This editorial portrait session in downtown Nashville absolutely fueled my creativity! We walked around to some of my favorite spots and paired each location with the style of his wardrobe options. I love the mix of looks we were able to get by doing this. I feel like it really captures several different sides of his personality instead of just a narrowed down aspect - which is always a goal for me with portrait sessions!
Read MoreThe inspiration for this creative session was simply all things yellow! Once we landed on yellow as a theme, we went on a hunt for all things yellow, brought them all up to a rooftop, played with the wind and golden sunshine, and had so much fun! Even though we are going into darker winter months, this shoot brought back all the fun and warmth of summer!

Read MoreWe all have so many stories within us that want so badly to be told. But sometimes, for whatever reason, it doesn’t feel safe to speak them. What feelings and experiences are you holding within you that need to be heard? That need to be witnessed? Or maybe you know they would bring some joy or laughter to others? Shared stories bring connection, even when we don’t know the person telling it. They can help us feel seen, understood, and not alone. A good funny story can bring a smile to someone’s face at just the right time they are desperately needing it. Hearing someone share an experience they may be struggling with too can give them hope that they can make it through too.
Read MoreI decided to go back to Amy this year for a boudoir shoot on my second anniversary of starting HRT and I had no idea how emotional the delivery of these images would be. When I saw the first photograph my heart soared! I was looking at me... For one of the first times in my life I saw ME. That "famous actress" I always dreamed of being. I was in tears! Thank you Amy for not just capturing the essence of me. Thank you for seeing me and understanding me. Thank you for caring about your clients and the strides you take to make these experiences the special soul-treats that they are.” -Kara
Read MoreI just adored working with Amber at her boudoir session! Her joyful nature was so wonderful to be around, and her attention and gentleness with herself was so wonderful to witness. I love the breadth and variety of energies she brought to her session! I also really like the combination of softness and empowerment that go hand in hand in her images. It’s a great reminder that softness and kindness are incredible strengths that truly do lead to empowerment!
Read More“During the shoot, Amy was very encouraging and kept reassuring me that I was gorgeous and the photos were beautiful. When she showed me the images during the reveal, I was shocked. I was like, “ Damn! who’s that girl?!?” She captured a beautiful me and not the sad, ashamed me who hides from the camera.” -Laura
Read MoreAs soon as I realized that women were seeing themselves in a much more confident and empowered light after a boudoir session, I was hooked. My heart sang and I knew this was a big purpose in my life’s path-and it still is! I’ll always offer boudoir sessions, and those are a great fit for so many folks! But…I knew there could be more to it. I knew I had more to give. My heart, mind, and feet told me to keep exploring, to find that extra bit of light to help others work through their shadows and find a healthier relationship to their bodies. To help foster acceptance, as well as radical love, for themselves. From here, my newest offering, self love sessions, were born!

When my good friend and go to makeup and hair artist Katie-Laine Thornton, and her assistant and beautiful friend Cat, planned a just for fun boudoir session at our new downtown Nashville studio space, I was so ready to incorporate some springtime blooms into the mix, while still keeping things moody, cause that’s my jam!
