The Portrait Experience
senior, maternity, & family
Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking us to document their growing families and now we just can't get enough!
We love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the car of their floor is covered in cereal, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful.
So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames your walls for years to come.
If you're looking for timeless photos that you will cherish forever, you're in the right place.

Amber is an incredibly talented and kind photographer! We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her for our wedding! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos and truly has an eye for the perfect picture spot! On our wedding day she was the best hype girl a bride could ask for and really made sure to make the most out of our time. She had a quick turn around with our preview photos and I am OBSESSED with them! Her photos are so light and natural. Amber was a joy to work with and I am SO EXCITED to get all of our wedding photos! I would 10000% recommend her!

I cannot recommend Amber enough (and I am a picky person). I was blown away at her skills!! Not only is her photography beautiful but Amber as a person is one of the kindest souls I have met. She is your number 1 hype-woman during your session and will make sure you feel beautiful in your pictures. I started using Amber for our wedding but she has slowly turned into our only photographer we are willing to use! From weddings to graduations to family, you cannot go wrong! Seriously…just book!!

We chose Amber as our wedding photographer because I loved the authenticity and editing style in her previous work. We absolutely made the right decision! Every single photo from our wedding, I absolutely LOVE! I wish I had enough wall space for all of the wedding photos I want framed! She captured our day so well! The pure bliss and joy you feel on wedding day as a bride, she was able to capture and reflect in our photos!

FAQ
No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule. Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date.
What do we do if it rains?
questions —
The sooner the better! My weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to me, the more likely you are to get your desired date!
To reserve your date, I'll need a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let me know!
How far in advance should we book?

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
I've put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family that I am happy to send you!
What should we wear?
questions —
Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, I take photos for a living and even I feel like a deer in the headlights when I'm in front of the camera.
You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and I coach you through images, I think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. As a mom myself, I am well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
We're awkward and our kids don't sit still.
questions —
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format.
