About Me
Welcome! I’m Amanda Strauser, a passionate graphic designer, photographer, and food stylist. My work is a blend of creativity and precision, whether I’m crafting visual identities, capturing stunning images, or styling food and brands for the perfect shot.
My Creative Journey
My journey in the creative field began 9 years ago, starting with me earning my BFA in graphic design. Then I worked in various agencies where I honed my skills in graphic design, creative direction, and Digital Marketing. These experiences have shaped my approach, enabling me to bring a unique perspective to every project I undertake. I thrive on transforming ideas into visual stories that resonate with audiences.
Photography
Photography is more than a profession for me; it’s a way of seeing the world. I find joy in capturing moments that tell a story, whether through the lens of portrait photography or the vast landscapes of nature. My photography services encompass a variety of styles, including portrait, pet, family, and engagement photography and much more. I love capturing genuine moments, ensuring that each photograph reflects the true essence of people’s stories and experiences.
Food Styling and Brand Photography
As a food stylist and brand photographer, I combine my love for aesthetics and culinary arts with a keen eye for detail. My goal is to make food and brands look as good as they taste or function, creating visually appealing presentations that entice and delight. I handle everything from styling to photography, providing a one-stop shop for all your visual content needs. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of the shoot aligns perfectly with your vision and brand identity.
Nature Lover
When I’m not immersed in my creative projects, you’ll likely find me exploring national parks. Nature is my sanctuary, offering endless inspiration and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I always have my camera ready to capture the breathtaking vistas, wildlife, and serene moments that these natural havens provide.

I believe that great work comes from great relationships. Whether you’re looking for a graphic designer with a keen eye for detail, a photographer who can capture the essence of your vision, or a stylist to elevate your culinary and brand presentations, I’m here to help.
