I have had Amy take both of my daughters' Senior portraits and I can't say enough great things about Amy! She is a phenomenal photographer! She has a great eye for detail and she knows the perfect spots for coordinating with outfits. She also is wonderful with making you feel at ease. Both of my daughters are introverted and not too excited to have their pictures taken, but Amy made them feel relaxed- they actually ended up enjoying the photo session. I highly recommend her - you won't be disappointed.
Amy Drake did an amazing job capturing my daughter’s personality and beauty! She offered a great variety of poses and locations, making the album feel unique and special. The entire process—from previewing photos to the final layout—was efficient and thoughtfully done. We love how perfectly it captures her senior year!
Amy was very easy to work with and super responsive through the whole process. I was getting professional headshots done for work/LinkedIn and she was extremely helpful and the photos turned out great. The process started with a video call where she went over the process and made general wardrobe recommendations. On the day of the photos she was very knowledgeable and professional and made a lot of pose adjustments to make sure the photos turned out well. I'd absolutely recommend her.
We first met Amy 17 years ago when our daughter was a few weeks old. Amy was amazing then and she was amazing again as we took some time to capture senior and family photos for our daughter's senior year in High School. Amy is so down to earth and amazingly talented. We had an initial meeting to discuss our goals; she helped us identify a photo shoot location (outdoors) and worked with us the entire time. The shoot went very smoothly, and the results were fantastic. Amy scheduled some time and reviewed all the photos with us helping us narrow it down to a few prints and an album. - We will treasure our memories for ever
I have had the pleasure of working with Amy Drake several times over the last 18 years! I first met her when she took one year pictures of my daughter, we met again when she photographed her for her dance studio most recently when she photographed senior portraits for this same daughter. Amy always put us at ease, wanting the experience to be fun rather than stressful. She does a wonderful job of listening to the clients likes and dislikes as it relates to photographs and has a way of making her subjects appear their best- using the natural surroundings to produce natural and stunning images. Amy's team is professional, well organized and clear about all of the information needed to prepare for the photography session. She has relationships with hair and makeup stylists that naturally enhance her clients. Her work speaks for itself- I would not hesitate to use Amy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.
