Hi, I’m Amanda, a San Jose-based photographer focused on sports and action.

My background is in wildlife and bird photography, where I’ve spent years capturing fast-moving, unpredictable subjects in natural environments. That experience has shaped how I approach sports: anticipating movement and tracking split-second moments.

My favorite sports are ice hockey and baseball, and I’m interested in opportunities to work in live game environments. Whether it’s the intensity of a play developing or a quiet moment between sequences, I aim to capture images that reflect energy and emotion.

I bring attention to detail and reliability from my professional background working with clients, and I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, improve, and contribute. Thank you for taking a look at my portfolio.
