Working with Amanda was awesome, and it was almost like getting my picture taken by a friend. She took so many pictures, gave me directions but also let me do my own thing, and wasn’t afraid to tell me to put my chin down or tweak poses to keep things looking cute! We ended up with a wide variety of quality shots, and the whole experience was an absolute blast and a breeze. My pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY, and I will definitely come back to her for shoots in the future!

My shoot with Amanda was very relaxed and incredibly fun. We had a lot of laughs and took our time to get the shots we wanted. I really enjoyed how she tried to incorporate my interests and hobbies into the shoot as well. It was really fun and I would definitely take pictures with her again!

Amanda took photos of my daughter Quintessa for her Senior year. The information she got before hand was so thorough. She helped my daughter select outfits that photographer beautifully, and also reflected her personality. She really captured the essence of my daughter. We will forever treasure these photos. Amanda was an excellent communicator and we will definitely reach out to her again for any future photo needs.

Amanda is a true artist! The pictures she took of my 2 daughters are absolutely amazing! She helped guide us through picking the perfect outfits, scouted out amazing locations and truly captured their unique personalities! The girls felt like true models without the stress of “feeling posed”. She allowed them to act natural and be themselves in front of the camera and it truly shows in the photos... they are absolute perfection!

Amanda was wonderful during my daughter's photo session for her senior pictures from start to finish! She included my daughter in the whole process. Amanda made the session relaxed and fun. My daughter was happy to see that Amanda listened to what was important to her. She picked locations that my daughter loved and was able to capture my daughter's personality in the photos. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone and look forward to working with her again.

Joanna

An amazing experience! Before the appointment, she asked detailed questions about her, her interests, and her style. She worked very closely with us to coordinate my daughter's outfits and offered creative ideas for different and fun locations and posesAmanda made me and my daughter very comfortable and really was able to bring our my daughter's personality in every single photo. Amanda is a truly talented artist and I can't wait to work with her again! We highly recommend Amanda McNeal Photography!

Sam

Our pictures are absolutely stunning! She turned them around so quickly. Of course we had to purchase the whole gallery because there is no way to pick just five. The candid pictures of the boys are just priceless and accurately capture their spunk and personality. She is so talented and we love being able to have a session with her every year to capture our family as we grow up.

Amanda

Amanda is the best! She has taken pictures of our family for years - from our very first newborn photos to chasing our kids through fields. Her energy is incredible and she always captures the true personalities of our kids in all seasons of life. We always look forward to a session! So grateful for Amanda!

Amanda did a fantastic job accommodating all of our requests to make the photoshoot with my son unique and special to him. If she had any reservations about including our old dog, Buddy, my son’s old truck or photographing on our property, she never let on:). The pictures were absolutely perfect! Thanks Amanda💕

Carla

Amanda has photographed me alone, my family and my children. The tween shoot she did for my daughter was an incredible experience. She made my daughter feel at ease and allowed her to express herself.
The photos of my family captured all of our personalities - especially my sweet & sassy 4 year old!
When she took my pictures alone, it was an expressive shoot that I felt free and strong in.
I will keep coming to Amanda to capture our family authentically and fun!

Incredibly talented, AMAZING photographer. She finds a way to get the right shot that captures exactly what you want. My kids are 6 and 10 and the photos she has done of my children are the best ones we own. I highly recommend!

You did such a great job with our kiddos. They felt very comfortable and were able to have fun and be relaxed while taking pictures. There was so much variety in the 20+ minute shoot (this being my first mini session, I was blown away with how many shots we were able to get). And the final product...we were so happy! Glad to get back in touch since Max’s first year shoot 8 years ago!

let's chat about your session!
