Amy was a joy to work with. Her style is very friendly and helps each of her subjects pose so nothing about working with her is uncomfortable--she totally puts each of her subjects at ease! We loved working with her! We are so happy with each and every photo she took of us at the beach! We are busy now ordering and changing and updating photos in our home. Amy also takes lots of photos so you have a great pile of choices to select from. I encourage everyone to hire Amy! Especially families like ours who want to make memories---especially at the beach. You will not regret one moment that you took the time and money have her to do this for you and your loved ones. She makes beautiful memories to last a lifetime in a very artsy unique way of her vision of what she sees as the picture perfect shot!

SHE NAILED IT for our family!

Amy did a fabulous job with our family pictures in Folly. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully but the whole experience was a lot of fun. She kept everyone energized including a young toddler which made the pictures even better. Her communication with us was very detailed and thorough and there were no unexpected surprises. Highly recommend Amy if you are looking for a photographer.

Amy Stevens is a PHENOMENAL photographer. She has a gift for picking the perfect location and the best camera angles. She has photographed all 3 of my kids for their high school senior photos. In addition I was lucky enough to be her ‘model’ for a photography class she was taking. It was such a fun experience! Schedule a photo shoot, you won’t regret it!
