Welcome to My Multiverse of Ideas, Experiments, and Big Energy
Discover how I mix creativity and strategy the same way I used to make the perfect mixtape — intentional, a little nostalgic, and built to hit the right vibe.
Whether I’m writing, consulting, or creating media, my goal is to create, grow, evolve, and stand out in a world that moves way faster than dial‑up ever did.
Meet Amanda
Hi, I’m Amanda – a Gen X creator, published writer, photographer, and sustainability advocate. I build brands, tell stories, and create media that connects. Across my ventures, my mission stays the same: to help people live better, create boldly, and make meaningful choices.
My Creative Universe, Where All My Lanes Come Together
I’ve worn a lot of creative hats over the years — and instead of pretending I’m supposed to “pick a lane,” I built a place where all my lanes can coexist without bumping into each other like it’s 1994 and we’re fighting over the aux cord.
From media and photography to art, publishing, consulting, and sustainable living, this is the hub where all my passions live under one roof.
Think of it as the grown‑up, more organized version of that Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper we carried around in middle school — tabs, labels, and all.

Photography, Luxury Media, UGC [User Generated Content], and Art
At Just Be Photography, I love to create portraits and places that you can feel. My approach is simple: I blend artistry with authenticity to capture people and places as they truly are — expressive and beautiful. Whether it’s a milestone, family session, or a “just because”, I focus on connection and comfort in addition to composition.
Be Creative is a luxury media company dedicated to producing high‑quality visuals that elevate every space, product, and story. From real estate and rental showcases to brand, travel, and product media, I create polished, scroll‑stopping content that blends artistry with strategy. My work is designed to help properties stand out, brands connect more deeply, and products shine in their best light. Whether it’s a cinematic walkthrough, a lifestyle‑driven UGC campaign, or a refined product feature, I craft media that feels intentional, elevated, and built to convert.

Bring a little art, a little attitude, and a lot of personality to your walls with my portrait and photo art prints.
Short-Term Vacation Rental Optimization, Boutique Stays, & Guest Experience Consulting
With Revenue Rise, I help short‑term rentals, boutique stays, and resorts elevate their guest experience through strategic optimization, intentional design, and premium visual storytelling. My consulting blends data‑driven insight with real‑world hospitality expertise, giving property owners the tools to increase bookings, boost reviews, and create memorable stays that feel effortless for guests. Alongside operational refinement, I also offer high‑quality photography and cinematic video content that showcases each property at its best — helping to stand out in a crowded market and attract travelers who value comfort, style, and a touch of luxury.
Writing, Publications, and Digital Resources
Otis Publishing is where I bring stories to life — my own and those of writers who are ready to share their voice with the world. I self‑publish heartfelt, purpose‑driven work and offer practical tips, tools, and guidance to help others navigate the writing and publishing process with confidence. Whether you’re crafting a personal narrative, a resource‑rich guide, or the story you’ve carried for years, I’m here to help you shape it, refine it, and bring it into the world with clarity and intention.
My Etsy digital shop, Otis Design Boutique, is a curated hub of ebooks, checklists, and practical tools designed to support writers, entrepreneurs, photographers, short‑term rental owners, real estate and rental professionals, and UGC creators. Every resource is crafted to simplify your workflow, spark new ideas, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re building a brand, refining your craft, or leveling up your business systems, you’ll find digital products that make the process smoother, smarter, and a lot more enjoyable.
My Amazon Author page is the home for the stories I write — a collection of heartfelt, practical, and purpose‑driven work shaped by real experiences and a deep belief in the power of knowledge and lifelong learning. It’s where I share the lessons, insights, and lived moments that have shaped my journey, along with resources designed to help others grow through their own. Whether I’m writing to inform, encourage, or spark curiosity, my goal is to create books that empower readers to learn something new, see their world differently, and feel inspired to keep writing their own story forward.
Other Blogs
Au Naturale is my space for exploring cleaner, greener living through honest conversations about the products we use and the ingredients hiding inside them. I break down toxic chemicals, misleading labels, and everyday exposures in a way that’s practical, approachable, and rooted in real‑life experience. Alongside ingredient deep‑dives, I share simple swaps, sustainable habits, and mindful lifestyle tips that make natural living feel doable, not overwhelming. Au Naturale is all about empowering you to make informed choices, protect your health, and create a home and life that feels lighter, cleaner, and more intentional.
Tattooed and Barefoot is my laid‑back corner of the internet where I chat about art, tattoos, and all the wonderfully weird things that come with decorating your skin. I dig into tattoo history, traditions, design ideas, aftercare tips, and the whole world of body art with the same energy we once used to make mix tapes for our friends. It’s part personal experience, part education, and part storytelling, all wrapped in a vibe that celebrates body confidence at every stage.
