Welcome to My Creative Corner: Photography, Art, and Inspiration


Hello and welcome!

If you’re here, I’m guessing you’ve found me because you’re either a potential client searching for a photographer who fits your vision, or you’re a fellow creative artist looking to grow your skills and find inspiration. Either way, I’m so glad you found my little corner of the internet!

This blog will be a space where I share photography tips, creative projects, and the lessons I’ve learned from years of exploring the art world. Whether you’re here to gather information before booking a session or simply looking for ideas to fuel your own creativity, I hope you’ll stick around!

Who Am I?

My name is Amanda Elswick, and I’m a photographer and multidisciplinary artist with a lifelong passion for the visual arts. I’ve been creating since I was a kid—drawing, painting, sketching, and experimenting with every art form I could get my hands on. My curiosity and love for creativity have only grown over the years.

While I’m self-taught, that journey has given me a unique perspective. Learning by doing has helped me understand what works (and what definitely doesn’t), and it’s shaped the artist I am today. I believe that art and photography are about connection—capturing moments, emotions, and stories that words alone can’t tell.
