Frequently Asked Questions
Have Questions? Get Answers.
A: Yes, I do! The session fee reserves your date on my calendar and is due before your session, while artwork and digital images are paid for after viewing your images. However, if it's easier for you, payments can be split into even payments.
*Artwork orders on payment plans must be paid in full before the order is placed.
A: I would love to be your go-to photographer for your family! I offer Motherhood Bundles and Memberships so you can capture your family through all seasons of life as you grow.
As a bonus, with bundles and memberships, you only pay your session fee once!
A: They won't. In fact, letting them be exactly who they are at this stage is what we're trying to capture! That is the nostalgia. Whether they're shy, wiggly or anything in between, we'll capture the best portraits - even on their bad days.
Even if you think your kids are a new breed of chaos, I promise they aren't, and I've got you covered.
P.S. You're doing a great job!
A: Absolutely. I offer an incredible selection of gowns for moms to wear, and timeless pieces for kids, too - all totally free to borrow for your session. If you don't fall in love with something, we can add to my closet (you get to set a trend) or I can simply direct you where to find your own stunning ensemble. I will send my Style Guide that tells you where to shop, what to look for and what to avoid.
A: Of course. Like with my Style Guide, I will send you my Newborn Prep Guide with my personal tips to ready your home in time for your session.
I cover everything from lighting, to clutter, to making sure Baby and siblings will have everything they need to help things run as smoothly as possible.
- 7-14 days will be the "typical" sleepiest, option to swaddle
- 2-6 weeks - those "still little" newborn days
- 6-12 weeks will be a more alert, active babe
A: Your sweet newborn is in good hands - yours! For the majority of your session, your little one is soundly sleeping in your family's arms. If you choose to wrap, I am trained and can lend a hand with a nice, tight swaddle to last the session. You will see, to start and throughout your session, I always make sure to disinfect my equipment, and wash my hands well. As an extra precaution, I am Child CPR & First Aid certified.
Should I fall ill, it's always best to delay your session than risk your little babe's immune system. After all, I photograph newborn sessions up to 12 weeks!
A: I totally get it. Cleaning up when you're in the thick of those first few weeks, loving your home decor but not enough for a session with it, whatever it is, your own home isn't always ideal. Good news! I have studio options for you.

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.
tara
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.
harley
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.
