Hey You!
I’m so glad you found me! Allow me to officially introduce myself and tell you more about me and what I do. As I’m sure you know, my name is Amanda Paige and I specialize in personalized intimate portraits. Together with my clients, I create unique intimate photographic works of art that can be cherished forever.
My portrait experience is about embracing yourself and celebrating who you are in your own skin at this very moment in time. To the world I say eff your beauty standards! It’s time to embrace the true meaning of beauty and it has nothing to do with a 6 pack or perky boobs (but if you have those - Kuddos to you!). This isn't just a sexy boudoir shoot - this is an experience. An intimate personal documentary. My passion is capturing the essence of beauty in all shapes, sizes, colors, orientations, and ages! Let’s create a NEW standard of beauty together. Let’s celebrate body diversity and show the world what true beauty really looks like!
ABOUT ME :)
I've been a professional photographer for 10+ years and am so excited to be using my talents to encourage EVERYbody to love themselves and be proud of who they are in their skin! This process isn’t just about capturing a beautiful image. This experience is about transformation and owning that magic that comes from being authentically you.
THE SILLY STUFF
I’m a native Californian and just recently moved to Winston-Salem. I’m a mom to two Amazing young adults and a full time photographer/business owner. HUGE HUGE HUGE Dodgers fan {Go Blue!}! I’m a whiskey girl...but as I get older its becoming clearer that we need to break up. I listen to the Beatles EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have been called a crazy cat lady once or twice in my life...although I don’t think 3 gatos is pushing maximum crazy. Most of the time you will find this suburban hippie barefoot - and yes the bottoms of my feet get pretty gross but, thank God for baby wipes and pedicures! I LOVE to eat - I’m a terrible late night snacker and I detest exercise.
Most relevant to you - I fell in love with photography when I was a gangly young pre-teen. Back in the 80’s, armed with my Kodak Ektralite camera, I’d dress up my little sister and create ”sets” in the yard and shoot till I ran out of film. I’ve been educated via institutions of higher learning as well as mentorships, workshops, and professional collaborations. Photography has been a great love of mine for decades now and I couldn't be more excited to utilize my passion for this amazing art form in a way that will bring confidence and power to all of you bad asses out there!
