Hey, my name is Amanda Faye
I am a Choas Coordinator (MOM to 3 busy kids), server/bartender and a big dreamer.
I have always had a love for photography! Starting from a young age; I loved looking at my grandmother's pictures from the 50's and 60's and playing around with Polaroid cameras as a kid. I grew up during the time where we used disposable cameras then digital ones and webcams to having a camera on your phone in your pocket. From the angles to the filters and everything in between.
I spent a little time working in a mall studio where I found a deeper love for what could be created from the images I captured. I learned how to use a DSLR camera, posing and editing. Of course, life does what life does, and I moved on from that job but the love and passion for being behind the lens had never gone away. I have bought and sold and re-bought my own cameras in the time since my mall photographer days picking it up and down throughout the different seasons in my life.
Why photography is so important to me
Photography is my way of time-traveling—because growing up, my own timeline is kind of... fuzzy. I’ve got a handful of childhood photos, most of them grainy, crooked, or mysteriously missing my face. So now, I chase moments with my camera, determined to freeze them. Some in crisp, colorful clarity. Others with a soft cinematic vintage vibe—dark and moody, colorful and contrasty.
I love it all.
I’m drawn to candid moments and little details:
- The deep breath the pitcher takes before throwing that game-winning strike.
- The little dance the outfielder does while waiting for fly balls and butterflies.
- The flowers on the table at your baby's baptism.
- The joy and love between new couples and new parents.
- The way your loved one looks at you when you’re not looking.
- The funny moments and outtakes—because real life is beautifully messy.
Raw emotion.
Real laughs and smiles > perfectly posed, any day of the week.
Photography is my way of giving others the snapshots I wish I had—the chance to hold onto the laughter, the chaos, and the love. Because time moves too fast, and memories deserve to be kept.
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” — Elliott Erwitt
