Meet Amy
Portrait, Nature and Sport Photographer
Teacher
Welcome! I have served as an elementary teacher in Macomb County Michigan for over 20 years. The organization, planning, trouble shooting, flexibility, communication and people skills I've acquired over the years in this profession are what have made this leap into serving clients in photography so seamless. So many of my elementary students are now seniors, and it's an honor to celebrate them through their portraits.
My family & I are sports and outdoor enthusiasts, embracing everything Michigan's four seasons has to offer - from boating and camping to hiking, skiing, and spontaneous adventures in between.
I've developed my natural eye for composition in our adventures and find peace in sweeping landscapes, backyard beauty and most importantly the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. Capturing a beautiful image through composition is like we're peeking into a little secret moment - like the moment wasn't staged, just found and the world slowed down for just a bit. Wouldn't that be nice?! I love composition and finding peace in small things. I value balance, trust and grounding moments.
Photographer
If you're here, I hope it's because you found my images and they brought you some joy. A single photograph can hold more healing and meaning than words ever could. I can't praise the healing power of a good photograph enough - whether it's an everyday snapshot or a professional image that marks a meaningful milestone. It would be an honor to deliver that meaningful experience for you.
What began as my love for capturing memories, grew into another professional craft. I find joy and purpose creating keepsakes for myself and clients - images I know that will be healing, held close, cherished and returned to again and again throughout our own life stories.
My approach is to just be honest and genuine in planning how I can connect with you and help you. I love sports and the arts and miss watching my own kids doing their thing - I'd love to capture yours! Talk about moments you'll forever remember! The ship has sailed on my basketball days, but those images with my friends and teammates are images I return to over and over again remembering what shaped me in my past. I love the outdoors and will always strive to incorporate nature elements and composition into your images - whether it's for Seniors, Families or Couples. It's what gives me the most peace and sense of accomplishment. If this sounds like your vibe - let's connect.
testimonial
Choosing a photographer to capture family memories and milestones is stressful because you want to be able to look back on these moments for many years to come. Amy was a complete professional from the beginning to the end. Her communication was exceptional throughout the whole process. She met with us and we discussed dates, locations, times, and our expectations for the session. She shared her expertise (do's and don'ts) for making the most of our session. Even though it started out with sprinkling rain on the day of the session, Amy was flexible and we were able to get in 3 full hours of beautiful poses at 2 different locations after the rain stopped. We can't thank her enough for capturing Brooke's personality and we are so happy with the photos. Our experience was 5 stars and we are looking forward to booking future sessions with Amy.
