The third of the top 3 questions we get asked all the time is: What is it like?

We’ve heard it all:
“Long distance never lasts.”
“It’s too hard.”
“It leads to disconnection.”

But for us, it’s been 7 years… and we’ve never missed a FaceTime call.

Maybe one or two, but I could count it only on one hand.

We’ve built a life of tiny rituals, calls from airport gates, dinner recaps from across the world, and goodnights that look a little different than most.

It might not be for everyone. But it works for us.

Not because it’s easy. But because it’s worth it.

If you’re navigating a season of distance, or know someone who is, just know it can work.

About the photos:
1 - A week in DC this spring. Craig worked while I studied and spent time with Monica who I miss so much!
2 - Me being mortified that we went to a meeting in matching outfits and Craig though it was hilarious.

Top Question # 2 - Is Craig in the military?

The answer is no, but we get this ALL the time. Craig originally went to Qatar to help design the World Cup stadiums as he was a Landscape Architect. But since he has been there he’s been promoted (a few times!) and is now a Vice President and the Technical Director overseeing the region.

He has designed lots of parks and cityscapes in the U.S. too! The coolest part? Flying over places he worked on and hearing him say, “See that? I designed that.” Secretly famous, if you ask me! 😉

Before I answer number 3. What questions do you have about us living apart? Drop it below!

One of the first questions people ask us about Craig living in Qatar is about alcohol. 🍷🍷

The truth? You can drink, but only if you have a liquor permit (yes, really). You need a job, a certain income level, and the amount you can buy depends on your salary.

If you want a drink in public, only a handful of 5-star hotels serve alcohol and a simple dinner with a bottle of wine has 100% tax on it. Needless to say, we don’t exactly do wild nights out in Doha! 🍷 (And no wine for me anymore anyway!)

What about these photos? Not Doha! It’s Italy!

This was our honeymoon in Oct 2015 (we went the month before our wedding), and it’s one of my favorite trips ever! But looking back, how amazing would it have been to find a photographer to take some photos of us there!

The laughter, the quiet streets, the view from our hotel room… those are the moments I treasure now more than ever.

Curious what else people ask us? Stay tuned for question #2.

➡ What’s one thing you’d struggle with if you moved overseas? We have seriously considered moving to Italy, but not sure I would survive that far from all the kiddos and now a grand-kiddo!

You don’t have to know what to wear.
You don’t have to practice in the mirror.
And you definitely don’t have to worry about what to do with your hands.

When we work together, I guide every step.
Not just the posing—but the pacing, the energy, and the story we’re telling through every frame.

You get to show up as yourself—and I’ll take care of the rest.

Meet Kate.
Family law attorney. Cat lover. Powerhouse in heels with the kind of energy that fills a room.

This wasn’t just a brand session.
It was about creating images that matched her pace, her purpose, and her presence.

Brand photography isn’t just about looking professional.
It’s about looking like you. The right you. The one your best clients are already searching for.

The story behind this photo? One of my favorites!

Kate is absolutely lovely ... inside and out. We had been shooting all day, and was our final stop. I was chasing that golden light for her lifestyle images, and it showed up right on time.

Candid moments like this are always some of my favorites. A quick glance over the shoulder, completely unaware of the camera, and suddenly you catch ease. You catch her.

The twinkle lights, the setting sky… it was the perfect way to close out the day.

If you’re ready to feel seen.
Ready to lean into who you really are,
and what you’re really building...
This work is here for you.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
You don’t need louder content. You need truer images.

You don’t need to pose like someone else. You just need to be comfortable in your own rhythm.

Because the best branding doesn’t perform... it connects.

That’s why my sessions feel more like conversations than photoshoots.

We laugh. We pause. We throw out half the shot list and follow the light instead. And somehow, what we capture? It feels like you.

If you’ve been craving imagery that holds both the grit and the grace of what you’re building, I’d be honored to help.

Not here to blend in.
Not here to play by the rules.
I’m a barefoot creative, an intentional photographer, and a story-first visual artist who leads with presence over polish.

If you're looking for someone to simply show up and “take pictures,” that’s not me.

But if you're ready for imagery that feels like you—and moves your audience before they read a word—let’s talk.

Hi, I’m Amanda,
I drive barefoot.
Leave my shoes behind like breadcrumbs.
And have a dog named Lily who immediately pouts when I put on "real" clothes (because clearly that means I’m leaving her).

I’ve followed Dave Matthews across continents, believe cheeseburgers are a love language, and constantly forget to remove my lens cap when I first start a session lol. I take my craft seriously, but not myself.

I’m a firm believer in cozy sweatshirts, moody lighting, and the kind of laughter that makes your face hurt. My husband lives in Qatar, which is a story for another time ... okay, or for the blog (yes, it’s a good one).

And somewhere between the barefoot chaos and creative spark, I’ve built a studio where soulful photos meet strategy. I don’t just take pictures. I help women reconnect with the story behind their brand
and feel good doing it.

Stick around. It's weird and wonderful in here.
