About Us

YOur Calgary Headshot Photographer team

Amanda Dams

Founding Photographer

It all started back in 2010 when Amanda studied Photography at the University of South Florida. For her first 3 years as a photographer, she focused on being a wedding photographer. In 2013, after taking many photography courses, she specialized in newborn photography, extending her portfolio to headshots and portrait photography as well.

Originally from Brazil, Canada became her home in late 2015, and since then she photographed over 1000 clients. In the meantime, she participated as a speaker at three different photography conferences in Brazil, sharing her knowledge with over 800 professional photographers.
