Get to know the Amber
Family & Lifestyle Photographer
I’m a wife to my highschool sweetheart Chad and mama to our 2 sweet wild boys Colton & Easton. I’m a Disney enthusiast who runs on coffee and reruns of my favourite shows. I love to travel and cook and spend time at the lake with my family in the summer.
do what you love & call it work
To me this business was the start or a new and exciting adventure for me and my family. It was also the end of a career that while I loved it at the time, was not my passion.
When I was naming SSP, I knew I didn't want to use my actual name for a variety of reasons so I started to think about the path that led me here.
To Sage something is to cleanse it and remove any negative or unwanted energy from it. And a Seed of course is the start of something new, a new life.
Which is exactly what this business was for me at that moment.
While a career in photography was my plan, it took me a bit to finally get here.
After going to school for Advertising & Marketing followed by a career in event & travel coordination, I found myself without a job like so many in spring of 2020 while expecting our second babe.
After taking a year to spend at home as a new family of 4, I knew it was time to finally do something for me. This is when my sweet friend Janita O'hara shared her Pursue the Path course on starting a photography business. After some encouragement from my husband, I decided it was time to make it happen.
In June 1st 2021 Sage & Seed Photography was born, & the rest is history.

"Photo shoots aren’t our strong suit, but we decided to book Sage and Seed for a maternity shoot and are so glad we did. Amber captured this stage in our life beautifully and we will cherish the photos for a lifetime. As ‘don't know what to do with our hands’ types of people we appreciated her clear direction for posing and are impressed with how relaxed we look in the photos. We look forward to having Amber capture our family on an annual basis from now on."

"We have had 3 sessions with Amber now and beyond being such an incredible photographer, she is so easy to talk to which made all of our pictures very candid and “us”. Our galleries came back well before the expected date with so many extra photos we did not expect to get! Highly recommend booking Amber to capture your special moments! We will treasure all photos for years to come."
