Client Testimonials
Working with Andrews Artistry was such a lovely experience! We hired them as our photographer for our annual dance recital and from initial communication to final product, it was easy and enjoyable. They were professional, respectful and in high spirits the whole day. They interacted with our students with such kindness, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final pictures of our dancers were stunning! Amber’s background in dance shows a clear understanding of the body and how to work with students to bring out their most confident selves. I highly recommend Ambers Artistry for your next photography needs!
Alberta Shulman, Director at Airborne Dance
Amber is so darn talented. Used her for many things, and I continue to become more and more impressed. Professional, promt, kind, direct – I could go on and on. All the things you want when working with someone. There’s nothing them and their team can’t do.
