Meet Amy

The beach wasn't always my favorite. I avoided the sand, the seaweed, the salty air that made my hair look bad.

Photography changed all that. Now I think the beach is the BEST. While I happily photograph in other locations, I am such a fan of a session right where the land meets the sea. My favorite is at the Hotel del Coronado, where the flat shoreline enables me to make my signature “reflection shots.”

When I’m not cleaning the sand out of my car, I am trying to convince my husband that chocolate is the key to a healthy lifestyle, savoring the fleeting high school days with my daughter, or making my tween son practice piano. I oversee our family business (Sitterwise) and my husband and I work in our church’s online and multisite ministry. It’s a full life, and it’s a blessed life. I can’t wait to meet you and make some images to celebrate YOUR life!
