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.

Today is finally warm enough for me to sit out on the deck in shorts and now I have extreme spring fever. I want to go hiking and hang out at the beach and go on all the adventures ☀️💫🌿

Happy love day from Johnny and me! This photo was taken on my favorite day by @chriskphotos (this was the last time we had profesh photos done of us, hmmmm do you think we need new ones after 4 years??? 🤨)

We got to see this mural up close and personal while running around the arts district this past Sunday. What a treat! The parking lot is usually gated off and full of cars. A few years ago I sure didn’t realize that being a photographer would take me to so many neat spots, but I’m definitely digging this trend of finding new, beautiful, funky, unusual, striking places for photoshoots. Keep em coming!!

Today felt warm and it reminded me of this photo. I sure do love the cold and rain but nothing beats a sun-soaked late afternoon. Who’s excited for more sunnn☀️
