I had the joy of photographing Amber, a wonderful human, beautiful person, devoted mom of 2 AND aspiring Miss Maryland! Despite admitting to some initial nerves, Amber's rocked her session bringing all personality, beauty, and grace.

It wasn't just about capturing her outer beauty, which was effortless, but about showcasing the inspiring woman within. It's a reminder that behind every goal, there's a deeper journey. Amber's session highlights the beauty in vulnerability and the essence of chasing dreams, no matter the arena. It's not just about the end goal but the authentic self you bring to each step of the journey.

Always remember that every picture has a story. I’m proud to be able to participate in a small piece of Amber’s story. What's yours?
