Hello, I am Amanda Wyman
I am the owner and sole photographer of Berkana Photography Studios.
Born and raised here in beautiful Colorado, I have a deep appreciation for our wild spaces and animals and I love incorporating that into my work with my clients.
I am a mother to both a son and a daughter. Becoming a mother was one of the most profound things to ever happen to me and I want to help other mothers commemorate their journeys as well.
WHAT DOES BERKANA MEAN?
Berkana is an ancient Scandinavian symbol, known as a rune. The word "Berkana" translates to "Birch Goddess." In ancient Scandinavia, birch trees were symbolic of fertility. The Berkana rune encompasses all aspects of fertility including conception, pregnancy, birth and rebirth, motherhood, and new life. The energy this symbol gives off is one of nurturing and motherly love.
"So grateful to have found Amanda! She has great communication, is flexible, follows through with her commitments. I had both my maternity and newborn pictures done by Amanda and they brought me to tears with how beautifully she captured my family and met every hope I had about the pictures. Couldn’t recommend Berkana more and will certainly be coming back for all photography! Thank you Amanda!"

"AMANDA WAS SO INCREDIBLY PATIENT WITH OUR SON AND WENT AT HIS PACE. sHE HAD THE MOST CALMING PRESENCE AND THE SOFTEST TOUCH WITH OUR BABY."

"Amanda, has such an amazing eye for lighting, scene layout and take total care in the prep. that being said what is important about photography so to review I must tell you not about Amanda but about Julia, she is a fun, silly adventurous and shy little girl but you'd never see the shy in these photos, she crinkles her little nose when she is excited, she tilts her head when she is being curious and for some reason she always lifts up her little foot a weird quirk that I just love my favorite smile is when she shows her teeth. believe it or not Mandy's didn't do much other than setup and I say that in the best way possible. a lot of photographers are like look here pose this way sit here move there and the kids get stressed out. Mandy laid on the floor and let me be me and Julia be Julia as a mom that's what I want I don't want my baby to look like a perfectly posed baby I want her messy and full of life and to be happy not forced into positions that aren't natural to her so behind Amanda I played peek-a-boo and got her to smile the way I know she smiles at me not the smile she gets when she is unsure. she looked away and those pictures came out amazing, she tilted her head and Amanda got that. she did not overwhelm my child she didn't force her into unnatural poses. not a moment was my child uncomfortable and when Julia was done the shoot was done..... that is what it means to be a great photographer know your client know what they can tolerate and get as much as you can and the result is phenomenal if you have ever had the opportunity to work with Amanda you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't I highly recommend that you do I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Working with Amanda was amazing. She was kind, friendly, knowledgeable about poses and what would look good, and FUN! My photos turned out amazing. The turn around time was quick and I’m so in love with the pictures I can’t say enough about them. I will definitely work with her again. 10/10 do recommend!!!"
