What I Do
My lifestyle portrait sessions are all about capturing life as it truly is — natural, real, and documentary in style. They might be you with your newborn babe in your arms, your family on a beach vacation before the kids head off to college, or you settling into a new home and season of life. They could even be you stepping confidently into your role as a boss babe, coffee cup in hand, ready to show the world what you’re made of.
You’ll receive more photos than you can possibly fit on your walls, all fully edited and delivered in a beautiful online gallery. From there, you can download and print to your heart’s content. No hidden fees, no photo hoarding — just your images, entirely yours, the way your moments should be.
What does a session look like?
Simply put:
Us: Hanging out in a field, park, beach, restaurant, hotel, or even your home — wherever feels right for the photos you’ve been dreaming of.
You: Dressed a little extra special, maybe after trying on 600 outfits (and possibly skipping the hairbrush, no judgment!). On session day, all you really need to do is smile, relax, and be yourself.
Me: Snapping away the whole time while we walk and talk, sprinkling in some corny jokes and probably breaking out my high-pitched “mom voice” to get kids (or dogs) to look my way.
Us: Creating a gallery of genuine, joy-filled images you’ll be glad we made together.
You're in the right place.
How I Do It
hello there.
I’m Amy,
YOUR artist behind the lens
While I love a good late night paint sesh, I also love capturing the glorious world with my camera, capturing memories for you.
I'm a mom of 5, artist, photographer, lover of brunch and curling my hands around a frosty glass of iced coffee (make it black please!). I moved from the maple syrups of New England to the palm trees of Florida after 12 years of running a photography company with my sister in the evergreens. Now I'm doing it from the beaches and I love it just as much, although I miss her tons.

Ways to Work Together
The Professionals Session
Headshots, branding photos, etc
-A phone call to discuss your vision, one hour in front of my lens to capture it.
Leave the blue background behind and show off your personality and vibe.
The Family Session
An hour* of chatting, laughing, making memories, twirling in the grass and catching sunset with your favorite people.
HOW IT WORKS
The Professionals
You know your brand, your product, and yourself better than anyone — but translating that vision into photos can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in. Share your inspiration, your ideas, or even just a jumble of thoughts, and together we’ll shape them into a clear story. From location to wardrobe to posing, I’ll help craft images that highlight your personality and elevate your brand. And if you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry — guiding you through the process is part of what I do best.
The Families
Family sessions hold a special place in my heart. Over the last 12 years, my own family has changed in more ways than I could have ever imagined, and I often find myself wishing I had every single moment on film. While I can’t rewind time, I can flip through the photographs I do have — and those images instantly take me back. That’s the gift I want to give you too. There’s no better time than now to capture the moments in between: the smiles, the laughter, the messy hair days, the house you live in, and even the chaos that makes it yours. One day, those little things will be gone — but with photographs, you’ll always be able to look back and smile at the beauty of it all.
I'm kinda like your chatGPT of Photography

Kind words
real results
I just needed one new headshot - or so I thought.
After Amy and I discussed my brand I realized there is so much more than just a white background. So so thankful to have gotten on the phone and discussed what it means to sell my brand, and to photograph myself as a part of it. My website is so much more vibrant now with a variety of photos showcasing my products AND me- the person behind them!

I can help you visualize your story
Life shifts quickly — kids grow, homes change, careers evolve — and those seasons deserve to be remembered. That’s why having the right photographer isn’t just important, it’s essential. From family milestones to lifestyle portraits to branding headshots, my goal is to create images that feel natural, genuine, and true to your story.Because whether you’re capturing the people you love most or the business you’ve worked so hard to build, these photographs will let you look back and remember exactly who you were in this moment.
