Her goal in life is to live a life worthy of the Lord, to love her family passionately, and to create life-long memories for people all over the world. She says, " If I can capture a moment in a persons life, that is the greatest gift I can them. I am giving them a permanent reflection of their life and love that they can remember forever."
Amanda would like to say thanks to the following To my lord: Thank you for creating people, and giving us the ability to love, learn and feel emotion. You have been my source of strength and I will never be ashamed of the love I have for you. To my amazing husband, thank you for supporting me for loving me and for all the exciting times that we share together. You have been my support, my best friend and I love you forever. To my Mom and Dad: without both of your love, support, and discipline, I have no clue where I would be. Mom, my ability to work hard and to press through situations comes from you. You are the strongest woman I know, and I value your influence in my life and business. Dad, you represent joy in my life. You have supported every dream I have had and are a symbol of what every Man of God should strive to be. Thank you both for being such a huge part of my life.
