Celebrating your family’s strength and resilience
Life is both achingly beautiful and hard. We live and love in that tension acknowledging that today is a gift and tomorrow isn’t a guarantee.
My camera is poised to pay tribute to your family’s story and the ties that bind.
Whatever you have faced or are facing, it’s woven into your story. Any story carved out of struggle and tears is one worthy of preserving for the generations to come. Telling that story can be healing for you and a comfort for others. Stories like yours stretch hearts, strengthen bonds, and shift perspectives. They teach us gratitude for the good times and endurance for the hard times.
There’s a tender calling on my life to see through all your mundane, ugly, or hard to what matters most and to provide your family…
1.) a context for togetherness and playful abandon
2.) a keepsake film and photo gallery commemorating the joys (and sorrows) that have led you to today.
Equipped with a background in healthcare, a sturdy faith, (com)passionate heart, and a second sight, I am prepared to enter your shadows and to offer my camera as an instrument of hope and healing.
I want to capture your family’s strength, resiliency, and hope
The ginkgo leaf is a symbol of strength, resiliency, and enduring hope.
Ginkgo trees live thousands of years and have survived the ravages of time, even the devastation of the atomic bomb. They are considered to possess regenerative healing powers.

"There are so many days I feel like I'm hanging by a thread, but Amy was able to show me the beauty and the good that still exists through a Film lovingly crafted for our family.
Watching my family in this way brought up so many emotions, and afterwards I felt a shift in how I see us, something inside me was healed."
