Amy is the perfect combination of professional, relaxed, and creative! She makes every environment she’s working with so comfortable and natural…she is so approachable and relaxed, so we never felt posed or awkward, and she captured exactly what my husband and I were feeling in the moment. Amy will always be my number one referral.

I wanted to take a moment to show off this killer shot by my second shooter. If you don’t already know, my second shooter is...my husband John!! And no I didn’t drag him into this 😂 when we first met in college we bonded over a love for photography and art- the first night we ever hung out, we edited photos together until like 3am (and for all you creeps out there no that’s not a euphemism) 😂😂😂
