Cherish the memories.

I’m here for you.

What Families are saying:

  • Family on vacation in St. Augustine, FL sitting on beach blanket at sunset with greenery in background.

    "I messaged almost every photographer the morning I messaged Sweet Smiles Photography. Every last one of them just sent me a copy and pasted list or picture of their rates. Sweet Smiles immediately sent me an actual message and wanted to talk to me to get my vision and understand what I wanted. I told my husband, "I don't care what she costs, I want her." I wanted a fun & memorable experience with my kids and family and I know I would 100% get that with her. I am so excited. Thank you!"

Celebrate the Moment

Hi there, I’m Amanda, the one behind the camera!

Every journey is unique. Some happen quickly and leave you wondering how the time flew by so quickly… some happen slowly and take a much longer road full of ups and downs. Whatever your journey is, it deserves to be celebrated; you deserve to be celebrated. Parenthood takes a lot of energy, so wouldn’t it be amazing if you had a photographer who planned it all out for you so you could focus on the things that really matter, like making memories with your sweet baby and kids? In a fast paced world where you’re constantly in motion, choose a photographer that can take the wheel and make sure that everything goes smoothly for you and your family… because a journey worth traveling is worth remembering.
