FOR MUNDANE MOMENTS WORTH REMEMBERING
MEET AMBER
Photography found me later in life. After high school, I bounced around California and Hawaii, mostly working in retail management. Eventually, I circled back to the Pacific Northwest — my true home — where I now serve as a Seattle wedding photographer and Pacific Northwest family photographer. I’ve always been a skincare junkie (if you’ve never had a facial, seriously, book one now). I even went to esthetician school, thinking that was my path.
Then life happened. I fell in love, got married, and had two beautiful baby girls who are my world. But somewhere in motherhood, I lost a bit of myself. I was a stay-at-home mom, unsure how to find my way back.
That’s when my sister-in-law pulled me into photography — she needed a second shooter, but really just wanted someone to hang out with. I fumbled through that first wedding in Seattle, then the next, and the next. I thought I couldn’t be a photographer; she was already one, and what would people think? But secretly, I was falling in love with documenting real moments and honest connection. She pushed me off the ledge and told me to dive in.

Keepsakes
MY WHY
I truly believe there is no such thing as too many pictures — especially as a Seattle and Pacific Northwest photographer, I’ve seen how photographs quietly preserve the moments that define our lives. It may sound like a cliché, something every photographer says, but it is because it is so deeply true. Photographs are often all we have left to hold onto. They hang on our walls, quietly telling our stories to everyone who visits. They become the stories we share with our children, who then pass them on to their children. These images are more than just pictures. They are memories you can hold in your hand, moments frozen in time that keep love and life alive long after the day has passed.
