I think sometimes people see my work and assume that booking a session with me means you have to be ready to get naked or take overtly sexy photos.

You absolutely do not.

You can wear lingerie. You can wear a dress. You can wear jeans and a tank top. You can be completely covered. You can take it all off. Your photos can be sexy, soft, glamorous, playful, editorial, intimate, or not particularly sexual at all.

There isn’t one version of this experience that I’m trying to fit everyone into.

What I care about is giving you a few hours where a whole team is paying attention to you. We think about your hair and makeup, what you want to wear, how you want to be photographed, what makes you comfortable, and what makes you feel really good when you see yourself.

The care is the point. The individual choices are the point.

You don’t have to perform some specific version of sexy to have your photos made here. You can just come in, let us take really good care of you, and make some beautiful photos that actually feel like you.

I think we could all use a few more things on the calendar that we are genuinely excited about.

So much of what we plan revolves around appointments, obligations, work, family, and everything else that needs our attention. There is something really nice about having an experience coming up simply because you chose it for yourself and you know it is going to be fun.

A photoshoot gets to be that.

You get to plan outfits you feel incredible in, have your hair and makeup done, and spend an afternoon with me creating some really fu***ng good photos of you. You do not need a milestone to celebrate, and you definitely do not need to change anything about yourself first.

Sometimes wanting the experience is a good enough reason to have it.

For the “ber” months, I opened FOUR spots for the full Amber Lane experience + 30 fully edited digital images for $1,500. The same session and collection would normally be $3,245, which makes this one of the biggest specials I offer.

You can use your session for bo***ir, maternity, couples, branding, or personal portraits. You also have up to 8 months to actually schedule your shoot, so you can grab the special now without trying to cram another thing into an already busy fall or holiday season.

Your session includes professional hair and makeup, up to three outfits, access to my client closet, a pre-session consultation, complete posing and facial guidance, a private downtown location, and a same-day viewing.

I’m calling it the Ber Months Special because September through December are the “ber” months, Ber has been my nickname for a long time, and obviously I had to take advantage of that.

There are only four of these available.

If you have been wanting to do this and waiting for a good reason to finally put it on the calendar, I made you one.

September through December are the “ber” months, and since Ber has been my nickname for pretty much forever, I’m claiming them. 🥰

I’m opening FOUR "Ber Months" Specials:

The full photo experience + 30 edited digital images for $1,500 total.

That package is normally $3,245, so this saves $1,745.

Your session can be bo***ir, maternity, couples, branding, or personal portraits, and you do not have to shoot before December. You can book your session up to 8 months in advance.

The full experience includes professional hair and makeup, up to 3 outfits, posing and facial guidance, a pre-session consultation, same-day viewing, and all the little things that make the session feel taken care of from beginning to end.

Afterpay is available, and PayPal Credit is available on request.

There are only FOUR of these, and they are first come, first served.

I think it’s probably time I reintroduce myself around here.

Hi, I’m Amber. I’ve been a photographer since 2009, and somehow I still genuinely love this job.

I mostly photograph people, but I think what I’m actually really good at is seeing them.

I pay attention. I notice what makes you light up and what makes you shrink a little. I listen when you tell me what you love about yourself, what you’re nervous about, what you absolutely do not want, and what you secretly hope I can somehow pull out of you.

Then I build the session around that.

I’m not interested in putting every person into the same poses, the same outfits, the same lighting, and handing them a prettier version of whatever is currently popular on Instagram. I want your photos to feel like you, just maybe a version of you that you don’t get to see every day.

Sometimes that means sexy. Sometimes it means soft, weird, glamorous, powerful, romantic, masculine, feminine, playful, editorial, barely dressed, completely dressed, or something we don’t have a neat word for yet.

That’s the fun part.

I’ve been doing this professionally full-time since 2017. I’ve been lucky enough to be named Best Photographer by Arkansas Times (twice!) and AY Magazine, and I’ve photographed a whole lot of people who started their session by warning me that they were awkward, unphotogenic, nervous, bad at posing, or had no idea what they were doing.

That part is my job. You don’t need to practice first.

These days, I’m also talking a lot more about what happens outside my studio: body image, confidence, getting dressed, being in pictures, feeling hot, taking up space, letting yourself be expressive, and generally refusing to spend your entire life waiting to become a more acceptable-looking person before you enjoy it.

Because after this many years photographing people, I have a lot of thoughts about the way we see ourselves.

So if you’re new here, hi. I’m glad you found me.

And if you’ve been here for ten years, watched me change studios approximately a million times, trusted me with your own photos, recommended me to your friends, or just quietly liked my work from the sidelines, I’m really glad you’re still here too.

I’m Amber. I take really good pictures of people, and I care a whole lot about how they feel when they see them. ❤️

I want more men and masc-presenting people in front of my camera.

Not for stiff portraits. Not for corporate headshots. Not to force anyone into some narrow idea of what masculinity is supposed to look like.

I want to make casual, editorial portraits through the feminine gaze. Sexy if that fits. Soft if that fits. Sharp, pretty, rough, androgynous, polished, tattooed, understated, whatever actually feels like the person I’m photographing.

Basically, I want to give men and masc people the same kind of attention, intention, and care I’ve spent years giving the women in front of my camera.

And to the women following me: if you have a partner you would very much enjoy seeing photographed this way, this is also your invitation to send them the link. Or book it for them with their consent.

I’m opening a limited run of these at a discounted portfolio-building rate in exchange for some creative freedom and permission to share the images.

The full session + images is $375, and Afterpay is available.

One last call for these lower-cost sessions before I close them out ❤️

I put these together because I know the full investment has kept some people from working with me, and I wanted to see if I could create a lower-cost way to get you into the studio without taking away the parts of the experience that actually make it work.

These are still personalized sessions. You still get hair and makeup, planning and styling help, full posing and direction from me, your actual photo session, and your images. I didn’t want to make a cheaper experience. I wanted to find a way to make the experience I’m really good at more accessible.

So, if you’ve been wanting to do this but the price has been the thing stopping you, this is me giving it a shot for you.

Once these appointments are gone, everything goes back to my regular pricing: $499 for the experience, with photo packages beginning at $999.

There are just a few of these lower-cost sessions available, Afterpay is available, and this is your last chance to grab one before I close the experiment and go back to business as usual. ❤️

I’ve been trying to come up with a way to create some lower-investment portrait options without having to forego the full experience I’ve curated through the years. Part of what makes my sessions so effective and successful is the experience, and I don’t want to take any element of that away.

I decided to experiment with a couple of lower-cost sessions to see if it’s something I can work into my schedule sometimes, and there are a small handful of these appointments available now. I know being out-of-budget has been an obstacle for some, and I hope this is a way to change that! As always, Afterpay is available to make an easy thing even easier ❤️

Once these are gone, they’re gone. And if they end up not being viable for me, you may never see them again, so don’t miss your chance!

I’ve opened FIVE complete portrait experiences for $599 total.

I know there are people who would genuinely love to experience the kind of session I offer, but the usual starting investment just isn’t realistic for them right now. I’ve heard that, and I’ve been trying to figure out whether there’s a way to offer a smaller option without turning it into a mini session or cutting out the parts that make the experience what it is.

So, I’m trying an experiment.

These sessions still include professional hair and makeup, a planning consultation, wardrobe access, complete posing guidance, a private studio experience, and same-day viewing and ordering.

You’ll also receive five edited digital images, five 4x6 prints, and a $100 credit toward a larger collection if you decide you want more photos during your viewing.

For comparison, my regular minimum investment is currently $1,498 for the full experience and a ten-image collection.

I’m starting with five because I want to see whether I can make this work in a way that feels good for my clients and is still sustainable for my business. If it does, I’d love to bring a limited number of these back from time to time.

These can be used for bo***ir, maternity, couples, branding, or personal portraits and scheduled up to eight months in advance.

The photos I took of my husband for Smoky Row Tattoo are a good example of what creative branding photography can look like.

Branding photos do not have to mean a blazer, laptop, and coffee cup. They can be cinematic, editorial, experimental, soft, colorful, strange, or built around the feeling you want people to associate with your work.

This kind of session can work especially well for authors, musicians, therapists, coaches, artists, performers, tattooers, florists, designers, podcasters, makers, and other people whose personality or creative point of view is part of what they offer.

I’m currently offering $100 off all three of my basic branding packages with the code BRAND. The offer applies to session dates through November 2026.

You can see the packages, details, and available dates here:
