Welcome to Wild Play Photography where memories are made in playful moments…
Hi, I’m Amanda, a photographer and part-time nanny living in Bend, Oregon. Being surrounded by mountains, rivers, and wild open spaces I am constantly reminded how special this life is.
My work is rooted in the belief that family photos should feel like you. Whether that be playful or in a tender connection, I’m here to capture the magic that happens when people let themselves simply be together.
My approach is gentle, playful, and inspired by you! Whether we’re wandering through a forest trail, exploring a park, or letting your little ones set the tone for the adventure, I’m here to capture the honest moments: the silliness, the tender looks, the kids playing in the dirt, the quiet hugs. My hope is that these images will be memories you’ll return to again and again.
For events, I bring along my Polaroid camera to create instant, tangible memories for you and your guests. These little snapshots capture the laughter, connection, and in-between moments that often become everyone’s favorite parts of the day.
Clients describe my sessions as warm, calm, and effortless. I bring the same nurturing presence from my nanny work into every shoot, helping you, and your family, feel comfortable and seen. Together, we’ll create art you’ll cherish for years to come.
Let’s go on a sweet adventure and make some truly joyful memories!
I can’t wait to create with you.
~Amanda
