Hey, hi, how are you? I’m Amelia—your caffeine-fueled, Spotify-jamming, true-crime-obsessed photographer who’s here to capture your biggest moments with all the good vibes! 👋 

Not to totally brag, but my clients tell me I’m like the friend they didn’t know they needed, and by the end of a session, it usually feels like we’ve known each other forever. I’m a mom of three, and I’ve been through the chaos of family life, so I get it—the beautiful, messy, joyful moments you want to remember forever. My approach? Real, timeless images for joyful people. I don’t just snap photos; I’m there to capture you, whether it’s the love on your wedding day, the playful chaos of a family session, or the amazing energy of a senior session.
