Amy is so amazing with our family! She takes the time to get to know our needs for our family. As a mom of a special needs son and neurotypical daughter, it takes a lot to navigate through a family photoshoot. Amy has truly invested in our family to support our needs and to ensure that we have the best family photoshoot possible. She will always be our best family photographer! You will absolutely love her personality and artistic style! read more

Update: Two days after our shoot, Amy messaged me for a preview of our photos. Beautiful! I also received a follow up email thanking us for our business and to expect the photos in about two weeks time. Just as promised within two weeks I received access to our gallery and options to select which package to purchase. The online portal was easy to use. Though I wish it was easier to re-review which pictures we selected as favorites for our digital download. The photos were so beautiful we opted for the Keepsake package just to have more photos. Overall, I am so glad to be able to have these beautiful moments that Amy captured for us and can't wait to be able to display them in my home. read more

Wonderful experience working with Amy! She was warm, supportive, and super communicative. We took photos on Dec 1 and got a sneak peek within a couple days. The photos are beautiful and really captured how happy we are to meet our baby girl. Thank you, Amy! read more

Amy took our family photos in November, 2024. I have two WILD children who never manage to look at a camera or pose, and Amy was incredibly fun and flexible for our family. She even gave my son a job of making sure the position for other members of the family were on point. Her including his thoughts made him feel less stress and he had a great time playing art director. Thank you, Amy, for our amazing beach photos! read more

We did an extended family shoot at the beach with Amy and it was AMAZING. It involved 13 family members, including children! Amy was quick to respond with any questions I had and she has a wealth of information when it comes to beach family photos. She pays attention to detail. When the day came to take photos, she had already scouted out the best area for the shoot. She made the kids laugh and helped direct the shoot so that it all ran smoothly. At the beach, it was super windy. I was so nervous because everyone's hair looked crazy. I wasn't sure how the photos would turn out. In less than 2 weeks, we previewed the photos and they were phenomenal. The most beautiful photos of all the family members. So many great shots of then group, individual family and even solo pics. Highly recommend! read more

The whole experience with Amy was super comfortable and easy. It only took 20 minutes, which is the most my kids (or husband, let's be real ) will tolerate. I was scared we wouldn't get any good photos because we aren't used to having pictures taken other than our wedding, but we got a lot of great ones! I really wish we had done our photos earlier so we had good pictures with our kids when they were littler. We will definitely be using Amy again to do our family photos! read more

We were traveling to OC over Thanksgiving and reached out to Amy to capture some family pictures with the intent for holiday cards. She was extremely professional and organized leading up to the shoot. During the shoot she was fun and agile, and was a tremendous help with our baby who wasn't happy about missing a nap. We were worried we didn't get any without baby crying, and she quickly sent proofs of a few that would work, and was also willing and flexible if we needed to do a re-do. Her work is beautiful and we were able to get family images we'll cherish forever! read more

Highly recommend Amy! We booked her for our maternity and newborn photos - she was amazing both times! My daughter is super shy and takes a while to warm up to others... I was worried our first session (maternity) wouldn't go too great. Amy had so much patience and was phenomenal with our daughter - my family photo fears instantly went away. She made our photo session feel like such a breeze; I knew I just had to book her for our newborn photos as well. I will definitely be booking her again in the future. She is amazing at what she does and such a gem! Thanks Amy for capturing amazing photos of my family and I. read more

Amy is wonderful, kind, patient, and professional. I have a daughter on the autism spectrum and it's wonderful to have a photographer who doesn't mind some wiggles. I have so few photos of her looking at a camera, but somehow Amy gets them every time! She has captured my little ones from infancy, toddlerhood, through preschool and my children's true smiles and selves over the years. I am so thankful we found her, as I find her work to be exceptional and her prices very reasonable (especially the mini sessions). Each year we've done different locations, from the Newport pier to the wetlands in Costa Mesa, to a lovely field in San Juan Capistrano. She gives specific advice about clothing, preparation, etc. and I could not recommend her enough if you have a child with special needs or just want a beautiful family photo. read more

I couldn't say enough amazing things about Amy! I've been working with her for nearly 3 years now starting when i was pregnant with my son.

I've worked with several photographers in the past but always trust Amy to capture the moment perfectly. Just finished up our shoot today and SO excited to see the results, as always :) read more

I knew I wanted a professional to capture photos of my first baby while in the hospital. I searched for Birth Photography first, then I discovered the concept of the "Fresh 48" session! Photographers need to be flexible of course, because we never know exactly when baby will arrive :) I am thankful I found Amy as my birth didn't exactly go as planned and I had to keep changing our photo session date. Amy communicated well with me and we were able to squeeze in our Fresh 48 session the morning baby and I were sent home. Prior to meeting her she was always responsive in emails and the photos turned out great! I am so glad we decided to set up the session with her and I will always treasure these photos! read more

I highly recommend Amy to anybody celebrating a big event that wants high quality candid photos to remember it by. We are super grateful for all her help in capturing our amazing moments. read more

Amy from Amy Captures Love was our photographer for engagement shoot and wedding. My wife and I both loved Amy's bright and natural style. Amy is professional and very experienced. During our engagement shoot she made us both feel comfortable and was able to clearly guide us through the different poses and photographs. Amy was a pleasure to work with and was very detailed for our wedding. She helped us to create a photography plan including family photos, bridal party and bride and groom photos. My wife's extended family is quite large, but Amy was able to accommodate all of our picture requests on the day of the wedding! Amy helped us to enjoy our wedding day and made both my wife and I feel comfortable through the different photo shoots. I would definitely recommend Amy for anyone looking for an excellent photographer! read more

My family recently did a mini shoot with Amy in November. Typically, with family photo shoots, since we have two young boys who don't ever stand still, I'm ecstatic if there are five decent pics to choose from for our holiday card. With our photo shoot with Amy, I would say there are a solid fifteen pictures I'm planning to print~! I was truly surprised at how many great shots she got, especially considering how painless and easy the whole shoot was. I highly recommend her! read more
