"Amandarose is everything you could ask for in a photographer. She's very professional, flexible, understanding, creative, she listens and she's thoughtful. She's also a rare find that still enjoys taking film photographs as well. I promise you won't be disappointed to work with her"

That’s why I do this work — to give you tangible memories of your family’s bond, both for you to enjoy now and for your children to treasure one day. From maternity to newborn to family milestones, these portraits honor not only your children but also you as parents — the foundation of it all. My goal is to capture your story in a way that feels timeless, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
I believe in capturing both the timeless portraits and the small, real, in-between moments that make your family unique. Growing up, I cherished the albums my mother created, and I wish I had even more photographs of her expecting and of my parents as new parents. Those images would have been priceless reminders of love, connection, and the joy of that season.
I believe in the unseen breathtaking moments
years I've been photographing
For me, photography is about more than images — it’s about preserving the love, laughter, and fleeting moments that define your story. And because memories deserve to live beyond a screen, I create albums and tangible keepsakes your family can hold, pass down, and treasure for generations.
Hi, I’m Amandarose
I’m a fine art film and digital photographer, telling stories through my lens since 2010. Originally from the East Coast, I’ve called Carmel Valley home since 2013.
My cozy cottage studio, nestled between Folktale Winery and Carmel Valley Ranch, is where I love welcoming clients to explore albums, frames, and heirloom pieces over coffee or a mimosa.

"My family had a wonderful experience working with Amandarose. We booked a fim family session with her when we were staying at Carmel Valley Ranch. Amandarose was a pleasure to work with, knew all the great photo taking spots at Carmel Valley Ranch, and charmed my daughter. We were really happy with the final product and have already received so many compliments on our family album. I would not hesitate to book her again!

Your story deserves to be captured in a way that feels effortless, heartfelt, and true to you. That’s why I’ve created two simple paths for working together:
A La Carte vs. All-Inclusive
a la carte
Perfect if you love flexibility. Your session fee covers the photography time, planning, and guidance. Afterward, you’ll hand-pick your favorite images and heirloom products — prints, albums, or digitals — one by one. This way, you only invest in what you truly love.
all-inclusive
Ideal if you prefer everything beautifully bundled from the start. This option includes your session plus a thoughtfully curated collection of images and products. With all-inclusive, you know exactly what you’re getting upfront — no decisions later, just timeless photos ready to be cherished.
