They will become timeless memories for generations to cherish. Book your maternity session & preserve your family's story in treasured artwork filled with love and joy.
I am a lifestyle photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. I specialize in family, couples, maternity, and newborn sessions. Through a playful approach, my goal is to foster a relaxed and fun photography experience.
Parents who encourage their kids to be kids, while trusting the beauty of authentic connection, are my kind of families. While I provide direction as needed, I also step back and photograph your family not just for what you look like, but for who you are. Resulting in imagery that captures your family's unique story as beautiful works of art.
I am also a wife, mama to two wild little things, yogi, nature lover, and writer. To me, family is everything. It's my main inspiration in life and I absolutely love connecting with others who share the same view.
If you believe your family photos should be about creating fun new memories as much as they should be about documenting your family's season of life, then I'm your girl! And I cannot wait to see what we create together.
I'm Amanda

A Comfortable & Empowering Maternity Session
Pregnancy is a time of immense strength, expansion, joy, discomfort, empowerment, & love. All wrapped into a short 9 months before your baby arrives. This transformative journey into parenthood is filled with so many wholesome moments sure to fill a mother's heart with deep sense of connection.
Your thoughtfully curated maternity session provides a space where your family can express your love & anticipation, creating lasting memories that encapsulate the unique bond you share before welcoming your new baby. My goal as your photographer is not only to take beautiful images. But also to create a comfortable & relaxed photography experience that allows you & your growing family to feel at ease. I want you to forget about the camera & focus on the love you feel for your family.

"Amanda is unbelievably talented & also very down to earth. She took the time to make my shy children feel comfortable & they had so much fun during the shoot. I feel so grateful to have these beautiful photos to treasure as my babies grow older. If you are thinking about booking a family session I highly recommend Amanda. We will definitely be booking more photoshoots with her again in the future."
Rachel - Motherhood session
What clients are saying
"We loved our experience with Lux Marina Photography. Amanda put the whole family at ease. Which is no small task with my photo-resistant husband and two young children. The whole morning felt so much like a playful romp in nature, I almost forgot we were doing a shoot. Which I realize now must have been her goal - she captured such wonderfully candid and tender moments between us!"
Aidan - Family session
What clients are saying
Amanda is such an amazing photographer! My husband & I can be pretty awkward, but she made us feel so comfortable like we were just hanging out with a good friend while getting pictures of us taken. She was open to all of my different location ideas& very quick at responding to questions. I highly recommend her for your intimate family photos & I am very much looking forward to doing our newborn photos with her.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for maternity photos?
I recommend scheduling your maternity session when you are between 30-36 weeks pregnant. This time range helps insure that you are still fairly comfortable & the risk of going into labor is relatively low. Booking your maternity session in advance is always encouraged, so reach out today & let's start planning to document your beautiful baby bump!
Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
What should we wear for maternity photos?
Keep it timeless, comfortable, & aesthetically pleasing. Shop your closet first, chances are you already own something you feel beautiful in. Then coordinate your families outfits around yours with 2-3 complementing tones that are flattering on everyone. I will share style guides, offer wardrobe styling, & have numerous blog posts with tips, tricks, & seasonally appropriate outfit suggestions.

You have the option to choose between your session taking place at a local park within 15 miles of Eugene/Springfield, in your home/at The Gray Lab Studio in Corvallis, or to select from one of my carefully scouted adventure session locations at the Oregon Coast, Mackenzie River, or a waterfall within 100 miles hours of Eugene.
