Specialties
Amanda Myers of Crane Creek Photography is a portrait photographer, specializing in family photography, including maternity, newborn, children, high school seniors and family portraits. These sessions are mostly on location and using only available, natural light. (A favorite spot is Sims Lake Park, but there are many beautiful locations in the Suwanee, Duluth, Johns Creek, and Sugar Hill area.)
Crane Creek also offers family storytelling sessions, which is a documentary-style approach where your family is captured completely organically - no posing or camera-aware shots. These sessions are typically done in a client's home or a combination of in-home and out on a family activity. Your family will be photographed without ever having to "look at the camera and say cheese!"
Other popular offerings include baby milestone photography, gender reveal photos, and a modern, magazine-inspired approach to women's beauty portraiture. (This is NOT your mama's 1987 Glamour Shot.) (Hair & Makeup services provided by Advanced Coloration Salon in Historic Buford, GA.)
Crane Creek Photography serves clients in and around the Suwanee, GA area, including Duluth, Johns Creek, and Sugar Hill.
Amanda strives to provide an exceptional client experience, with planning and preparation for your session, a pre-session consultation, communication along each step of the way, and your Photo Reveal and Ordering Session. Products include albums and wall art such as canvas and metallic prints.
History
Established in 2011.
Hi, I'm Amanda of Crane Creek Photography. After 10 years as a financial planner in the investments industry, I gave birth to my first child (of three!) and decided to stay home. I took up photography as a way to document my baby's life, and found a passion for creating beautiful images. I started by doing photos for friends, until they encouraged me to start my business.
Since then, I've taken nearly a thousand hours of courses to sharpen my shooting skills and editing.
Newborn Photography is one of my most popular areas, and I take safety very seriously. I've taken over a hundred hours of coursework on newborn posing and I will never put your precious child at risk.
I recently began shooting high school senior graduation photos and I am completely in love with it!
I also have donated my time and talent to organizations including HomeStretch, Sugarloaf United Methodist Preschool, First Presbyterian Preschool, and the GA Innocence Project.

A little bit about me...
Born & raised in Milwaukee, WI, I played volleyball and moved to Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech on a scholarship. I graduated with a degree in Public Policy and pursued a career as a financial planner and have worked for Merrill Lynch, AIG and Fidelity Investments. I still hold my CFP designation and occasionally take on special projects for private clients.
In 2010, I gave birth to my first daughter, and now my family is complete with two daughters and a son.
My husband and I are active at our local church. When we can get a babysitter, you can be sure to find us at PURE, Sugo, or One41 for dinner.
I also am very involved in my kids' school, Sugarloaf UMC Preschool.
I have an absolute passion for photography and love to have my camera ready all the time.
