"Story Maker Photo is a unicorn in the photography business. Amber can put anyone at ease to capture those natural, heart-warming moments."

- Heather & Andy W.

We’re making memories and telling stories over here—not faking laughs or staging perfection.

The magic is already there: in the way you share a quiet laugh, how you stand close without even thinking, or the calm that comes when you’re together. My job is to notice these moments—the ones that feel effortless but mean everything—and capture them in a way that feels true to you.

These aren't your average engagement photos

Want in on a little secret?

During your engagement photos, why not try something different? Make memories by taking a private horseback ride through the mountains, rent Jeeps and go off-roading, sip cocktails by the river, or get out on paddle boards together on Lake Estes.

Your engagement photos should be more than just pictures—they should be an experience.
A chance to soak in the fresh mountain air, explore hidden gems, and celebrate this fleeting, beautiful chapter of your story.

As an Estes Park local, I’ll guide you to the best trails, secret spots, and perfect pockets of golden light, so your photos feel as magical as the moment itself. The ideas are endless, and I can't wait to help you dream up the most meaningful photos for you.

The easiest way to feel comfortable in front of the camera is by forgetting it's there
(and by hiring a pro like me)

"It felt way more like meeting a friend at 5am to hang out and take pics all day, rather than bracing ourselves for hours of portraits and strained prolonged smiles. The photos themselves captured core memories in the most beautiful and effortless way and we get so much joy looking through them over and over."

- Mel & Sara
