Hi, my name is Amber Samotny

I received my first camera when I was in high school. I had always had a passion for photography, constantly walking around with a camera in my hand as if it was glued to my palm. I took pictures of objects that struck me as interesting or beautiful. I realized fairly quickly in life that some people see life differently than I do. I saw life as an open canvas and that anything and everything could be beautiful when taken in a different perspective.

I recently started my own photography business. For the past 16 years of my life, I have been doing everything for everyone else but myself. I have put aside my dreams because I thought they were unattainable when reality I just wasn’t trying hard enough. I have switched career paths and am finally doing something for my self and I couldn't be more thrilled to see where it leads.

To me, Photography is the difference between remembering and having memories to cherish forever. When you are able to capture moments of time to remember for a lifetime, even when the objects, or people change in those pictures. A picture is really worth a million words, and more.
