spreading love through this lens

Amanda Filkins, wedding + potrait photographer

I started Dainty Dove Photography after experiencing a long waiting season that felt like it would never end. Between battling infertility to struggling to find a fulfilling career, I decided to pursue something that would fill my cup in all of the ways that I needed. Creativity, flexibility, and getting to pour my heart into memories that people cherish are some of the ingredients that make this career so fulfilling. I hope to be capturing moments for years to come - yours included!
