Testimonies
clients have to say …
“The experience left me feeling more powerful than I can even describe. From messaging about outfits and excitement, to sipping whiskey to calm my morning of jitters, to giggling through outfit changes, to hearing her motivating words throughout, to going through the final photos shortly after side by side, it blossomed an attitude adjustment in me, a mindset that I could feel budding in my soul waiting to burst. I felt confident, fierce and fun and it was reflected in those photos.
.
I've carried that fire with me ever since. On days when I need to channel some strength, some ferocity to push me through - I remember those photos, that day, the whole experience and I'm reinvigorated, like a flame to the brush, I light up. Like my most authentic self is shining through.”
“I had seen some of Amanda’s other work and really enjoyed the vibe in her pictures. I booked a boudoir session with her and I could not have been happier with the experience. Amanda is incredibly nice, kind, and professional. She created a safe environment where I felt free to express myself and she also guided me when needed, like when I wasn’t sure how to pose. She was also extremely receptive to my suggestions and together we were able to create the vision I had in my head. And I cannot say enough about how she creates a safe, empowering environment where you call the shots and do not have to do anything you are uncomfortable doing.
I walked out of our session feeling like a supermodel and when I got the pictures back (very quickly I might add) I could not believe it was me!
I would encourage anyone regardless of size, shape, or age to book a boudoir session with her.”
“I wish I had the words to describe how much we appreciate Amanda!
We have done two different sessions with French Press Photographie and Amanda has always made us feel comfortable and the entire process is always seamless...
The latest session we did was with our 2 year old daughter... Even in the midst of a toddler meltdown, Amanda's loving, professional, fun, patient personality made us all feel at ease and in the end we received the most gorgeous family photos we could have ever imagined!
Amanda's photos are without a doubt the most gorgeous photos we have ever seen! Her professionalism along with the fact that she is one of the most incredible human beings I have ever met is just the cherry on top.
Look no further for the perfect lifelong photographer...
I feel blessed to know Amanda will capture the rest of our family photos moving forward.”
“Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with! She made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful during the shoot, which in turn, came through in the photos she took! Her editing was beautifully and tastefully done, without being over touched. Working with Amanda was a breath of fresh air! If you're thinking of booking with her, DO IT!!”
'‘I'd rate French Press Photographie 1000 stars if I could! My fiancé and I decided to celebrate our engagement with a couple's boudoir shoot as something extra special and intimate just for us. We'd seen her amazing work and took our chances with reaching out to inquire. Not only did Amanda get back to us promptly, but she scheduled a video conference with us to share some details about herself, her work, and the connection to her clients she seeks to have in order to truly capture their essence. We shared stories about ourselves and our relationship and felt that we really vibed with her...We were beaming after the call. Day of shoot, Amanda made sure that we were comfortable and felt at ease to be ourselves. She made only a few recommendations along the way and really allowed us to create our own imagery. Since finalization of our reel and receiving and reviewing our prints, we can't help but relive what was such an amazing experience for us. Our pictures are beautiful, and we will cherish them forever.”
“Amanda is such a blessing! From the moment I sent her a DM on Facebook to the final reveal of my boudoir photo album she has been just a breath of fresh air. She's attentive, smart, creative, considerate, so incredibly caring and nice, and she understands everyone at all comfort levels. She's so easy to talk to but also doesn't BS. She tells you how it is and breaks down every little detail about your shoot for you so you're not surprised at the end like some companies/photographers like to do to you. Amanda's responsive to any and every question and never pressures you to do something you do not want to do. I've gained an amazing friend through this process. Not to mention, my husband loves the final products!”
“I am so excited to share with you (yes you, looking at this review 😉) how amazing my experience was doing a boudoir photoshoot with Amanda! Funny story, my fiance at the time, now husband, met Amanda out on the town and he booked this experience for me as a gift. I had never met Amanda and didn't know anything about her so when he told me he had booked the shoot for me and paid in full, I was surprised and a little skeptical to say the least! Amanda starting reaching out to me soon after and we set an appointment to meet at a local coffee shop and discuss next steps. From the minute I met Amanda I knew I was in good hands. She was so professional and open, thoroughly communicated about the process, and my excitement to do this photoshoot just sky rocketed! Amanda is very thoughtful about how she works, down to every detail, making me, a first timer, feel so comfortable. I had the best time shooting with her. The makeup and hair beforehand made me feel so beautiful and it was sucha relief to not have to do that part myself, assistance picking out my outfits and where to have the photoshoot, through the full photoshoot experience and executing my prints. She was amazing!! Just last week she dropped off the rest of my print order, which was a gift for my husband. I cannot wait to shoot with her again! Hands down the best experience ever and I won't take my business anywhere else after meeting Amanda.”
“Amanda is an amazing photographer who makes you feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the process. Her photos are keepsakes you will treasure forever.”
“What really appealed to me about the process was act of doing something totally glamorous and sexual, but only for myself. I’m so used to getting dolled up to look good for other people that it was a totally new experience to put on some gorgeous lingerie and put my body on display so that I could enjoy the experience and beautiful photographs that were a result of me taking time for myself.”
“As a professional photographer, I have extremely high expectations of how images of myself look. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when booking with Amanda, but I absolutely adored her personality. The experience of being around her is an exceptional 5 star experience in and of itself. Amanda is ready for a good laugh + creates an atmosphere that is SO COMFY. There is ZERO nervousness around her + the camera as she directs flawlessly, so you never feel silly with where your hands are, or if your chin looks funny. I still can’t stop looking at the images she’s taken of me, and I’ve already printed some out and given them to my husband! He noticed the quality + creativity Amanda provides too! From the moment of meeting her to the delivery of her AMAZING images, 5 star experience. Doesn’t get better than this folks.”
“Amanda is gold! We met beforehand to get a better understanding of each other. It was such a great touch that allowed us to be more comfortable in front of the camera, which definitely translated to our photos. She was kind, personable, professional, and a great photographer! I hope to work with her again soon!”
