Let your personality shine, because you’re only a senior once!

You only get one senior year, so celebrate it!
I know how hard you've worked to get here.
Don’t let senior year go without capturing this moment!

Your senior pictures deserve to be uniquely tailored to you.
My aim is to make your personality shine through your photos.
And shine you will when you’re in front of my camera!

Let’s end senior year with a bang!
It’s my goal to make your senior pictures not only fun, but stress-free as well.

Natural and Realistic

My photography style is realistic with a bit of contrast. I keep a natural look to my portraits to retain the details of the environment, while adding a bit of contrast to help you stand out from the background.

Adventure Awaits

I’ve been in your shoes before, and I’ve learned that life is all a big adventure. It’s meant to be enjoyed to the fullest, which also comes with capturing those special senior year memories. Photography is my lifeblood, and I’m always looking to learn how to further my craft.

Sessions Tailored To You

Everyone has their own style, likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite outfits, places to visit, etc. My goal is to create senior portraits that suit your personality and make you feel comfortable and excited about having them taken.

Hi There!

I’m Amanda, owner of Amanda Photography, and I’ve been working with seniors for over 7 years! Senior photography is my entire focus!

I’ve been so lucky to call St. Louis, Missouri my home for my entire life. I love the outdoors and going on adventures to places like Lafayette Park in downtown St. Louis, or to small towns like Waterloo, Illinois. Even walking the streets of St. Charles, MO and visiting all the local shops (especially anything with chocolate).

When it comes to your senior pictures, you can feel rest assured that I’ll be able to capture who you are in a location around St. Louis that feels meaningful to you. My goal is to showcase seniors unique personalities through photographs!
