BEHIND THE LENS
Hey Friend!
I'm Amber, the face behind the camera. I'm a Virginia-based photographer specializing in weddings, portraits, and commercial photography. I'm also a proud mom, devoted wife, Jesus follower, and graphic designer. You’ll regularly catch me wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt while rocking a messy bun (and I don’t mean one of those cute ones), listening to Christmas music way too early, sipping on coffee, or chasing a toddler around outside.

FAQ
How do I book a session?
Fill out this inquiry form and I will get back to you with my availability. Once we set a date, I will email you a contract. A 50% retainer is due with the contract.
Can I download & share the photos?
Please do! You're welcome to download, print, and share the images as you please. If you decide to share them on social media, I'd greatly appreciate it if you tagged me. Feel free to print them wherever you prefer, and if you need suggestions for better quality printing, I'm here to help!
What time of day do you schedule outdoor sessions?
Preferably around sunset! I love to shoot around sunset time because the lighting is magical! But if you have a specific time in mind, just let me know, and we can work something out.
What if there is rain?
If inclement weather is expected during our session, we'll consider adjusting the time or rescheduling the session.
How do I choose a location for the session?
Don't stress about the location! I have plenty of options in the area that I can suggest. Or if you have a place in mind, I can scout it out and let you know if I think it's a good option. It's important to note that lighting is way more important than the backdrop.
Are you willing to travel?
Yes, I love new adventures! I've done sessions hiking to mountain tops and waterfalls, and they are EPIC! Please note that travel rates may apply for sessions outside the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area.
