Hi, I'm Amy!
My journey in photography began in high school with a love of dogs! Imagine a young, bright eyed dog trainer who got herself a puppy and a whole lot of goals for them to accomplish as a team. Of course this driven young lady wanted to document every step of the way! So I got a puppy, a camera, and editing software and we were off to the races!
For years after that I devoted my life to beautifully photographing not just my dog and our adventures, but my friends, their pets, sporting events, my family, and anything else that I found lively and wonderful! I was fortunate to live in such a beautiful place (San Diego, CA) that offered up new inspiration and photography opportunities daily.
It wasn't long before my personal instagram where I shared my work would be noticed. This got me my first job as a business content creator which gave me the confidence to take on more clients! Shortly after this I moved to Colorado Springs, CO, which offered me a wide variety of new, unique photography opportunities! Since moving and offering photography and content creation as a service, my range of skill has grown immensely. I'm grateful to be taking the skill gained in Colorado and putting it to use in my current home base and the area where I originally fell in love with photography; sunny San Diego, California!
I feel blessed to have a career that allows me to do what I love every single day, even while traveling. I'm so very thankful for every unique story I've had the opportunity to help tell. I'm excited for the new experiences each client has to offer!
