I've been following Hocus Focus for years...

... and I was very excited to finally get have a little girl so I could book a newborn photography session. I knew from all of Amanda’s photos that I would love my final product but I wouldn’t have guessed how fun the session itself would be. Amanda expertly managed my toddler, husband and I as well as our newborn and had us laughing throughout the session. I highly recommend Hocus Focus and I don’t imagine we’ll ever go elsewhere for any photos. - K. Harmar

Scarlett's Newborn Session

If there were 10 stars I would give Amanda 11!

Amanda is an amazing photographer and person. Her talent behind the lens is outstanding. She knows how to get the best pictures out of your kids, no matter how difficult they are. You will be so surprised and amazed when you meet with her to go over the pictures...THEY ARE ALL KEEPERS! And then she edits them even further and your mind will be blown!! Words cannot express how enjoyable working with Hocus Focus has been. We will be back for more family memory-making, and I would highly recommend anyone looking to make their own memories to use Hocus Focus. You will NOT be disappointed! - K. Palacios

Palacios' Family Session

Amanda is absolutely amazing to work with.

I knew that I wanted to use her for my daughter's photos because I fell in love with my friend's photos who had them done by her. They are so colourful and vibrant. I called her when I was in my first trimester because I wanted to make sure we’d have a spot. Right away we got along and she was easy to talk to. She asked me some questions and I felt very comfortable talking to her and knew that she’d be great to work with - I booked her on the spot. The whole process was very smooth and never once did we feel uncomfortable. We couldn’t be happier with the storyboard we got of the mugshot pictures she took of our daughter. They all turned out better than I could imagine and we have a beautiful piece we can show off in our house now. I also thought it was very nice that she cane and hand-delivered it to us. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to be there to see their reactions when they open their pictures. All the pictures she took were so amazing that we loved them all. We had so much fun at the ordering appointment because she was just as excited as we were. Amanda was very understanding when we told her we’d been up all night the previous night that the morning of our session she bought us Starbucks I can’t tell you how nice that was. Overall the session was very relaxing. Amanda was great with our daughter Everly- the baby whisperer for sure! I was a little nervous that she wasn’t going to cooperate but Amanda worked with her and she was great in the end and we got some beautiful pictures out of it!! Ultimately I would recommend Hocus Focus Photography to anyone looking to have lasting memories in stunning pictures. She did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier. We are so sad it’s all over now. It was a great experience we would do again in a heartbeat
