As the big sister who has a love of sentimental keepsakes and a love language in gift giving, it just makes sense that I love my time as a photographer helping families hold onto seasons of life with heirloom artwork. I'm also a coffee-loving, wild-hearted gal with a penchant for watching comfort shows on repeat.
Living in Phoenix, Arizona, I thrive in sunny mountain foothills filled with saguaros, especially with clients in tow. I've been photographing maternity, newborn and family sessions for a decade now, and I love helping each family reminisce every season of life through the custom artwork in their homes.

Not only are these some of our favorite and best looking family photos ever, but we had an absolute blast with Amber out in the desert. My kids are already asking when we can do it again! Thank you Amber! I'm so excited to get our beautiful album.
Kylie
I am so thankful to have found Amber!! The images she took of our family are beautiful and she was even able to make my stubborn toddler smile! Amber is so easy to work with and she provides great feedback if you have any questions. I can’t thank her enough for helping to capture images that I will cherish forever.

From our messages to us finally meeting in person Amber was very kind, efficient, supportive and informative. Once we did our sessions and she provided the galleries I was floored, her work is amazing and she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She helped me capture some memories of my growing family that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. I recommend Amber a million times over.
Laura
Amber is the sweetest human. She is so much fun and makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire session. She is so encouraging and reassuring that everything you are doing is perfect (even when you feel it’s not). She has such an eye for where the sun light is and her photos turn out breathtaking. She is wonderful through and through!
Lindsay
When we moved to Arizona we had this vision of family photos we wanted. Amber made that vision come to life and then some! Her work was more than I could have asked for. She made the session seamless and I couldn't ask for better family photos.

Amber is very skilled at what she does!
We got our maternity photos taken by Amber & the entire process was seamless. The professional canvas that came with our package is gorgeous and super high quality!
My husband and I both felt very comfortable getting our pics taken and would recommend Amber to anyone!!
Amanda
She's so wonderful and easygoing, we laughed through the entire session. The pictures came less than a week after our session and they're beautiful. I'll be using her for all of our pictures from here on out!
Sam
Amber was exactly what our family needed! From the start she has been incredibly responsive and delightful to work with. Even with our super awkward group, she made the whole experience light and fun while somehow capturing beautifully candid moments.
We highly recommend Amber!
Carli
My pictures turned out AMAZING!! Amber was so great to work with. She told me exactly how to pose and where to be, while also getting my feedback and doing any poses that I wanted to do specifically. I would highly recommend Cactus & Pine Photography and will be using her again in the future!
kseniya
I am speechless! I just got the pictures back and I had to have tissues near. They were perfect. We haven’t done pictures in 3 years and we’re so excited to see how beautiful they came out. These photos will last forever.
Brittanny
The session was AMAZING! Amber prepared us well for the photos. She knew different areas to go that would get great pictures. I couldn't have asked for better natural photos of my family!
Amanda
My husband is NOT comfortable in front of the camera so we don't have many pictures just the two of us. We had SUCH a good time and they were better than I could have ever expected. We just had her shoot our maternity pics and they're even better than the first set.
Kind Words
Get in touch
Helping families preserve the authentic emotions and connection they share has always felt like a calling for me. I love telling the story of growing families year after year through the portraits that go on to adorn their walls.
I've had the joy of creating nostalgia for families for over 10 years. Through playful sessions and a fully guided experience, I've helped moms feel beautiful and appreciated, dads feel comfortable and kids let their personality shine.
As your photographer I guide you through my seamless process, from booking to posing to installing artwork in your Phoenix home, and I love capturing every part your maternity, newborn and family story.
