About

There’s room here to be yourself.

An EXPERIENCE that feels easy.
Images that feel like YOU.

Most people step in front of a camera hoping they’ll look good, but quietly worrying they won’t feel like themselves.

That’s where I come in.

I work with people who want images that feel real, not stiff, not overdone.

When you feel comfortable, everything changes.
Your expression softens.
Your body settles.
And the photos start to look like you.

And if feeling comfortable doesn’t come naturally, that’s okay. I’ll quietly cue you through it, enough that it feels real, and looks effortless.

Hello there.
I'm Amber.

I’ve spent years working with people who tell me the same thing before we start:
“I’m not great in front of the camera.”

I get it. Being photographed can feel vulnerable, even when you’re excited about the end result. That’s why I pay close attention to the people I’m working with, how they’re feeling, what they need, and how to help them settle in their own way.

Sometimes that means matching your energy, sometimes slowing things down, and knowing when to step in or step back.

I meet you where you are and guide you in a way that feels genuine, that’s when everything comes together.

Working together isn’t about having everything figured out before you arrive. Most people don’t, and that’s completely okay.

I take what you share in your questionnaire, what you’ve brought with you, and the energy you walk in with, and use that to guide the session as it unfolds.

I’ll guide you gently, keep things moving, and adjust as we go, so you can relax, connect, and trust that you’re in good hands.

How it feels to work with me

"I wanted someone who would make it easy for me. I didn’t want to come up with ideas, poses, or locations — and Amber took care of all of that. The session felt relaxed, fun, and so much easier than I expected."

I’m comfortable taking the LEAD, so you don’t have to.

Most people don’t walk into a session feeling natural or confident.

That’s normal. Especially in the first few minutes.

I give clear direction from the start so nothing feels awkward or uncertain.

You don’t have to guess what to do. I’ll guide you.

As the session unfolds, something shifts. You settle in. You start to trust the process. The posing gets easier. The expressions get more natural. By the end, most people are surprised by how comfortable they feel, and how much fun they’re having.

By the end, it doesn’t feel forced.
It feels like you.

Big groups don’t faze me.
Wiggly kids don’t derail things.
Reluctant seniors are one of my favorite challenges.

I pay close attention to what you bring into the space and adapt as we go.

Sometimes that means energy and encouragement.
Sometimes it means slowing things down.

When people leave a session with me, I want them to feel
Confident. Happy. And glad they showed up just as they are.

You’re in the right place.

If you want an experience that feels thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely human, and images that reflect who you are without forcing it, you’re exactly where you should be.
