However, a minority of reviewers reported dissatisfaction with long wait times for photo delivery and inefficient download processes, contrasting with the generally positive feedback regarding the in-person experience.

I had such a great experience with Amber. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session, and it was clear that she has an amazing eye for detail. I’m usually not a fan of professional photos because I often end up with my head tilted at an awkward angle, my eyes looking in a completely different direction, or I’m left to figure out how to pose with little to no direction. That was not the case with Amber. I really appreciated how much guidance she provided with posing, positioning, and the little details that make such a difference in the final photos. She made the experience feel natural and comfortable, and the results were absolutely amazing. I’m so happy with how my photos turned out and would definitely recommend Amber Denise Photography to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great overall experience.

Amber is amazing! She is so kind and patient throughout the entire process. She guides you and your family members with poses along the way. Her work is beautiful. She captured maternity photos for both of my pregnancies and did my first born’s newborn photos. We loved her work so much that she will also be capturing our second baby’s newborn photos. Book with Amber! You won’t regret it! She is the best!

Amber is great! She helps direct your poses which is great for someone who feels awkward in front of the camera. She has an awesome closet selection to choose dresses/fabrics from. Recently did my maternity shoot and can’t wait to see the edited photos!

Excellent work from start to finish! Being able to select on-site hair & makeup made a massive difference when I was selecting a maternity photographer. The hair & makeup team reached out to me and asked for reference photos a few days beforehand, and copied what I wanted perfectly on the day of the shoot.
I got couple/family portraits with a squirmy toddler, and my own solo maternity shots. She was completely accommodating & professional the whole time, and endlessly patient with my wardrobe/jewelry changes. I also really liked the wide variety of colors & styles she has in-studio for maternity gowns. She has a great eye for color, and I looked superb in a purple gown I normally wouldn't have chosen for myself.
If you want to pay for a few extra props like a throne, it's absolutely worth it. She knows how to direct you into great natural poses. I was truly walking on air for the whole week after our photo shoot because she really knows how to make someone feel glamorous~☆

I had such an amazing experience with Amber for my maternity photoshoot! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. She was incredibly patient, kind, and truly made the whole experience enjoyable.
Her hair and makeup artists also did a wonderful job. I felt absolutely beautiful and taken care of. Everything came together perfectly, and it really shows in the final photos.
I’m beyond happy with how my pictures turned out, I love them so much! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a maternity photographer.

This was my first professional photo shoot & Amber did not disappoint. I was nervous going into it not knowing what to expect, but Amber led the way throughout the whole process. From helping me pick gowns from her gorgeous selection in her client closet, to directing me on how to pose. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful from start to finish. This is my last pregnancy and she helped me capture it beautifully. Amber will definitely be my go to for any future photo shoots with my kids and family.
