Experience

Learn the process, find out what portrait's look like, and hear what exactly makes an Amy Dunkel bride or Momma. 

It all starts with gorgeous light and an open heart to making just a little bit of magic. 

Each and every session and wedding is planned to a T, to give you the flexibility for the every day and the determination to take pictures for you that might just make you cry...

We are going to be friends...

It start's by learning what your hopes  are for your pictures, after all, they are for you! I want your pictures to be exactly what you hoped they would be (and more)
and that start's by chit chatting together so that I can give you the gallery of your dreams. 

Lots of pictures will be had...

After I learn what your hopes and dreams are for your session, it's time to make the magic happen.

We will take a lot of pictures, in five years of shooting, I know how to give you a gallery full of variety for magic you planned on, and magic you didn't expect. Oh la la!

The pictures then get their final touches through my unique film like editing process...

Each and every selected image is then hand edited to perfection. Each of your pictures deserves this final step and personal touch before it makes it's way into your 
delivered gallery.

Frequently asked questions

when should I inquire about my wedding?

As soon as possible! I can only serve one bride and groom per weekend and take only a limited number of weddings per year! If interested, inquire ASAP!!

What is your style?

Light, bright, and airy. I love minimalism, nothing better then a gorgeous white wall, window light or a sun lit beach. I want the focus to be on you. 
I am greatly inspired by FUJI film and
Kodak Portra film processing. 

how do i know if we are the right fit?

Make sure you are in love with the way my pictures are edited and the bright and airy style. Your pictures will be similar!
 I am very laid back and go with the flow,  I love to have fun while taking pictures, this job is too joyful to not be in the moment having a blast! Does this sound like you? Then I am probably your girl! 

What areas do you serve?

For Newborns and weddings, I travel all over Maryland and love exploring new places! 

How many pictures can we expect?

For family and newborn work, 100 + images minimum. I am an over shooter by heart!

For weddings, a minimum of 100 images per hour of coverage. 

How soon will I have my pictures?

Within three weeks for Newborn Sessions and within six weeks for weddings.

Why are newborns in home?

After having my own three children (and having a postpartum experience with each one), I find it easier to be at home and to have all of your own baby things on hand, I want that for my Mommas!!
 I will find the good light, I promise!

do i need props for newborn sessions?

No way sister, dress that baby in a well fitting outfit (white onesies work great!), I will have a few neutral swaddles and that is really all you need for great pictures! The focus should be all about you and your baby, keep it simple!

Favorite thing to photograph?

Baby yawns, New Mommas holding their darling babies and giddy newlyweds.
Okay, I choose three..
