Hi! I’m Amanda — the photographer behind Amanda Inge Photography, and I’m thrilled to share my first New Mexico blog post with you!

After spending my entire life in Texas, my family and I made the exciting move to Los Lunas, New Mexico, and let me tell you… I have absolutely fallen in love with this place. From the warm, welcoming people to the breathtaking landscapes, New Mexico already feels like home in a way I didn’t know was possible.

And now, I’m so excited to bring my 10+ years of family and children’s photography to the families of Los Lunas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and the surrounding New Mexico communities.

Why New Mexico Feels Like the Perfect Fit

There’s something special here — something grounded and real. I felt it right away.

The sunsets? Unmatched.
The mountains? Magic every single day.
The Bosque? Quiet, peaceful, relaxing.
The people? Kind, friendly, and community-driven — my kind of people.

New Mexico has a richness that goes beyond scenery. Families here value connection. Heritage matters. Storytelling matters. And that aligns perfectly with what I love most about photography: preserving the story of your family in a way you can feel every day when you walk into your home.

My Heart Behind What I Do

I specialize in family and children’s photography with a focus on printed heirloom artwork — artwork that lives on your walls, not your phone.

My goal has always been simple:

To help families see themselves beautifully, joyfully, and proudly — in artwork they treasure for generations.

I take care of everything from wardrobe guidance, to beautifully styling your session, to designing wall art that fits your home perfectly. Whether your family is two people or twenty, whether your kids are toddlers or teens, I want to create a stress-free experience that feels fun, playful, and full of connection.

And now I get to do all of that surrounded by New Mexico’s incredible scenery — which still blows me away every time I step outside.

Serving Los Lunas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the Beautiful Families of New Mexico

As I rebuild my business here, I’m excited to photograph families:

in the Los Lunas desert light
under the cottonwoods of the Bosque
with the Sandias glowing at sunset
in the historic adobe textures of Santa Fe

New Mexico gives such a unique, timeless backdrop to family photos. Every location feels like a painting.
