What a worthwhile investment! And fun, too! Professional headshots come in handy, even for retirees. Amy was able to capture the relaxed confidence of my former professional role, but seamlessly engaged my playful side. I've gotten nothing but good feedback from friends and colleagues.

Amy came out and did staff pics for my gym. Each pic was an action shot of our staff in their element. We had a tight time frame and she was able to take amazing pictures that exceeded our expectations. The staff all loved working with her.

I had a great experience with Amy photographing me for my senior portraits. She’s a wonderful photographer and made me feel very comfortable during our shoot. She was always cracking jokes and being goofy while also being very professional and polite.

Amy was amazing to work with for my personal branding photography session. She made the whole experience feel easy, comfortable, and honestly really fun. The photos turned out absolutely excellent — exactly the look and feel I was hoping for. She’s incredibly talented and has such a natural eye for capturing people in a way that feels sophisticated without looking staged. If you’re looking for excellent personal branding photography and someone who is genuinely fun to work with, I highly recommend Amy Ijams.

This was my second time doing photos with Amy…and I am even more impressed she was able to capture gorgeous photos! I challenged her by asking for a family photo shoot with myself, my 2 year old, a 6 year old Aussie Shepherd Mix, and a 4 year old Golden Retriever. She leaned into the chaos, assisted and gave direction, was SOOOOO patient, and now I have a set of gorgeous photos! I don’t know how I’ll choose a favorite! 100000% recommend!
