Testimonials
We hired Amy Gray to shoot a family birthday at the Hotel del Coronado, and we are so glad we did. She's fast, funny and good with people of all ages. Even our reluctant in-laws ended up having a great time running around the beach at sunset. Definitely recommend.

Amy has photographed my family several times and I can't say enough good things about her. She's an AMAZING photographer, but beyond that she has an incredible heart and passion behind everything she does. Amy has always been great with my kids and I have her images hanging all over my house. If you're looking for a highly talented photographer who is easy to work with, you should definitely pick Amy.

I have been dealing with a low level, happy sob all night looking at these pictures…you captured some amazing photos! Thanks so very much. After my divorce, I wasn’t sure I would ever find happiness again. When I found C and her children, I had a glimmer of hope. You showed me clearly and completely that my happiness is true and complete!

As a photographer, you are constantly learning new things and seeking great mentors and/or fellow photographers to rub shoulders with. Amy let me tag along with her during an engagement session, and she was so inspiring!! Super fun to be around and knows what she is doing! I don't even need to mention that her work is fabulous! Thanks for letting me "see" things through your eyes, Amy!

We hired Amy Gray to do our first ever professional family portrait session on a recent vacation to San Diego - coming from Canada. As a shutterbug myself, I was very particular about who we would hire and boy, did she deliver! We had fun at the shoot and even with the abounding energy of my three young boys at beautiful Coronado Beach, she managed to capture them and us in all the range

We love Amy! She has done our family photos for the last two years, and we fly out from the East Coast to use her! She is wonderful with the kids and really knows how to capture the personalities in the photos. She is flexible, proactive, and responsive. I highly recommend Amy - you won't be disappointed.

I CANNOT say enough good things about Amy Gray! I called her at the last minute before our trip to San Diego, and she worked hard to fit us into her schedule. She always responded promptly to my emails and was so efficient and organized. As for the photo shoot itself -- She has the patience of Job! There were seven of us including a crying infant and a very uncooperative toddler. She managed
