Hey there! I'm Amberlei Oates and let me tell you, photography is not just a job for me, it's my absolute passion! Every shoot is a new opportunity for me to get creative and meet amazing people along the way. Understanding many folks aren't sure what to do infront of a camera, I come planned with a curated shoot list and will take care of the details so you can authentically enjoy our time together.

With 20 years of experience, my photography has evolved into a unique style that I like to call "grit and grain". I specialize in natural lighting techniques and style is a mix of Documentary & Lifestyle. My images are never forced or posed, I simply coach my clients to capture the most stunning shots possible.

And let's talk tech, I come prepared with full-frame Nikon Z6 systems, multiple lenses, and streamlined post-editing processes to ensure you can share your big news and hang those photos sooner! As a retired Military Veteran, mother, and forward-thinking innovator, I have the professionalism and creativity to be the perfect photographer for your moments. Let's chat and discuss how I can help you tell your story through the art of Photography!
