Amandamarie Gillen Photography

Let's start with a heart to heart; coffee is on me! I want to learn about you and your love, what connects the two of you, and the love that you share. I will use all the information I learn to convey those feelings through your images. I don't simply capture moments, I strive to capture emotion. I want you to be able to hold a beautiful image in your hands and feel the magic and intimacy of your relationship.

We all know photographs tell a story, but I want you to feel yours!

As a wife and mother, and someone with a passion for capturing moments, I've come to find that each moment is beautiful and fleeting. These moments, especially with our lovers and little ones, are worth the world. I specialize in capturing these moments and creating heirlooms for you and your family to cherish for lifetimes to come.

Imagine being in your 90s, sitting down with your love, looking through the intimate couples portraits you had done together years before; just reminiscing together, or showing your grown children the love and connection you share. Imagine looking back on your boudoir photos and experiencing the empowerment all over again, or leaving those photos for your future generations to see your strength and beauty, and connect with it. Imagine your children and grandchildren finding a beautiful box of family photos or a family album years from now. Remember how you felt as a child looking through your parent's aged family photos? I encourage you to print, and print on archival materials; and being a full-service photography boutique, we can do that for you.

Today's moments are tomorrow's precious memories. Think of tangible prints and products as love letters to your family, to your lover, and to yourself. I do.

Hi, I'm Amandamarie, and I'm an intimate portrait photographer based out of North Carolina. I specialize in couples portraits and boudoir, and love photographing births and families as well. I'm a mother to 3 beautiful children, a wife to a handsome and supportive husband, and a lover of Jesus. When I'm not capturing memories with my camera, I'm either homeschooling my children, curled up on the couch with my favorite tea and doing some Bible journaling, adventuring somewhere with my family (or planning one), or snuggled up with my hubby and watching Netflix. Being a mom and wife, I know just how important making memories with your loved ones is. My goal is to create images that are personalized to you, holding emotion in a memorable way.

I am a natural light photographer and prefer outdoor shoots to take place around sunrise or sunset, and in-home and venue shoots to take place mid-day for good window light.
