"I’m a proud Texan through and through! After high school, I spent 12 years working in hospital administration before deciding to stay home with my two wild and crazy boys. Watching them grow has been such a joy. But as they’ve gotten older, I started feeling that pull to dive back into something I loved back in high school—art. Growing up, I spent a lot of time watching my mom and grandpa capture memories through photography, and I’ve always had a special place in my heart for those photos. In 2020 (what a wild year, right?!), I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a camera. I forced myself to figure it out, and started getting my name out there by taking family ‘Porchraits’ for my neighbors during the pandemic. Then, during the great 'Snowpocalypse' of 2021, I offered more free sessions to my neighbors, which led to a handful of paid clients including my first wedding. Since then, things have just snowballed, and here I am doing what I love."

Thank you so much Amy! You truly are amazing at
capturing all of my favorite moments-my proposal, my son's reactions, my family smiling... it's all just heaven-sent! You made it happen exactly how I pictured it in my dreams as a little girl, and I'm forever grateful!

Amy has been our family photographer this year. She is amazing. She captures our individuality with our sessions. It is always a treat to do a session with Amy because she makes you feel comfortable and special. I always know we are getting a portrait that is meant just for us.

First of all, let's start out with my kids are hard to shoot. They have a lot of energy and sitting still is not a thing. Thankfully Amy is a miracle worker and was able to snap beautiful smiles of them and even a family photo. she was a joy to work with and i would highly recommend her.
