Hi there!
I'm Amber - a Minnesota-grown artist, photographer, and mama obsessed with Jesus and creativity! I'm PUMPED - and grateful - that you exist & that you've found your way to my little corner of the interwebs!
My goal is to creatively portray the real and the raw in this journey we call "life." Your story matters & it sets my heart on fire to capture & tell it authentically.
Making art & taking photos aren't just "jobs" to me - They're (collectively) a ministry and a mission! It's an opportunity to serve others & make people feel seen, loved, and valued. I want to get to KNOW you - your passions, your dreams... what excites you? What gives you a sense of purpose?! Reach out & let's be real-life friends!
Things I Love
White Daisies
-
The wild kind you find in fields & ditches.
HEART. EYES.
I don't know what exactly it is about them, but I've always loved them.
Laughter
-
I'm pretty sure some super smart person said that laughter is the best medicine. I've gotta' say: Hands down. 100%
Nintendo
-
Call me "old school" but the original Nintendo is where it's at. Am I awesome at it? Guess we'll have to become friends to find out!
(the answer is yes.)
YES!
- Jesus & coffee (or tea) first thing in the morning
- Music all day, every day
- Cantelope. Drool.
- Not wearing foot or leg prisons (read: socks or pants)
- Vanilla ice cream with nothing on it - simplicity at it's finest
- Long walks & deep talks
- Being at a lake doing something lake-y
- Not doing laundry
- Bonfires in the Fall. LOVE.
- Board games... bring it on, baby
- Random adventures
- The Office. Because laughing is greater than... like... not laughing.
- Doing real life with people - true connection!
- Pineapple on pizza (fight me)
HARD PASS.
- Windy weather... It's chilly & partly cloudy or sunny & 72 degrees. There is no in-between.
- Bacon. Before you disown me, I like it REAL crunchy. Like burnt... Ok, I like burnt bacon.
- Set schedules/calendars. Not a fan. But, alas, a necessity of life.
- Avoiding discomfort. Growth happens outside your comfort zone.
- Lying. No bueno. Not worth it.
- Someone vacuuming before I get to. Vacuuming is so satisfying.
- Group-think
- Beer. barf.
- Horror films. I choose life.
- Running. Unless something feisty is chasing me; then I'll consider reconsidering.
- Small talk. I'd rather staple my face to a wall.
