[about Sean]

Born into a family of artists and teachers, and I like to think I received a good mix of both. I was always a numbers guy growing up, but the pull of photography was relentless.

I moved to Portland for college, and while finishing my degree, I took up street photography to pass the downtime. Documenting everything going on within the city ended up being almost an addiction for me. This time influenced my style quite a bit, pushing me towards a more journalistic and documentary style approach to shooting. Street photography in Portland really got me out of my shell and introduced me to many new people, and even creating some lifelong friendships.

It’s that human connection which I found through photography, that has made it impossible for me to set my camera down. After over a decade of experience behind the camera, taking pictures has become second nature for me.

In my spare time, Igeek out about video games, economics, the beautiful outdoors here in Oregon. In addition, I pretty much have a camera with me 24/7 too. About as Irish as an American can get, I love celebrating that part of my heritage.

[about Amanda]

I've always been a creative person, but it's taken me my whole life to find the right outlet. Growing up I was told to find a career that doesn't feel like a job, and I'm grateful to have found photography so early on in life. I'm driven to always keep learning about the craft and further myself.

This is the biggest adventure in my life thanks to my wonderful partner Sean, who has been the biggest inspiration for me to be the best person I can be. I may be young, but what I lack in age, I make up for with ambition and unbridled enthusiasm. I love the cheesy moments, the mushy kisses, and getting caught in the rain. 

I want to capture the best moments of your life, just as you envision them. I love asking all those deep questions and being able to record your honest emotions. I am definitely a people person and believe strongly in the importance of communication, for all relationships.

I love some quiet relaxation on my time off, and you can often find me watching Netflix in my pajamas, curled up in a heated blanket with my kitty Aurora. I am also very into herbal medicine and the culture that surrounds it.
