home. I hope that through my work, you’re inspired to look for the magic in your own everyday life, too.
