Thank you for this interview, and Amanda thank you so much for sharing your story so openly. It is wonderful and inspiring to read about other mamas out there following their dreams and inspiring their children by being inspired! I can totally relate to working in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. Finding a balance between the two is still beyond me but I am working towards it!

I’m the mom of the cold little boy. Amanda certainly worked her magic that day. Thanks for helping us capture memories of our children!

I can say a lot about my wife, but the one that that always holds true is her beautiful heart that does show in ever photo. You are a wonderful photographer with a special gift, and you always make me proud to say you are my wife. I love you Amanda and it is an honor to read all these comments and everyone say so many nice things as I know them all to be true.

Just always remember who took that black and white photo of you and the girls, wink, love you.

Manda,

I sit here reading your answers, looking for what feels like the millionth time at your beautiful photographs and feeling so proud of you.

So proud of the lengths to which your able to share your inspiration, and to inspire others in the process. In awe of how your “eye” captures this world and the moments in it.

Your inner vision has always been such a intricate part of who you are and what you see. Your quiet nature and deep, meaningful lost in thought characteristics and compassion are shown so clearly in what you photograph and watching as the world takes notice of you and your talent is a beautiful thing!

I love you and I am so proud of you sis! Love Carrie

Amanda,

From the time you were a little girl, you had this ability to see in others that they might not have seen in them self. That is truly a gift. You have taken that into another aspect of you life and that is your photography work.

You are such an amazing and inspirational person!You capture the innocence in all children and find joy & laughter in places someone else might not have taken the time to look or see. I am in awe~

Your work stands out second to none! I am so proud of all that you have accomplishment.

I will be watching in awe as you continue this beautiful journey. I love you so much. Mom

Amanda, I love how open you are about sharing your journey and all the ups and downs that go along with it – it’s one of the first things I noticed about you when we were at the workshop together – you weren’t afraid to share. You are such an amazing photographer and I’m so glad I got to meet you!
