Working with Amanda was not only fun and easy, but it was inspiring and uplifting! Her generous spirit and natural talent shine through in her work. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your photography needs!

Amanda is incredibly talented! She was so fun to work with and made our family session a breeze. She was amazing with our toddler and her photos captured his personality so well. We received our photos within days and were thrilled with them! Each one was better than the last. Amanda’s style is light and bright and she knocked it out of the park with our session!


Candy S. 

Amanda makes this easy! We love our photographs. So much that we had them done with her for the third year in a row! She is professional while making you feel so comfortable...like spending time with an old friend who is really good with a camera. We love Light Shine! 


Laura J. 

We just had our third session with Amanda and always have so much fun! She has a knack for finding the best locations and lighting, making everyone feel comfortable, and capturing the personality of our 15-month-old son. She's also a trooper in trying to get our energetic dog to cooperate for a photo or two :) I love the family photos she has taken and look forward to more sessions in the future!


Megan A. 

Amanda is just lovely! She made us feel so comfortable. At the time of our session we had a 18 month old boy who doesn’t like sitting still. Even though he wasn’t into posing for pictures, Amanda was able to capture so many sweet pictures of our family that I will cherish always. I will definitely be booking our family pictures with her next year!


Mallory H.

We’ve used Light Shine Photography for years capturing everything from family photos, to birthday parties, to a newborn session, to our kids’ milestone birthdays. Amanda’s exceptionally talented at capturing live events as well as posed shots—and—most importantly for us, she’s incredibly adept at working with kids and animals. Her proficiency in photography, paired with her awesome interpersonal skills, make for easy-going shoots and incredible photos.


Bethany T. 

I cannot say enough great things about Amanda! I had been nervous with an energetic 2 yr old who hates pictures, but she immediately made us all feel at ease. Somehow she knew exactly how to keep our son focused without taking the fun out of it, and the best part - I could just sit back and let her work her magic! He was happy to follow her direction and smiled for every picture. Amanda knew exactly how to make us all feel comfortable and was so great at helping us pose and also capturing beautiful candid moments. We can’t wait to work with her again!


Megan W.

Amanda is not only great at giving us a true laugh, but the quality and professionalism of the session and photos are so appreciated. It’s also a humbling opportunity with 20% of the session fee given to a faith-led non-profit. Fantastic photos, even better photographer, and all in an effort to be a light for others. Thank you for allowing us to be photographed!
