Hey there! I’m Amanda Beck, the heart and soul behind Amanda AnnO'lene Photography, based in Artesia, New Mexico.

Photography has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. There’s something truly magical about freezing a moment in time—the way a smile lights up a face, the way a child hugs their parent, or how the evening sun hits just right. To me, the camera is the most incredible invention—a real-life time machine. It’s the only way I know to pause life, hold onto memories, and revisit the beauty of a fleeting second over and over again.

Through my lens, I don’t just take pictures—I tell stories, preserve emotion, and help people remember the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a milestone or just an ordinary day made extraordinary, I’m honored to capture it all.

After moving to Artesia in 2017, I decided to turn that passion into a business, and this past May, we celebrated six incredible years! 🎉 I’m endlessly grateful to all the amazing clients who have trusted me to document their most cherished memories—whether it’s a graduation, an engagement, or the arrival of a new family member. Each session is a new adventure, and I love witnessing the beautiful journeys we all take.

As a native of this beautiful state, As a mom of four awesome kids, my children are often my favorite subjects—watching them grow is one of life’s greatest joys! Together with my husband and business partner, Karl (affectionately known as "Karl the Light Guy"), we’ve built a thriving photography business over the past several years. I couldn't have done any of this without him and everything he does to support me and my dream.

In March 2023, God gave me the opportunity to grow, when he blessed me with a brick and mortar studio at 322 West Main St., in Artesia. I have been fortunate to welcome customers from all over the SENM area into my studio and as apart of the Amanda AnnO’lene Photography family. Travel photography is something I offer as well. I will capture your event no matter the location!

There’s something magical about capturing a moment that fills my heart with joy. It’s that thrill that drives me every day!
