Amethyst Design Photography
Real Moments. True Color. Timeless Memories.
Welcome to Amethyst Design Photography
At Amethyst Design Photography, I believe the most beautiful images come from genuine connection, real light, and unfiltered emotion.
Whether you’re walking down the aisle, graduating, or simply soaking up the sweetness of everyday life, I’m here to capture it—exactly how it felt. My editing style stays true to color, so your memories remain as rich and vibrant as the day they happened.
These aren’t just photos. They’re keepsakes of the people you love most, frozen in time with honesty and heart.

FAQ
How do I book a photo session with you?
You’ll find an “Inquire Now” button at the top of this page, which will take you directly to my booking site. There, you can choose the session length that best fits your needs. All of my sessions are based on time, and you can find more details—like what’s typically captured in each time frame—on my Pricing page.
Not sure which session length is right for your vision? No problem! Just head over to the Contact page, fill out the quick form, and I’ll be in touch to help guide you toward the best fit.
Can I customize a photography package to fit my specific needs?
Of course! If you don’t see a package that fits your specific needs—whether for portraits, weddings, or anything in between—I’m more than happy to create a custom package tailored to both your photography vision and your budget.
How long does it take to receive the final edited images?
For regular sessions, my turnaround time is 1-3 weeks. For weddings, my turnaround time is 4-6 weeks.
This may change slightly, but I will always communicate with you if I anticipate it being longer.
How do you keep photos safe?
This one is important. These sessions are important, and we don't want to (frankly, sometimes can't) redo them.
My camera uses 2 memory cards at once, which gives an extra layer of protection for your photos. Every time I take a picture, it saves to both cards - so if one were to fail (which is rare but possible), your memories are still safe on the second.
After your session, I always make sure your images are saved to 2 separate hard drives. This means there's always a full backup stored in a second location. This allows me to make sure your images are extra safe until they're edited and delivered to you.
How long have you been doing this?
I began my photography journey in 2020, starting with family and friends and quickly falling in love with capturing meaningful moments. As my passion and confidence grew, so did my client base—and I’ve been growing ever since!
While I’m continuing to focus on weddings, I’m always excited to photograph any type of session you have in mind—families, seniors, couples, portraits, and more. I’m all about creating a fun, relaxed experience and capturing memories you’ll truly love. Whatever your vision is, I’m always up for it!
Emily did an incredible job with our kiddos. It was quite possibly the quickest and most painless session we’ve ever experienced! Highly recommend! Absolutely amazing photos!

We were gifted our wedding photography by Emily from a group of our close friends as a surprise! It was the best day ever! 💖 So grateful for our friends for this wonderful gift, and for Emily! It speaks volumes of her talent that even though she had never met us in person before the wedding day- she was able to capture the personalities of not only us, but our children as well! 🥰 Her communication leading up to the wedding day was wonderful, and the whole day we had so much fun with her! Highly recommend for anyone viewing this page! We now have beautiful, lasting memories that we will get to view forever. She has such a talent for capturing special moments that may have gone unnoticed by others. Looking through our gallery was such a wonderful experience, every image was beautiful and filled with love!

We really enjoyed our photo session with Emily. We did a fall mini-session and our theme was breast cancer awareness. She captured our personalities perfectly, and was really fun to work with. We were both wearing pink, and it popped so well with the vibrant fall colors of our background.
We will definitely do another session next year!

I had pictures taken with Emily for my college graduation! Even though it was a mini-session, I still feel like I got so many pics back and awesome quality! Emily was super flexible in coming out to my college campus and also well prepared with cute poses for pictures. Highly recommend her and her growing business!

Emily is absolutely amazing at what she does! Myself and my friend were so unbelievably lucky to get Emily to do our college graduation photos done by her. Emily had great communication with both of us from the start, and accommodated us by driving to our school and having great ideas for shots! The photos came back amazing and in a timely manner! Couldn’t recommend Emily enough, she is amazing and very artistic! ✨✨✨
~Kayleigh
I love working with Emily from both a professional and personal standpoint! It is so nice to have somebody to bounce ideas off of and vice versa! She is my go-to when I need a second photographer, as well as the first person I refer people to if I’m unavailable! She is not only an amazing colleague, but also a wonderful friend, and I can’t wait for all the projects we have together this year! It’s gonna be a fun one! 😉🤍

Emily did my son's Senior pictures. She was so great to work with. My son's personality came through in the photos. Emily had poses that were natural and not forced. The turn around time was so quick. Amazing customer service! Emily promptly returned messages and emails. My family will definitely have more photo sessions with Amethyst Design Photography!
