Hi, I’m Amanda and Little Tranquility is a place where I share bits and pieces of my life as a traveler, photographer, and toddler mom living on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

Five Random Facts:

  • I've been a vegetarian for over half my life. 🌱

  • I have a bachelor's degree in Linguistics and Cultural Studies.

  • Rilo Kiley is my all-time favorite band.

  • I hate bananas! 😝

  • My dream travel destination is Antarctica.

In my free time, I enjoy running, baking, brushing up on my Mandarin, and trying to pet every cat I see. 🐱

I’m a family and wedding photographer and founder of a toddler hiking group on the island called Tots on the Trail.

A little more about my blog…

I started blogging in 2011 when I moved from Wisconsin to Washington, DC. It was a fun way to share my photography and keep friends and family updated on my new life on the East Coast.

Fast forward to 2024, and I’m still at it! I did take a blogging break for a while before moving to Seattle in the summer of 2013. I eventually scrapped my old blog and started fresh with a brand new one (the one you’re reading right now) which is why you won’t see much about DC or that time in my life. 😉

My husband and I spent a few years in California (our daughter was born in Santa Cruz), but now we’re back in the Pacific Northwest and love our life here.

We live on a beautiful little island located only 35 minutes away from Seattle (via ferry). Little Tranquility has been a fun outlet to share our travels as a family of three and the many adventures we’ve had around Washington and the world.

It means so much to me that you’re here! Thank you for following along. ☺️

xo, Amanda
