Let us take a time out from the stressful and busy everyday life to create magical emotion-filled moments of play with your children.
I know in the rush of it all you want to remember that beautifully imperfect baby bump, or those little toes, the way they light up when they see you, those chubby cheeks, that little smile ... but you sometimes feel too vulnerable to get in front of the camera.
I see you, I got you, let me take care of it all and make you feel loved, cherished, and beautiful.
I see you mama... Let's tell your story of strength, laughter, and resilience.
Nothing means more to me than documenting those precious little moments. The moment your partner looks at you with admiration, when your baby squeezes daddy's thumb, or when you are lovingly rubbing your baby bump dreaming of staring into your baby's beautiful eyes. As a mama and a wife myself, I know how important these moments are and I would be honored to document them for you in a way that gets them into your hands and off the hard drive.
When my clients message me that these are the moments they want to hang on the wall, or make an album that their future grandchildren will lovingly thumb through, it makes my heart sing with joy because it's truly my passion and purpose.

Crystal Brandt
I would love to get to know you! After years of experience with kiddos and couples, I have come to find the session goes so smoothly and is so much fun when I get to know my clients and their kiddos before the session! That is why I send you a detailed questionnaire to get to know all about your personalities and interests before our date! We also will do a zoom call to answer any questions and plan your session!
What happens next
Once your date is reserved, we will have a zoom call to start chatting about locations and vision for your session. If you have a beautiful place in mind I just have to know in advance so I can check it for lighting since you know I love to display that gorgeous light! Also, I need to have an idea of the light, crowds, closing time, etc! I have access to many amazing locations and will be able to recommend a spot based on your preferences!
LOCATION
Wardrobe is key to the success of your photo shoot! In order to achieve my light and airy style, the clothing that you select has a huge impact on the way I shoot and edit. To help with this process, I have a detailed, complimentary Style Guide that will help you to coordinate your wardrobe. Finally, I would be happy to host a one-on-one style consultation through a Zoom call. I'm here for you throughout the whole process!

TESTIMONIALS
"I've been admiring Amber's work for years now and I couldn't wait until she took our family photos, especially with how quickly kids grow up. Seeing our family photos in the album she designed for us blew me away. Her photos are STUNNING! I'm always saying to my husband that there aren't any good pictures of me with our children. I am so grateful that Amber was able to make it a reality by capturing pictures that I love. She was able to tell our story beautifully through her photos.

"Working with Amber exceeds my expectations time and time again. From location and pre-shoot planning to post-shoot photo gallery-reveal, she is a consummate professional. Amber captures our family's personalities perfectly, including a newborn and temperamental toddler, and even manages to capture fabulous shots of all four of us together. She makes each and every shoot fun and enjoyable and gets the best out of everyone. My husband and I will treasure our photos forever as beautiful memories captured in time."

"I couldn’t say enough good things about Amber! She not only made me feel so comfortable!! Also my two year old had just woken up from a nap, and was SUPER cranky, but Amber got her to warm up quickly and she directed so well and calmly, but also had us just have fun and play around! Our gallery is more than I could have imagined."

"Before I had the photoshoot, Amber and I jumped on a call to discuss our creative ideas and we decided together what the outfit should be and where to shoot. The day of the shoot, Amber arrived hours earlier to scout out the locations around the garden so that we didn’t waste time looking around."

"One day I found the LLP page on social media and couldn’t believe my eyes, the pictures were so beautiful that they seemed unreal. Even though Amber was located in the Bay area and I in Southern California, I started to plan a photoshoot with her after 2 years of wanting to be photographed by her."
