  • Welcome!!

    So glad you're here! I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 18 years and we have two beautiful daughters, ages 13 and 15. I attended Columbia College and received a degree in Graphic Design. I worked as a graphic design manager for 7 years at the Illinois CPA Society where I designed their Magazine INSIGHT. My love for photography was always there but had to wait...

    On April 28, 2008 my daughter who was then almost 3 was diagnosed with ALL a form of Leukemia. As you can imagine that was a life changing moment to say the least. Through all the tears and heartache of watching your daughter go through intense chemotherapy and missing out on so many things—I have learned to treasure memories even more then ever. I just love
    taking precious pictures of children and families—the idea that these pictures will be looked
    at for generations to come is such an honor to me!!

    So here I am doing something I LOVE—capturing beautiful moments!

{beach mini’s} July 14th- discount on {fall sessions}

I’m so excited for the summer!!! evening shoots with sun setting backdrops and wind in your hair!!! ahhhhh

So I’m planning some beach sessions at the Indiana dunes. The fee is $125 for a 45 min shoot including 20-25 pictures on DVD with release. I’ll bring some fun blankets and beach stuff- yeah! These can either be just the kiddos or family. Can’t wait! I will have an alternative date for high winds or rain.

So the first date is: JULY 14th early morning and afternoon available.

If I can’t fit everyone in on this date I will open up a date in August- September.

Also -it’s not too soon to book those beautiful fall family pictures- think Christmas card photos and gifts. May seem crazy but some clients are on top of that already! So those who book their family fall photos (and stick to original planned date) will get $15 off mini session and $25 off full session- Offer expires August 1st!

email or call to book! 708.670.1494 or amy@mamphotosanddesigns.com

Below are a few pictures from last years beach mini’s. Thanks and enjoy this lovely weather!!!!

love those mommies!!! I thank you!!!

Hey there!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful mother’s day! A special thanks to all those mommies out there that helped support my photography business! I couldn’t have done this without you! It is such an honor to take pictures of your beautiful families and I am so blessed to be busy!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

I enjoyed my mother’s  day with my family and new puppy Cooper! He’s such a good boy! He’s actually one of Bosco’s (my doggie that went to heaven 2 weeks ago) younger brothers litter. So there was a special connection from the start! Here’s a picture.

Other then that I’m adjusting to a new laptop—so files are back and fourth trying to figure this out! Use to coloring and settings on my old computer- I’m not always a big fan of change but this one was needed! Enjoying the freedom this MacBook Pro is offering! Here’s a few pictures for the last couple of weeks! Enjoy! Thanks Amy
