AMELIA MARGARET

Amelia Margaret Photography began in 2016. I was rocking my oldest son to sleep in his nursery and a box of baby wipes caught my eye. On this box was a beautiful little baby, happy and posing on a blanket. I thought to myself, "every family should be able to have pictures like that." I thought about some of the families at the title 1 school I teach in (yes, teacher by day- photographer by night!) and how precious and unique each child is. In that moment, I just wanted to give everyone an opportunity to capture those amazing moments in life that are passing by ever so quickly.

 

I debated for a while on how to go about making photography more accessible to others. I struggled because I know many talented professional photographers that make a living off of their beautiful work. I worried greatly about taking away from their business and livelihood. I didn't want to seem like I was trying to "under-cut" them or make light of the hard work that goes into being a professional photographer. It involves constant learning, a lot of time, and so much money.

 

After much thought, the “pay what you can” campaign was born. I was able to provide photos for an amazing four years under the busniess model that clients simply offer what they could afford in exchange for their photo package. People are truly amazing if you just believe. I was able to provide that service for SO MANY people. 

​

It was an incredible journey and I still plan on offering those "Pay what you can" sessions on certain dates of the year. I still truly believe that everyone deserves access to photography that is beautiful and stress-free but it's time now to further invest in updated equipment and continue to learn and improve my craft.

 

I am now offering more tailored packages to fit your needs in an expanded area from Lapeer, MI. Thank you for going on this journey with me. It's an honor to be considered for your photography needs.
