Upstate Ny Wedding + Family Photographer
Creating authentic, timeless and intentional images that capture all of your special moments
Meet the Photographer
Hello, I am Amanda! I am the lead photographer at Arise photos and I am so happy to have you view my website. I love photography with so much of who I am. Working with new and existing clients is very exciting for me!
A little bit about me is that I have been passionate about photography from a very early age. I knew that being a full time photographer was a dream of mine and attended both SUNY Fredonia and The Rochester Institute of Technology for fine art and advertising photography.
My small business took foot officially in 2018 and I've been building clientele and capturing the most important memories in people's lives ever since. My decision to go full time in 2023 has been a GAME CHANGER for me! I’ve never been more amazed by the world around me than now and I cannot wait for the years to come.
I would love to hear from you about your upcoming photo session, or event big or small. Cannot wait to hear about your special moment!
testimonials
She gave us the freedom to run with a couple of our "creative" ideas, but was able to step in and direct us when we didn't know what to do next. Thanks to her, I have pictures of James and I that I will forever cherish.
J+J
She is an honest, hard working entrepreneur who genuinely wants you to have a good experience. She is talented and produces great photos but is also reasonably priced.
H+M
She was communicative from the very start, prompt, professional, and fun through the whole process. We had a somewhat non traditional idea for our pictures and she worked with us to deliver exactly what we wanted every step of the way!

Amanda has amazing technical skills and perfectly captured beautiful images in a variety of lighting scenarios ON THE FLY but she also has incredible personality and creativity that she poured into our whole day from start to finish.
