When the Beach Village Concierge at the Del referred us to Amy, and I looked at her portfolio. What…read morecaught my eye and initially impressed me was her unique use of natural light...I especially loved the photos she takes with the human reflections in the water. Our photo session was created to honor an incredible milestone - my Mom's 80th birthday. After my parents flew in from Dallas, we surprised her with an entire weekend of celebrations. Having these precious moments professionally captured was the perfect finale to our special time together. The photographs preserve not just images, but the joy and love we shared during this once-in-a-lifetime celebration, ensuring these cherished memories will live on for generations to come. When planning this family photo session, I had a vision for photos that would serve dual purposes - a Christmas card for our big family, but also a Christmas card for my Brother, Sis in Law and Luke and Rowan (my nephews). It was a "Gift to the entire family" as I saw it. I also envisioned my parents and family members turning the photos into a "statement piece" for our home (or my parents). The first thing that struck me with Amy was how easy it was to talk to her and how empathetic and personable she is. Additionally, Amy asks copious questions prior to the shoot...And these are VERY DETAILED questions. They ask things such as "What is your (childs) favorite color?" or "What gets them excited?" or "What are they into?" -- This all helps with the shoot and she comes prepared. Further, she asks questions about every family member. She asks every family member's name, relationship, "Gotchas", where they are from, etc. This shows and defines amy as showing genuine interest and empathy in her clients. It shows she cares. Implicitly. When she arrives, she calls everyone by name. She references familial relationships. She speaks with kindness. She is focused on keeping things moving and getting the best shot, but also very engaged in ensuring she connects with her audience. She makes sure everyone is being called by their name, that she captivates their attention, and is empathetic to someone in the group that might be having trouble. I highly recommend Amy for ANY shoot - she's a ROCKSTAR!!
