THIS WAY TO LOVE

We create images that celebrate your every day love. Weddings are awesome, but we're here for family, for life, and the real moments that make your heart so full of joy.

Remember when they had those CHunky thigh rolls?

"Amandarose is everything you could ask for in a photographer. She's very professional, flexible, understanding, creative, she listens and she's thoughtful. She's also a rare find that still enjoys taking film photographs as well. I promise you won't be disappointed to work with her"

I believe in capturing the real, raw moments in addition to the traditional family portraits with everyone looking at the camera. I grew up cherishing the prints and albums my mother put together of our family and still, to this day, look back at those images with fond memories. They remind me of the best parts of my childhood; playing house with my brother; sitting on my dad's lap at breakfast, and of course, the endless love that my mother always gave. They tell a story of who I was and who I am today. I want to document your family's bond and make sure you have tangible memories for yourselves as parents, and for your kids to cherish one day.

Taking family photos may sometimes feel like a challenge, but it is one of the most important things you can do for your family. Kids grow up quickly. Life gets so busy that you might forget to document it along the way. As much as a family session is about the kids, it's about the parents too. You are the foundation of your family. Your love and support of each other is what allows your family to flourish. I'm here to capture it all--the big and small moments. Every family is different, and I strive to showcase your special bond in a way that is beautiful, simple, and uniquely you.

I belive in the unseen breathtaking moments

years I've been photographing

I believe my purpose is capturing special moments and documenting countless stories. I do it for the feels, laughter, tears, the small details, hugs and unseen moments. As a Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur photographer, I’d be honored to capture your family's story no matter how big or small.

Hi, I'm Amandarose!
Thanks for being here! I've been in business since 2010 and am originally from the East Coast. I've been living on the west coast for over 8 years and LOVE IT! Pictured above is my sweet little cottage in the hear of Carmel Valley nestled between Folktale and Carmel Valley Ranch. I love inviting clients to the cottage to view our signature albums, frames, and more. Stop in for coffee or a mimosa and say hello!

"My family had a wonderful experience working with Amandarose. We booked a fim family session with her when we were staying at Carmel Valley Ranch. Amandarose was a pleasure to work with, knew all the great photo taking spots at Carmel Valley Ranch, and charmed my daughter. We were really happy with the final product and have already received so many compliments on our family album. I would not hesitate to book her again!
