Well hello there! My name is Amara, middle name is Lea, nickname is Mar Mar, but most of the time I go by Mom! And if I’m lucky, hopefully you will call me a friend by the end of this!
*FUN FACTS: I’m a Scorpio, my love language is: Words of Affirmation, obsessed with thunderstorms, and I love my decaf vanilla lattes (caffeine gives me anxiety).
Looking back now, I should have known I was going to be a Photographer. As a young child, I was always taking any opportunity I could to take photos or video and the same as I grew older. After I graduated from high school, I went to NDSU to go to school for Interior Design. Interior Design is a big passion of mine, it was not what I had expected, but I still had every intention of finishing the program. While I was starting my sophomore year, I came to find out I was pregnant with my first child. I decided at this time I was going to step away from Interior Design and focus on my son.
Once my son was born in 2007, I took thousands of photos (which you always do with your first) and friends would tell me that I should become a Photographer. I do not know why it never crossed my mind since I always loved taking photos. I gave it more thought and finally decided to purchase my first camera and lenses, with the help of a family member, and from then on I have been doing Photography. I love that Photography is all about art and being creative, as creativity is a strong suit of mine. I am self-taught and I am still learning new things, everyday. As an artist you are always growing and striving to become better. I hope to capture YOUR story someday and give you the gift of memories for a lifetime to come!
