OHIO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

meet AMANDA ELLIS

 Inspired by the Renaissance masters and black and white photography, I craft each portrait with intentionality and care. You won’t catch me telling you to “just be natural” while I click away wildly. I’ve carefully studied the art of posing, and I’ll position you to perfection down to the way you rest your hands and hold your mouth.

I’ll even teach you how to breathe in a way that floods your pregnancy-laden posture with strength and power. Basically, I leave nothing to chance in my pursuit to bring you the portraits of your dreams!

Since 2009, I’ve documented the magic of motherhood with a modern, vibrant, and dramatic style.

We have used Amanda ever since my daughter was a newborn. We absolutely                        and she even did a birth story for our son (highly recommended). She captures the                        MOMENTS We will cherish forever.

I had Amanda do my maternity and first child’s newborn shoot 2.5 years ago and she just did my second child’s newborn shoot… She’s amazingly laid back and patient and takes her time to get the hard shots which will ultimately make you happy…She is very talented and creates artful, poignant keepsake images that you’ll love.
