I’m Amber.
I’m a photographer, writer, creative business owner and admitted francophile. I love to cook, capture stories, and am meticulous about the details. My happy place is being by the ocean; kids in tow, camera and iced coffee in hand.
A seaside, New England based writer, single mom, and always up to grab a coffee (or sandwich) and chat about art, culture, books, and basically how to live life in the slow lane.

Have you always dreamed of being a photographer? I used to dream about it, too- until one day, I invested in a camera and just started. And… it was harder than I thought. Way harder. Good photographers make it look easy, until you have an empty tabletop in front of you and have to start fixing the lighting, composition, color story and… wait, what’s aperture again? Here is where I chat about all things food photography.

If you’re a creative business owner this is the place where I talk about all things creative business related! Running a business isn’t easy (does anyone else get lonely?!), so the more we can share thoughts, experiences and ideas the better! I cover things from money talk, finding and keeping clients, contracts, time management and workflows, and basically how to manage wearing all the hats!
