Hi there! I’m Amanda! The owner of Creative Thinking 4u. First, I just want to say thank you for being here. Whether you’re a small business owner looking for professional product photography or a culinary genius seeking high-quality food photography, I’m so glad you’re taking the time to read about my journey.
I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was fascinated by how one image could capture a moment, a feeling, or a memory. My early days behind the camera took me through weddings and lifestyle photography, each experience teaching me something new. But, let me take you back to one of my most defining moments.
I still remember the nerves I felt when I shot my first wedding. It wasn’t just any wedding—it was a travel wedding! I was beyond excited, but also terrified. The weight of capturing such a significant moment was heavy, and I questioned if I was really ready. But as soon as I began shooting, something clicked (pun intended!), and I realized that nerves were just energy that pushed me to do my best. Looking back on that day, it’s amazing to see how far I’ve come. That experience showed me what was possible when I believed in myself.
As I continued to grow, I found my true calling in product and food photography. I felt a deep connection with the detail and creativity these fields demanded. There’s something magical about being able to bring someone’s product or culinary creation to life through images. This shift led me to start Creative Thinking 4U and the leap from taking on occasional photography jobs to building my own business was one of the bravest things I’ve ever done.
I didn’t just want to take photos—I wanted to help businesses thrive. Whether it’s a small business owner launching a new product or a local restaurant revamping their menu, my goal is to provide affordable, high-quality photography that tells a story and resonates with their audience. Commercial product photography and food photography became my specialties because of how much impact a single well-crafted image can have. Every shot is about capturing the heart and soul of the product or dish, so potential customers feel something and are driven to engage with the brand.
The courage to believe in my vision is what brought Creative Thinking 4U to life, and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some amazing brands along the way. From local artisans to culinary entrepreneurs, each project is an opportunity to create something that truly reflects the client’s brand.
Now, whether you’re here because you’re looking for e-commerce photography to boost your product sales, or you’re a St. Pete foodie who wants to showcase their restaurant’s signature dishes, I’m here to make sure your visuals speak to your audience in the most authentic and powerful way possible. It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about helping your brand connect with people through high-quality, professional imagery.
Thank you again for reading. If you’re ready to elevate your brand through, product or food photography let’s chat! I look forward to helping your business shine through the power of photography.
