About Amy

When life feels like a bad sitcom stuck in a triage episode, my camera brings me back to center. I fall in love with possibility and photography allows me to fall head over heels on repeat. Part of the attraction is the organic nature of the whole thing- an evolution with countless opportunities for growth. 

Most of my work is minimally edited. I like to get it right in the camera. I like the challenge- of capturing the moment, a fleeting feeling- or idea- and presenting it in its raw form. I also enjoy learning and experimenting with new editing techniques, so outcomes depend on where the image takes me.

I am a Midwestern transplant addicted to North Carolina weather. I graduated from Purdue University in 1999, and again in 2021 with a MS in Communication.  I have three children who are spirited and kind and fun. We moved here in 2007 and I still get homesick for the horizon and a (real)breaded pork tenderloin sandwich.  I love live music, the beach, a good adventure, extreme weather & books. My favorite sport is politics and I prefer my coffee black (but I certainly won't complain if you are buying).
