From Amanda Hein Photography… Ever since I was a little girl I have loved photography, capturing the world around me as it is. Ordinary details seen in a different way all of a sudden come alive to me. Light, atmosphere, relationships, and emotion are my driving forces behind my work. Staying in tune with the environment is also important to me – not only observing changing light and the beauty of textures, colors and shapes but also giving back. I offer a variety of eco-conscious products including albums, bamboo mounted prints and art prints printed on recycled materials with soy-based inks. I work with my clients and their families from start to finish, every meeting, every shoot, every email and every phone call.
I’ve been in business since ’05 and opened our boutique studio location in River West (Chicago) this year.
