Love letters…

"Amber was one of the photographers at my wedding in August of this year. She was so kind and respectful. She has such a great talent in photography. Ideas we would have never thought of she did and they turned out amazing! I loved how she was able to connect with me unlike anyone else. She noticed one of my tattoos was the name of one of her animals just like it was mine. If you’re looking for fantastic pictures and a photographer that is really passionate about her job you found the right one here and Lilac & Honey Photography."

—Makayla (Bride)
"We recently scheduled an at home newborn session with Amber and truly enjoyed every minute of it! She was very personable, and made sure to take our special requests into account, while making her own suggestions based on her knowledge and experience. The photos turned out perfect! She was very professional and made communication simple and easy. We highly recommend booking her for your next photo session!"

—Megan (Newborn)
"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amber, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She captured our family so beautifully—every smile, every candid moment, every little detail. The photos are not only stunning, but they truly feel like us. Since sharing them, we’ve been flooded with compliments from friends and family. People keep asking who our photographer was, and we’re thrilled to recommend her to everyone. She made the whole experience relaxed and fun, and her eye for composition and lighting is just next-level. If you’re looking for someone who brings warmth, professionalism, and serious talent to the table, Amber is it. We’ll treasure these photos forever!"
