My “hangout sessions” are exactly what they sound like: relaxed, comfortable sessions that still give you beautiful, professional portraits.

They’re inspired by my late teens and early twenties, when I was always the friend with a camera. We’d hang out, talk, listen to music, and take photos that felt like us. These sessions have that same easy feeling, just 20 years later, with a whole lot more experience behind the camera and years spent learning how to help people feel comfortable in front of it.

We talk beforehand so I can get to know you, what you love, and how you want to be photographed. Then I help shape the session into something that feels quintessentially you. Elevated portraits of who you truly are at heart.

I usually photograph these sessions at my home, but Erin’s beautiful house and her six dogs are such a huge part of her life that I knew we needed to do hers there.

We chose a few outfits, a few corners of her home that she loves, and the places where the light hits just right. I worked around her real life, rather than trying to turn it into something else, and we created so many beautiful images that embody Erin to a tee.

These are just a few of them.

I’ve received more wedding inquiries this year than I have in quite a while, and I’m genuinely so grateful that people are still thinking of me for such an important day.

I do need to officially share that I’m no longer able to photograph weddings.

After an injury in 2021, I was left with a long-term physical disability. I can’t move quickly enough or stay on my feet long enough to give a wedding day the coverage and care it deserves. I’ve quietly declined wedding inquiries for the last several years, but with so many coming in lately, I realized I needed to make a more public announcement.

I am still very much available for couples sessions, engagement photos, couples bo***ir, bridal bo***ir, and portraits before or after the wedding. I’d love to help you document this season of your life, even if I can’t be the one photographing the full wedding day.

Thank you so much for continuing to trust me, recommend me, and think of me. It truly means a lot. 💚

Exactly one month from today, I turn 40.

Which feels a little weird to say, honestly, but I’m also genuinely excited about it.

I don’t want to spend this milestone wishing I looked younger, trying to recreate an old version of myself, or acting like 40 is something I’m supposed to dread. I want to celebrate everything it took to get here, and all the women who are here with me.

That’s really where my 40 Over 40 campaign came from.

I want to photograph women in this season of life exactly as they are now. Not trying to be 20 again. Not waiting to lose weight, feel more confident, or find the “right” reason to be photographed.

Just showing up as the person they’ve become.

These sessions can be modest, glam, bo***ir-inspired, soft, bold, classic, or anything in between. They include professional hair and makeup, full posing guidance, same-day viewing, and one image.

And eventually, the portraits will come together for a gallery-style celebration of women over 40.

So, one month out from my own 40th birthday, I’m officially reminding you about this very special project.

If you’re 40+ and something about this keeps pulling at you, I would really love to photograph you.

Okay, I made something for the boyfriends/husbands/partners who mean well but somehow still hand the phone back with 14 photos she hates 😂

Phone Portraits for Boyfriends is a simple, no-stress guide to taking better photos of the woman you love with the phone you already have.

No photography experience. No complicated camera talk.

It covers things like:

• where to stand
• how high to hold the phone
• how to find better light
• why 0.5x is usually not your friend
• what to say while you’re taking the picture
• easy posing prompts
• how to get better candids, vacation photos, family pictures, and content
• quick fixes when the photo looks dark, blurry, stretched, stiff, or just… off

It also includes screenshot-ready cheat sheets, so nobody has to reread the whole thing in the middle of date night.

Basically: fewer “never mind” photos. More pictures she actually wants to keep.

As you may know, I introduced a sliding scale option a while back to accommodate a wider range of budgets than I had been able to take on in the past. This has provided me with many opportunities to stretch my creative muscles, meet some really amazing clients, and has provided those clients with a high quality photo experience that they may not have had otherwise.

Now that my regular bookings are picking back up (my next open Friday is in August 🫠), I’ll be going back to my standard session format, including session fee and collections, soon.

If you would like to take advantage of the sliding scale option while it’s still exists, you can visit my website and fill out a short contact form to let me know what you’re interested in. We’ll see what we can make work for you!

If there's one thing I explain about my services A LOT, it's payment options and payment plans. What we offer here in our studio is FAR from a bare-bones photo shoot; it's a fully-catered, professionally-planned, personalized luxury photo experience! This kind of self-love adventure is an investment in yourself, and it can change the way you see yourself and interact with others in a big way, but it doesn't have to break the bank.

I've worked hard to create several ways to pay without having to cover it all at once, including PayPal Credit and Afterpay options, and our most popular in-house pre-payment plan that unlocks several exclusive bonuses worth up to $600!

You can check out all of the information here www.amberlane.us/paymentoptions and see just how attainable (and affordable!) this experience really is! Click “contact” from our website menu if you have any questions, fill out our quick form, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

Making friends as an adult is weirdly hard.

Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. Half of us are trying to keep up with work, kids, relationships, bodies changing, life changing, and whatever else is currently on fire.

So nine years ago today, I started a Facebook group called Amber’s Gems.

At first, it was mostly a place for my clients to share their photos, hype each other up, ask questions, and see real women having real photo experiences with me.

But over time, it’s turned into something bigger than that.

Amber’s Gems is a community for women in Arkansas who want a little more connection, confidence, friendship, and fun in their lives.

We talk about photos, confidence, body image, clothes, beauty, relationships, events, local things, life things, and everything in between. Sometimes we do dinners, parties, photo-related events, girls’ nights, and little community things when schedules and energy allow.

It’s not perfect. It’s not performative. It’s not one of those groups where you have to be “on” all the time.

It’s just a space for women to feel welcome, be themselves, make new friends, cheer each other on, and maybe find a little bit of the community we all keep saying we wish we had.

You don’t have to be a client to join. You don’t have to be interested in bo***ir. You just need to be a woman, 21+, and connected to Arkansas in some way.

If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, you can join us here:

Our bo***ir experiences are top-notch and come with everything you need to have one of the best photo sessions of your life! One of our most important elements is our expert posing and facial coaching.
But what is “expert posing and facial coaching” exactly?
It means you won’t need to be a model to look like a model for your photos! I have been working with women of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds for nearly two decades, and I’ll make sure you don’t look awkward or stiff on camera, even if that’s what you’re used to feeling when someone takes your picture. I’ll direct you down to your fingertips and toes, tell you exactly where to look, and make small adjustments as we go to be sure we’re getting the best angles and light for you! You’ll receive clear, easy-to-understand directions that will keep you looking like a natural model!
You don’t have to practice or study how to pose before you come in, or have any experience in looking “sultry” or “sexy.” Just trust me, trust my team, and I’ll bet you’ll surprise yourself with just how great you look!
