Hey there friend! My name is Amy - I'm a family photographer and published, award-winning photojournalist. Whether I'm photographing a family or on assignment for a publication, my work revolves around telling stories that you can feel with your heart. When I'm not clicking a shutter you can find me convincing my three kids to take a hike up a mountain with me!
"There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity
of the moment" - Robert Frank
Tell Your Story
Hello I'm Amy! (Amy Melissa). I capture authentic interactions between your loved ones. I am not a 'look at the camera and smile' photographer.
My goal is to always capture real, raw, honest interactions between people.
All you have to do is show up and enjoy each other. During our session you can plan on laughing, being silly, embracing each other and slowing down with one another. It's in this space that I'm really able to capture the magic that is love and connection.
Love Notes
"Amy managed to wrangle my kids and somehow capture beautiful pictures despite lots of wiggles and scrunchy cheese faces from my littlest. I love that she captures the heart of our family rather than just stiff staged photos... I would happily recommend her services to local friends"
ABIGAIL WU
"She is wonderful with kids! We loved her no-pressure vibe. The most impressive part about the whole thing was her artistic eye and her ability to capture the little moments."
JANELLE NEAL
"She will quickly put people at ease, has a true vision for lighting and is a down to earth person."
