Starting a Family
Mallori and Abel were both so excited for their first baby (a girl) to arrive. Mallori came to me with a boho-trendy, desert vision for her lace gown.

Experience
Maternity
The
Becoming a mama is no small feat and it's so exciting!! This may be your only or last, your rainbow or unicorn baby, but each journey is so unique. So, it's important to celebrate it!
I will select gown options for you, and share ideas for the rest of the family! We'll look through beautiful locations and settle on your favorite. As your photographer, I am there to guide you through every step from planning to posing, stress-free.
Your maternity session will hold the memory of everything from baby kicks to back aches. You're excited, you're in love, you just want it to be done, and then, in a flash, it is.
And if the scars, stretch marks and skin ever make you feel less than INCREDIBLE, you will look at your images and remember the rest of the story - the struggle, love, and strength that made you a Mama; Queen; Warrior; Nurturer.
I am here to guide you from when to schedule, to finding the perfect gown, to feelin' powerful and comfortable in your session! You are creating life, mama! You are a glowing queen! And you deserve to feel like it.
Let's go through the process, together.
Desert Queen Treatment & Guidance Every Step of the Way
NOTE: I highly recommend booking your session in your second trimester. You will want your session to be within your 28-34 week mark for those classic, romantic belly images.

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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
