A glimpse into the gal behind the camera…

—

Hi! I am Amanda Holder, and I am so glad you are here! I feel so incredibly blessed to be considered for your upcoming photoshoot. Being a photographer is a dream come true for me because I firmly believe that life goes fast and we forget to soak in all of the small details. By capturing some of those authentic memories, I hope to deliver a product that helps you cherish each moment for years to come.

Since you are trusting me with your family memories, and maybe considering handing over your newest and tiniest little love, I want to share a little of my heart with you. I am a Jesus lovin’, leggings wearing, hair-in-a-bun kind of gal. I love coffee with oatmilk, Perfect Bars, doggies, and I live for a long run on a hot Florida afternoon. I have an incredible husband, Mark, and a precious 4 year old little girl, Paisley. My passion has always been working with kids, but in recent years, I have felt so blessed to have the opportunity to love on and pour into families from every stage of life. Before becoming a photographer I was a special education teacher and I served in the Army Reserves for 13 years with two tours to Afghanistan.

After overcoming a pretty decent bout of depression and anxiety, creativity is finally flowing again and I am so overjoyed to be considered for your upcoming shoot. I pray daily that the families (and specifically the mama’s) that I get to work with can feel heard, seen, and loved - because when you feel that way, it makes the natural smiles come much more easily.
