Did you ever think a portrait session could be therapeutic?

As I Am Project

A Raw and Unfiltered Portrait Experience

What is the As I Am Project?

Discover the Beauty of Your Authentic Self

The As I Am Project is a deeply personal portrait experience designed to celebrate women in their most natural, unfiltered state. No heavy makeup, no elaborate styling—just you, exactly as you are. This is an invitation to let go of perfection, embrace your real beauty, and step in front of the camera with confidence.

This session isn’t about creating a polished image—it’s about documenting your truth, your strength, and the raw beauty that already exists within you.

A Portrait Experience Without Limits

The As I Am Project was created to:

 

  • Encourage self-acceptance at every stage of life.

  • Break free from unrealistic beauty standards and embrace natural beauty.

  • Offer a transformative experience that allows women to see themselves through a new lens.

  • Capture the real, unfiltered moments that tell your unique story.

This is not just a photo session—it’s an act of self-love and empowerment.

I'm looking for 20 individuals who are ready to show up for themselves in 2025. If you're ready to embrace the raw & authentic part of yourself, then this portrait project is for you.

Who is this for?

Is it you?:

The As I Am Project is for any woman who:

  • Wants to celebrate her journey without the pressure of looking “perfect.”

  • Feels ready to let go of beauty standards and embrace her raw self.

  • Has been through personal transformation and wants to honor her growth.

  • Desires a portrait session that reflects her true self—without filters or judgment.

If you’ve ever wished you could see yourself the way others do—this session is for you.

My name is Amanda Van Meter Burch, a portrait photographer in Central Florida, & I have set out to capture individuals in their most worthy moments of vulnerability with the purpose of revealing their beauty with photographs that will forever remind them of their strength. I've been a photographer since 2014 with an eye for beauty & a love for memorializing women in artwork. If you're ready to delve into the deep end of yourself, let's do this!

"Awesome photography skills and awesome woman! Amanda makes you feel like you’re at home. Loved working with her!" - Taylor S.

Why This Project Matters

In a world that constantly tells women they need to look a certain way, the As I Am Project is here to remind you:

  • You don’t need to be “fixed.”

  • You don’t need to be “ready.”

  • You are already enough.

This project isn’t about trends or social expectations. It’s about realness, vulnerability, and seeing yourself in a new way.

She not only captured stunning images but also helped me embrace every aspect of myself, including features I was once insecure about. Amanda's ability to make me feel comfortable in my own skin was truly transformative. I cannot thank her enough for helping me grow and embrace my body, my smile, and all of my unique qualities.

Personally, I tend to be a bit camera-shy, but Amanda went above and beyond to create an environment where I felt not only comfortable but truly beautiful and confident. Her expertise in directing poses was exceptional, making the entire experience a breeze.
