WELCOME!

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my page!

I'm Amanda Dolly, I am a Wedding, Family and Newborn photographer living in central NJ. I am a wife to my high school sweetheart and momma to two amazing children (10 & 5 years old) Being a mother is the greatest blessing of my life. I am learning first hand how quickly time flies and it makes me all the more thankful that I get to freeze these fleeting moments in time for my clients! My goal is to make the experience as fun and carefree as possible so that everyone can relax and enjoy the moment. I want these photographs to be ones that you look back on time and time again to remember this sweet (and let’s be real- sometimes crazy) season of life!

Capturing the milestones of your life is my passion!

Engagement

Newborn

Newborn sessions are SO special! My newborn sessions are very natural lifestyle type sessions. These sessions take place in the comfort of your own home
7-12 days after the baby is born. I use a lot of natural light and love to capture the details of the nursery! In addition I will send a list of helpful tips to prepare for the session a few days prior to it.

Wedding

Family

Capturing the love between a family is one of my favorite things in the world to do! Each family has a unique story and it is my goal to help tell a part of that story. I enjoy photographing families in a relaxed and natural way. Sessions usually take place at a park, beach or just in their home, snuggling up together and having fun! When a sweet child looks into their parents eyes and that moment is captured, I know that is one that will be cherished forever!

Baptisms

Baptisms are such a special occasion! By hiring a professional for the day you can be fully present and enjoy every moment without having to worry about getting the perfect shots! It is such a blessing for me to witness these precious little ones being baptized!

Maternity

Having a baby is the beginning of a brand new chapter in your life and I love being there to capture those firsts moments! These sessions are very documentary style in nature. I will come to you within the first 48 hours of your babies life and and capture you connecting with your new baby, family members meeting baby for the first time, first feedings, and everything in-between.

Grow With Me

This package includes a Newborn Session, a 6-Month-Old Session, and a One-Year-Old Session! It is so special to capture these milestones! A baby’s first year goes by so quickly and they change so much with each passing month and these photos become precious keepsakes! I absolutely love being able to witness each baby grow throughout the first year of their lives!

a little more about me

I am incredibly passionate about capturing beautiful moments in life! I have always seen the joy and beauty in life, even in the smallest details, and this ignited my love for photography at a very young age. I love light and being in nature and this has influenced my style of photography in many ways. I tend to create images that are very natural, classic, bright and filled with emotion. In 2010 I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education, and although I enjoyed being a teacher, I knew my real love and passion has always been for photography! Soon after college I married my high school sweetheart and we now live in Central NJ with our son, Benjamin & daughter, Annabelle! I truly love what I do! Words really can’t express quite how much. I believe that life is something beautiful and it is such an honor for me to capture that something for every person, couple, and family that allows me the opportunity!
