Angie Hebel, Parent

"Amber put everyone at ease and was extremely effective in directing subjects on posture and facing in order to capture the best possible photos! "

Jessica Riggs, LifeArt Dance

"Amber is incredibly professional, easy to work with, and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. As a dancer, she is incredible at capturing action shots and the photos come out high quality for all of our marketing needs."

Kaitlyn McMorran, Rocky Mountain Rhythm

"this is so many more options than I expected and they came out so well. I also was reflecting on how comfortable you made me feel during the shoot and how helpful you were in guiding me through the process, especially as someone with almost zero experience being in front of the camera. I felt so at ease through it and I appreciate that so much."

Arrow Collins, Artist

"I appreciated her kind and chill attitude since I'm always nervous in front of a camera!"
