I booked Amber for my cousin’s bachelorette party and the task given was capturing the essence of my cousin’s excitement as a bride and the fun girl’s trip in NOLA. The photoshoot was so much fun and much more than I expected. Amber suggested some great locations that matched the aesthetic I wanted. She took great shots and made it so much fun for my cousin. As we walked through the park in the French Quarters, we passed a band, gave them a sizable donation so we could all dance while Amber captured that moment. While we genuinely had a great time, of course we faked some candids lol, but they all came out naturally. Amber was a pleasure to work with, communication was seamless as she was responsive and clear, she was on time and flexible when we got lost headed to our first location. I’d work with her again if I ever return to NOLA.
Details: Bridal portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • High fashion (highlights style) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

I just want to say that Amber killed it. She captured exactly what I asked her to, and then some. She photographed things I would have forgotten about, but I'm so very happy to have had documented. She's relaxed, and her ease made me feel comfortable having my picture taken. She was everywhere, and yet virtually invisible. I was amazed at all of the photos - I don't even remember seeing her for most of them!
Her spirit is fantastic and it comes through in how she photographs. Plus, she's super cool and a lot of fun to work with. I'm absolutely thrilled I found her for our wedding!

Amber was the best! We traveled down from Chicago to NOLA for an elopement. She was very flexible and patient in having us finalize the time and place only a few days before! Having never been to that area she was great at making suggestions on where in the park would be good to have the elopement. We are very thankful for that! She even brought colorful props to use if we wanted. Her photos turned out beautifully! We love them. I defiantly recommend Amber! Thank you so much!!

Amber showed up on time, and got all the shots we wanted. She was available on a very short notice as well which helped us out a lot. I was a very stressed bride and she kept it rolling with the pictures and they still turned out great.

Amber was amazing from the first time I spoke with her. She was on time and fun. I have some of the most beautiful memories from my wedding reception because of her photos. She was able to capture “in the moment” pictures that were so genuine and real. Some of the photos I had no idea she was even standing that close to me. I will hire Amber for every important event in my life for now on. Mona & Chris Dunn
