About me
Hi, I’m Amanda — wife, mother to four amazing boys, and the heart behind Tiny Hearts Studio. I’ve been a studio newborn photographer for nearly 20 years, and in that time, I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of families during life’s most meaningful moments. My experience, professionalism, and consistent quality of work have helped build a strong reputation across Minnesota. Many families travel over an hour — from all corners of the state — to visit the studio because they trust me to create timeless, heartfelt portraits that capture the beauty of this season. Whether it’s a glowing maternity session, a peaceful newborn shoot, or joyful family portraits, I’m passionate about making every session relaxed, meaningful, and full of heart.
My husband, JC, often makes appearances in the studio — assisting with sessions, capturing behind-the-scenes video, and bringing his calm, friendly energy that clients absolutely adore. Together, we’ve created a space where families feel relaxed, supported, and truly valued.

“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! From start to finish, she made my maternity photography experience absolutely magical. Her warm and professional approach helped me feel completely at ease, and they captured the beauty of this special time in my life with breathtaking artistry! Every image radiates love, joy, and the anticipation of welcoming my little one. The attention to detail, creativity, and lighting made each shot feel effortlessly stunning. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands how to make a moment timeless, Amanda is the one to trust. Thank you for giving me memories I will cherish forever!”
“We recently had the joy of working with Amanda for our newborn photo shoot with our daughter, Rosali, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, Amanda was warm, patient, and incredibly gentle with our baby. She created a calm and cozy atmosphere, which made us feel completely at ease. Amanda has a true gift. Our baby’s pictures brought tears to our eyes. Thank you!”
“My family had a wonderful experience working with Tiny Hearts Studio. Amanda was extremely responsive to messages and was flexible when we needed to change our appointment time. I sent her pictures of my daughter’s outfits and she created three beautiful, matching sets for her cake smash/first birthday session! The appointment itself was so fun! Amanda and JC were great with our daughter, and JC got some great “behind the scenes” videos that we’ll cherish along with our photos. We got our final pictures back so quickly and we are OBSESSED. We have a huge variety and she captured so many of our girl’s expressions. If you’re on the fence about the investment, don’t be. The experience and final product are worth every penny; we will cherish these pictures forever!”
