About Mirage and Light Photography

Amanda Holzhauer

Owner

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

When you have a session with me, it's not just about getting perfectly posed images (though we'll get those too!). You may hear “YAASS!” from me more than once and you’re definitely gonna get some sort of punny jokes along the way. There may be times that I’ll have you do something silly to get a genuine laughing smile. Maybe I'll stop you while you’re walking because the light is hitting you in a way that looks like you're in a movie. Or perhaps I'll have you strike a model pose because the wind is blowing your hair perfectly like Beyoncé. It's those unexpected but beautiful moments that make an image really special.

    How can I explain with words just how amazing our experience with Mirage and Light (Amanda) was?? To start, I was referred to Amanda by my now-husbands cousin who had used her amazing skills for her own wedding! So I knew from the start that she was going to be amazing. From first contact, Amanda was so positive and professional. I booked her immediately and she offered a free engagement photo shoot with a wedding photography booking! Talk about a great deal! She was so lovely to meet and she made us so comfortable in front of the camera. Her payment plan was stellar and the contract was so clear and helpful, I had no trouble referencing any information I had forgotten. On to the wedding! As the big day approached, we listed out all the different groups to be photographed. Not only did she stick to that list so well, but she also thought of other group shots that we forgot about as the day was happening! She thought of everything! And if that wasn’t enough, her husband joined her to help with the pictures! They had the whole day covered and I always felt like every moment was being caught. As for quality, I feel so beautiful when I look at the pictures she took (and dare I say my husband also feels beautiful when he looks at them ;) So if you want a professional, organized, all around lovely person to do your wedding pics, Mirage and Light checks all the boxes!

    Amanda is AMAZING! She is so sweet and fun. My husband and I are no models, but she helped our quirky selves relax, pose, and take beautiful photos. From the engagement session at the beach with our surfboards to our pandemic mini-money. She really knows what she is doing and we are so thankful she has been with us to document our most special day. :}

    We hired Mirage and Light to capture our island getaway wedding and could not be happier with the results. Amanda's photography is incredible and she is a complete professional. She put my wife and I at ease and created photographs that really blew us away. Her ability to find those special hidden moments that other photographers might miss is reason enough to add her to your 'must have' wedding wish list. We highly recommend Mirage and Light Photography!

    It was our pleasure to have Mirage and Light photograph our events. One of the things we look for as florists when someone photographs our work is how accurately a photographer may represent color. Since so many clients book us off of previous work, it is imperative to have this accuracy so we can convey to others what we mean when we give them a certain color palette. Amanda and her team did a beautiful job on this for us, and she gave our clients lovely, candid, and natural looking memories of their gorgeous day. Everything was done just as it should be, and I am honored to recommend them to any couple seeking beautiful photos for their day.
