Client Raves

Lisa Desmond | “My experience at Amy’s studio was so amazing. My husband and I were worried how our one year old twins would do being photographed for the first time by someone other than Grandma. We were ready for anything, and it turned out to be more wonderful than we could have expected. Our little ones took to Amy like she was family. She was able to capture expressions that happen so quickly that if you blinked they would be gone, she even caught the sweetest little kiss between my son and daughter. We’re so proud of our pictures, we show them to everyone. We can’t wait to schedule our next visit.”

Jennifer Carrasco | “Amy Dawnelle is an award winning photographer, representing the 2010 PPA Photographer of the Year, and the 2010 Professional Photographers of San Diego County Children’s Photographer of the Year. These distinctions are not surprising. The images that she captures are exquisite, timeless and sometimes mesmerizing. She is truly an exceptional artist, and a consummate professional. I am very thankful for the time with her to capture a little piece of our lives as a family, and for the images that I will treasure every day, for years to come.”

Camille Schmitt | “I can’t speak highly enough of your work.  Your photography is more than just a photo, it’s a work of art.  You were able to capture the fleeting newborn stage and create a portrait in which time stands still, each and every time I marvel at my last born son’s pictures.  You were able to solidify that the investment that we made with Declan’s photos is one that we should have made with the birth of my twins 5 1/2 years ago.   We will continue to be loyal to you and your work, and can’t wait for you to continue to to help us preserve the new adventures and memories on camera that will be made in the years to come!
