Real Life. Beautifully and Simply Captured.
Ready to Book Your
Photo Session?
Capture Life As It Is
The years are fleeting, and life won’t look like this again.
That’s exactly why simple matters. No stiff poses, no stress, no guessing what to do with your hands, – giggling and active children welcome!
I guide you through every session with easy prompts and natural movement, so what you get back are photos that actually feel like you and your family, just beautifully captured.

A quick & painless
approach to family photos
As a mom myself, I get it. Getting family photos done can feel like herding cats, kids have short attention spans, and half of us don’t know what to do with our hands when a camera shows up. That’s why I keep most shoots to 20-minutes and photograph while kids and families move about. I prefer movement and natural poses to something more formal. The result? Photos that actually look like your family, not a stock photo version of them.
Your kids won’t be this age forever, and you deserve to have proof of it. Proof of the chaos, the giggles, the elusive teenage smile. Life is moving fast, but it doesn’t have to feel rushed or stressful to capture it. That’s what I’m here for, to make it simple, so you can just be present and let me handle the rest.
Keep an eye out for our mini sessions each fall!
“Amy was amazing to work with for our family photos! She totally understands the family dynamic and kept it quick and painless, never awkward at all. We were so happy with all the photos and look forward to using her again in the future! “
— Angela, Niwot
About Me
I’ve been photographing families for 10 years, and absolutely love it. My love for photography began in my early 20s when I took a film photography class in college. As a creative, composition and the art of the perfect photograph continues to draw me in.
I began doing family shoots each fall for friends, and slowly expanded to neighbors and referrals. As a mom, I know how expensive and stressful family shoots can be – especially with little ones! So I have kept my costs low and sessions short.
I’m fairly simplistic in how I shoot – one camera, and one or two lenses, plus an active shutter! I think the best way to capture the perfect shot of kids is by taking a massive amount of photos… and when I manage to capture the authentic smiles of little ones (or the angsty teen), it feels like a huge accomplishment! I love capturing families and friends in photos the way that I see them in real life.
I’m also a graphic designer and owner of the stationery company NutsBoltsPaper.com, where helping families write their story one memory book and one photo at a time is what we do. If you need ideas on how to preserve memories while your kids are still young and beyond, then head on over and take a look!
