A Brand Rooted in Heart, Home, and Handmade Goodness

Working with clients like Amanda Vos is why I love what I do.

Amanda is the owner of Sweet Home Vanilla, a charming, community-focused business that blends the comfort of homemade goods with a passion for real, quality ingredients. From her hand-poured candles to her beloved vanilla extract kits, Amanda pours her heart into everything she creates and I’ve had the honor of documenting that journey from the very beginning.

From Bride to Business Owner

Amanda is actually one of my former brides! I photographed her and her husband’s wedding back in 2020, and since then, I’ve had the absolute joy of continuing to walk alongside her, not just through life milestones, but in her business growth as well.

Since launching Sweet Home Vanilla, Amanda has trusted me for two full branding sessions. The first when she was just beginning, focusing on her products and her brand’s roots, and the second when she reached a major milestone: opening her very own storefront.

A Brand Session That Grows With You

One of the best things about branding photography is that it grows with you. Our first session captured Amanda’s early product line, soft visuals that reflected her cozy, handmade aesthetic. By the time her store opened, our second shoot focused on the space itself, showcasing the warmth of her shop, the curated kitchen goods, and the collaborative vibe she’s created by featuring other small makers.

Amanda’s branding isn’t just about beautiful photos, it’s about telling the story of a woman who values simplicity, real ingredients, and the comfort of home. That story deserves to be told over and over again, in each new season of her business.

Handmade, Heartfelt Products That Feel Like Home

Sweet Home Vanilla is more than a shop— it’s a reflection of Amanda’s passion for thoughtfully made goods that bring warmth to everyday life. In her store, you’ll find:

• Signature vanilla extract kits, perfect for gifting or baking with real ingredients
• Hand-poured candles in cozy, seasonal scents
• Home and kitchen goods, like aprons, mugs, and utensils with a modern farmhouse feel
• Locally made products from other small business owners she proudly features on her shelves

Everything Amanda offers ties back to the idea of slowing down, gathering together, and celebrating life’s simple moments. Whether you’re shopping for your own home or gifting something special, Sweet Home Vanilla makes it feel personal.

Why Amanda’s Brand Resonates

What makes Amanda (and Sweet Home Vanilla) so special is how genuine she is. She’s soft spoken, warm-hearted, and deeply passionate about creating things that feel like home. From her handcrafted candles to her thoughtfully chosen home goods, everything she does is rooted in intention and community.

She’s not just building a brand, she’s building a space that celebrates makers, uplifts local businesses, and brings people together over cozy, everyday moments. And as a brand photographer, it’s a dream to capture that kind of heart.
