Since 2012, I have worked with babies, some born as young as 27 weeks before their due date and some as old as 11 years old. As a prior NICU nurse, littles will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember caring for 11 year olds as a school nurse and being able to see wisps of baby in them, whether it be from their sweet tears from a fall or needing someone to hug.
I always looked for the baby because that's what motivated me--knowing that once they were sweet babies not too long ago. The days are long, but the years are short. The newborn stage is such a fleeting time, and that's why I've returned to babies once again. She took her time in the session to capture the most beautiful moments!

I absolutely adore immortalizing each step of that first chapter of life - from belly to baby to the one year old milestone. Prior to becoming a photographer, I was a full-time registered nurse and contract analyst. When I'm not using my camera you can find me hanging out with my three kids and husband.
Her professionalism is the best I've seen in any setting. Amanda has a beautiful studio with a relaxing ambiance that eliminates the jitters that come with being in front of the camera. We went to see Amanda for our two-year old daughter's first professional photography session. I was a little nervous at how uncooperative our toddler might be, but we all truly had fun during the session and Amanda got some amazing shots of our little girl!

Amanda is a very professional photographer who captures all of the innocence and magic of newborns in her portraits. I brought my baby days after birth and being a mother herself she was very patient, kind and understanding of diaper changes & bottle feedings. She also takes COVID-19 precautions very seriously and that is to be appreciated in this day and age! She has every prop you could ever imagine and all sorts of adorable outfits for your baby to be photographed in. I also had my partner & daughters along to be photographed with my son and she was so accommodating to all. The photos grace

Amanda was absolutely fantastic! I can confidently and honestly recommend that anyone considering a session not hesitate at all. While 2020 has been so unique and challenging Amanda has adapted the business and my wife and I felt completely 100% comfortable throughout our entire experience. The studio is clean, expertly managed, with sensitive and thoughtful ownership, professionally operated, and she is expertly skilled. Our photos came out amazing from a newborn and family session. We felt comfortable and safe bringing our infant and 3 year old too. She is so patient accommodating and kind. Pricing

Amanda is wonderful! Not only with the quality of her work, but also as a person. She is so warm and inviting, and soooo patient! We did a family photoshoot with our newborn twins and toddler who was being uncooperative, and despite all that, the photos turned out great!

Amanda was fantastic! Before the session, she’s very thorough in making sure she knows what you want. She was excellent with my son during the session and is very patient and kind. I’m a nurse and wanted to be as cautious as possible getting his newborn photos done in the middle of the covid pandemic, and everything in her studio is constantly sanitized and I felt very comfortable having her take them. She loves what she does and it shows! My photos came out beautifully and I ended up buying several more because I loved them that much! I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Amanda! ❤️

I absolutely loved working with Amanda for our newborn photos. She is so so incredibly talented! You can tell she really loves what she does and is a perfectionist in her work. The photos came out so much better than what we could have ever imagined. They were so beautiful and we feel so lucky to be able to have these memories. She was extra careful with covid guidelines and made sure we were all safe. I felt completely comfortable and knew we were in good hands . We are so grateful to have crossed paths with her and would recommend her 100%!

Amanda is such an amazing artist! She was very professional and very accommodating. We could tell she values her art and it shows in her work. She was very considerate and provided plenty of options for us. My husband thought she was excellent with our daughter and appreciated how patient she was with us through the process. She even changed the temperature in her studio to make sure our daughter was comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We look forward to supporting her in the future and highly recommend using Amanda if the details matter and you want a true professional.

Amanda was so wonderful! Made us feel extremely comfortable with handling our 1 1/2 week old baby. She’s a former NICU nurse so we were definitely in good hands! We collaborated and came up with ideas and images that we will cherish forever. Her prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of her work! Would recommend her to any new parents wanting to capture their sweet new little one.

Amanda Mandola did an amazing job on our newborn photos. She has a great set up with lots of beautiful props and wraps, she took the time to ensure there was a wide variety of poses and shots to choose from. Amanda was very careful with my son and made sure he was comfortable at all times, she was also very understanding when it took some time to nurse my son back to sleep. I would highly recommend Amanda for your child's photo shoot to capture those precious moments, we had a great experience!
