"Amandarose is everything you could ask for in a photographer. She's very professional, flexible, understanding, creative, she listens and she's thoughtful. She's also a rare find that still enjoys taking film photographs as well. I promise you won't be disappointed to work with her or her team"

Hi, I'm Amandarose!
Thanks for being here! I've been in business since 2010 and am originally from the East Coast. I've been living on the west coast for over 8 years and LOVE IT! Pictured above is my sweet little cottage in the heart of Carmel Valley nestled between Folktale and Carmel Valley Ranch. I love inviting clients to the cottage to view our signature albums, frames, and more. Stop in for coffee or a mimosa and say hello!
I am so happy to be able to open up my doors and help support other small businesses and artists in the area. My associates are hand selected and truly are a fit to our vision, style, personality and more! Thanks for check out our girl Sam!
meet your girl!
Hey! I’m Kristin!
I’m so excited to hopefully work with you! I’ve been a part of the AGS Photo Art team for over 4 years, but I’ve been taking photos for at least 13 years! I started out photographing nature, as I love being outdoors and exploring. However, I photographed my first engagement session 7 years ago and realized I loved photographing people even more. I love capturing the love, joy, and connection between couples and families. It’s truly fulfilling for me. One of my favorite activities as a kid was looking through my parents’ old photo albums of their travels, and I think it’s so important to capture the big and small moments in life.
Working with Amandarose of AGS Photo Art, I’ve been trained by the best. I’ve learned through her how to gently direct couples to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera, use the best light, and capture raw moments for beautiful images you will treasure. When I don’t have a camera in my hand, you can find me hiking around Monterey and Big Sur, wine tasting, or soaking up some sun at the beach with my husband, 4-year-old and 2-year-old daughters.
Hope to see you soon!
Warmly, Kristin

What is a FULL SERVICE STUDIO?
After almost 20 years as a photographer, I have come to realize that most people lead busy lives that leave little time for designing albums, printing memories, or framing favorite moments. As artists, we strive to provide our clients with the best possible experience, from the first consultation to the delivery of their heirloom artworks. We work closely with our clients to understand their preferences and ensure that their memories are displayed exactly where they want them to be.
At AGS Photo Art, our mission is to transform your memories into beautiful works of art that you can enjoy every day. We understand that designing and creating art can be overwhelming, and we are here to take the stress out of the process for you. As experts in our field, we are committed to delivering the best possible service to our clients.
In today's digital world, most photos are at risk of being lost or forgotten. Our full-service studio offers a unique opportunity to preserve those special moments for future generations. We take pride in our work and are dedicated to ensuring that our clients' memories are captured and preserved in a way that is both beautiful and meaningful.
We are one of the few photographers who offer full-service solutions, and we are excited to help our clients hold their life stories in their hands!

"My family had a wonderful experience working with Amandarose. We booked a fim family session with her when we were staying at Carmel Valley Ranch. Amandarose was a pleasure to work with, knew all the great photo taking spots at Carmel Valley Ranch, and charmed my daughter. We were really happy with the final product and have already received so many compliments on our family album. I would not hesitate to book her again!
