If you dream of being a wedding photographer this is the school for you.



There is the course that gets down to the nitty gritty. The behind the scenes actions that will get people talking about you. Be prepared for all the potential problems ahead of time, and know how to handle them.


Then continue on with critiques + coaching for those who want to keep getting ahead!

Hi, I’m Amanda.


I am a nerd.

I am a dreamer.

A storyteller.  

I am married to my best friend.

I am the mom of two amazing girls who keep me entertained as well as grounded. I'm also a mom to flocks, packs and herds.

I might grow up to be a cat lady. 

I love nachos & movie nights.   

I need coffee before conversing in the morning.  

I live on a funny farm.

My therapy is hanging out with family + friends, riding horses, watching the chickens peck around and telling stories about the goats terrorizing my world. 

I started Hearts & Horseshoes in 2008,  which became HeartsFoto, when I found myself taking pictures for friends and feeling like there was nothing I could possibly imagine loving more as a job/career/past time.  I love photos and the stories they tell.  My goal is to capture all the emotion while having fun doing it.  I truly believe that having fun is the only way to go about weddings + portraits.
