“Amy goes above and beyond. I’ve done probably a dozen shoots with her now and I feel so comfortable.

Whether it’s a vibey shot or something bright, Amy nails it. I love putting together a Pinterest board with Amy and talking through the direction and props. Amy is a whiz with lighting. It’s insane.”

“Amy is truly your photographer for life. From family portraits to brand shoots for the business you’re launching, her work is timeless—an effortless blend of editorial and cinematic storytelling. Even in a fully planned studio set, her images feel natural and candid, like she’s quietly capturing the story as it unfolds.

As the founder of Brandied Agency, Amy is my go-to for all client work & for my own personal shoots as well. Beyond her talent, she has an incredible ability to put people at ease. She confidently guides you through posing while bringing out your most natural, authentic self, acting as both an artist and a cheerleader on set.”

“My time with Amy was more than just a photo session. She took the extra care before our scheduled time to get to know me, my goals, ask me what my vision was, and helped me create it. During our session, thanks to Amy, I grew more and more confident and like the best version of myself thanks to how she led us through each moment. Every pose, every outfit, every idea, she really showed up for me in every single way. Afterwards, she made sure that I loved the photos and has been a light in my life ever since. Not to mention - the results were better than I ever could have dreamed of. I have used these photos constantly in different ways since our time together. I cannot recommend Amy enough!!!”

“10 out of 5 stars for Amy Dawn Photography! Her approach made my brand photoshoot much less nerve wrecking. And she takes the time to learn about you, your vision, etc. so it’s not the typical “cookie cutter” results that you see on the Gram.

For all of my fellow corporate execs and rising stars, highly recommend investing in yourself (and your brand) by sitting down with Amy to create an amazing look and experience an even more amazing shoot!”

“Amy is the most ideal candidate when looking for a photographer. Not only is she genuinely an amazing person (kind, intelligent, etc), but her eye is like no other. She makes you feel comfortable, and captures the little moments & details between the larger ones. All around a 10/10 photographer, human, & a delight to work with. Cannot recommend Amy Dawn Photography enough.”

“We hired Amy to document a 72-guy golf trip to Scotland last October. Over the course of 4 days, Amy was ever present but non-intrusive. The photos and videos were amazing. In addition, Amy managed the social media postings in real time. At the end of the trip, she packaged everything in a nice website and an unbelievable keepsake book.

Amy did an amazing job of documenting a once in a lifetime trip. I cannot recommend her enough.”

She is professional, fun, easygoing, yet very detailed and organized… very on top of everything, and she made everything so easy.I would 10/10 recommend her in all regards.

Thank you Amy!”
