Hello, I'm Amanda

Lifestyle photographer

Welcome!

I’m Amanda, and photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. In 2018, I decided to turn that passion into a business, and I’ve loved every moment of it since. There’s something truly special about being behind the camera—capturing genuine emotions, unforgettable moments, and helping people feel confident and beautiful in front of the lens.

Outside of photography, I’m currently working toward another personal goal: completing Nursing School. Life keeps me busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m married and the proud mama of a beautiful one-year-old daughter who is my entire world. Our home is also full of personality thanks to our two crazy kitties and our sweet senior red lab.

When I’m not studying or photographing sessions, you’ll usually find me enjoying the outdoors. I love spending time at the beach, traveling, hunting, fishing, and soaking up nature whenever I can.

One of my favorite parts of photography is meeting new people and getting the chance to tell their stories through my camera. I truly feel honored every time someone trusts me to document their memories, and I can’t wait to capture yours.


Every laugh, every tear, every quiet glance between two people who love each other — these are the moments that make up a life. My approach to photography is simple: I show up fully present, camera in hand, ready to freeze time before it slips away. I believe the best images aren't posed or staged — they're found in the in-between seconds, the ones you almost missed. A grandmother wiping her eyes during a first dance. A child losing himself in a burst of laughter. The way a bride exhales just before she walks through the door. These details matter, and it's my passion — my purpose — to make sure they're never lost. Because long after the music fades and the flowers wilt, your photographs remain. A lifetime of memories, frozen forever, exactly as they were.


I look forward to meeting you all and I can’t wait to capture your special moments!


Best,

Amanda Riker

Amanda came all the way to Hocking Hills, Ohio to get photos of the surprise proposal when my husband proposed she was wonderful as were the photos she was very professional and accommodating! We also hired her as our wedding photographer, and she made the whole day run smoothly and our wedding pictures are phenomenal!
