Hello.

I'm Amanda Kamppinen, a born and raised Midwesterner. Photography captured my heart at a young age, and it's been my career for the past 20 years.

Grand Rapids, Michigan, is where I call home, living here with my three darling children, my husband Tim, and our beloved pitbul Zoey.

Driven by light

I specialize in food and headshot photography, using light, texture, and movement to create images that tell a story and leave a lasting impression.

I love collaborating with businesses of all sizes, whether it’s capturing professional team headshots, creating mouthwatering food visuals, or showcasing your brand with vibrant lifestyle shots.

Think of me as part of your team—ready to dive into the creative process and bring your vision to life. Let’s make something amazing together!
