Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, to display on the walls of your home, but for the years ahead—for the day your memory might fade just a smidge. For the day, when all that your children or grandchildren have to remember you by are the remnants of these artful heirlooms you've left behind.

Whether you're eloping in the mountains of Colorado or wading with your littles in the creek out back, I approach each session with intention through the lens of my creative eye. Your gallery will include a unique medley of emotive captures including both dramatic posing and organic moments toned with my signature edits that preserve the mood of the moment.


an Artful approach to framing your tomorrow's yesteryear.

"nostalgia is a privilege: yearning for our own memories is proof that we've lived a life worth living "




James 4:14, For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Looking to create an intimate ceremony without all the chaos and noise?

Whether its a quiet retreat in your backyard, or an epic adventure, let's capture the details that matter most. After decades in the wedding industry as a florist, photographer, and most recently as a mother of the bride, my perspective has changed.  So much money  and waste goes into traditional modern-day weddings. You spend months planning, weeks preparing and days assembling — all for a rushed blur.

If you're wanting to curate a day that's intentional and intimate, then you've found the right photographer.

Branding is more than just a handful of traditional headshots. It's the overall visual identity of your business or persona. Make your mark in the sea of your particular industry with imagery that paints the picture for your client base — a picture that won't soon be forgotten.

Together, we will curate a collection of images for use on your website and social media platforms.  Imagery can include anything from headshots, team photos, and creative stock photos to posed interactions with your product, service or client. Your vision will come to life.

I offer only gorgeous, archival-grade papers that are guaranteed to last for generations. All prints include the addition of a lustre coating on the print surface for extra protection. Almost any size available: wallets and traditional print sizes as well as custom sizes.

It is important to understand cropping ratio's and image sizes. For more info visit: hojpoj.com/cropping-guide

Lustre Prints

A mount is an 1/8" sturdy wooden substrate which your print is adhered to. This prevents tearing and warping. It is recommended that you frame a mounted print without glass, which allows you to view your print from any location without glare and also prevents under-glass moisture damage. Once you experience mounted prints, you'll never go back! I highly recommend this option for anything 11x14 and larger.

Mounted Prints

If you're like me and are running out of wall space, this offering is for you! What better way to cherish your memories than with a custom designed, high-quality printed heirloom album. Base price includes up to 10 double page spreads on thick, luxurious press papers which create flat-lay pages. Numerous cover options including leather, linen, wood, metal, acrylic, velvet and suede. Add-ons such as metallic paper, personalized foil stamping/embossing and gilding are available as well. Contact me and we can discuss the details of your preferences.

Custom Albums

Hi-res files archived on a gorgeous glass USB tucked into a leather pocket for your safe keeping. Print your own - for Personal Use Only. Your USB *will* include all edited images. 

Please promise to print your images and display them when choosing this option. Don't just shove the USB in a drawer for another day. You spent a lot of time and effort in making you and your family beautiful for your session, and I spent a lot of time capturing that beauty :) It belongs displayed on your walls, not on a USB!

WHEN WILL I SEE MY PROOFS?

For most sessions, expect to be able to view your proofs online within 3-5 weeks.  Sometimes your wait could be longer depending on my seasonal workload. Please be patient as rushing the editing process will affect the quality of your images. 

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO PLACE ORDERS?

Your online proofing gallery will be available for 30 days in which time you should place any and all orders. A reactivation fee of $50 will be required in order to reactivate your online gallery, after your 30 days is passed. Print/Product credits may NOT be used toward reactivation fees. Any credits included with a session will be forfeited if not used within 90 days of gallery publish date.

DO I GET PROOFS WITH MY SESSION FEE?

No, all proof images can be viewed online for 30 days via your gallery. If you would like traditional 4x6 proofs, they may be ordered via the À la Carte menu, or if you would like an entire proof set (1 4x6 of each image), special discounts are available.  Just shoot me a message!

WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENTS ARE ACCEPTED?

I accept credit cards online. Cash and checks may be used under special circumstances.

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS?

'Copyright Permissions' gives you permission to print images for personal use. For use on personal web pages, printing for home display, scrapbooks etc.  Commercial use is prohibited.  Hodge Podge retains any and all rights to the images.
NOTE: High-Resolution images are not included with your session purchase/booking. The additional purchase of a Digital Image Collection+USB will include images and permissions for printing.

WHAT ARE YOUR MILEAGE/TRAVEL FEES?

Sessions located outside of Preston, MO will be assessed a travel fee of $0.80 per mile as determined by the round trip distance between Preston and the session location. Travel beyond 100 miles shall incur a custom charge for travel time and expenses.

WHAT IS A MOUNTING?

Several mounting options are available, but I primarily use masonite mountings: 1/8" substrate which your printed image is adhered onto. This helps prevent tearing, bending etc. It also allows for the use of frames without glass which enables you to view your print without glare. I highly recommend and encourage you to mount any prints 11x14 and larger.

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

I did have a small, in-home studio, but am in the process of converting a building on our property into a studio. I will primarily use the studio for newborn sessions, senior work or small children, however, my signature style depends on the use of natural light and Mother Nature in most instances. So, the majority of all sessions are shot on location and outdoors. *NOTE: Studio sessions are not available until my new space is finished. TBA

WHEN AND WHERE WILL OUR SESSION BE?

I customize each shoot based on my client. However, I almost always shoot outdoors - in country fields, rolling hills, scenic overviews, deserted buildings etc. Almost always, sessions are scheduled for that 'golden hour' before sunset and 'blue hour' once the sun dips below the horizon. This is when I do my best work and how I achieve the style that is represented in my portfolio.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?

ASAP - I am first and foremost a wife and the mother of 3 children, so my appointment availability is limited. I book up to 12 months in advance, especially weekend appointments.

WHAT IF IT'S RAINING?

Beautiful images are dependent upon good weather and good lighting...and keeping my equipment in working condition is dependent upon keeping it DRY. So, sometimes it is necessary to reschedule.  I will be in touch with you prior to your session if inclement weather is in the forecast. Note: I avoid cancelling or rescheduling if at all possible. Wind, overcast, clouds are not warranted reasons for rescheduling.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Please, Please, Please do NOT wear matchy matchiNESS!! I love for you to wear coordinating colors and coordinate your styles, just not everyone in the same shirt please :) After booking, I'll send you more specific tips to help guide your selection. Wardrobe choices play an important role in how your finally gallery of images turns out. You’ll have access to my private client closet: my curated collection of beautiful wardrobe pieces for my clients to borrow for their sessions. I am consistently adding to this collection with pieces that offer movement, colors and textures that are fitting to my photography style and aesthetic.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY ORDER?

Most orders are within my possession within 3-5 weeks. If you choose the shipping option, orders are processed more quickly and should arrive at your door via FedEx or UPS within approximately 10 business days. For any orders that require design work, or custom USB's or other additional process, these time estimates could be higher.

DO YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS?

I shoot elopements and small intimate weddings with 50 or fewer guests. Prices are specific to each client's needs, location etc. (starting at $1600) Email me with inquiries.

 Á la carte  pricing

WHEN WILL I SEE MY PROOFS?

For most sessions, expect to be able to view your proofs online within 3-5 weeks.  Sometimes your wait could be longer depending on my seasonal workload. Please be patient as rushing the editing process will affect the quality of your images. 

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO PLACE ORDERS?

Your online proofing gallery will be available for 30 days in which time you should place any and all orders. A reactivation fee of $50 will be required in order to reactivate your online gallery, after your 30 days is passed. Print/Product credits may NOT be used toward reactivation fees. Any credits included with a session will be forfeited if not used within 90 days of gallery publish date.

DO I GET PROOFS WITH MY SESSION FEE?

No, all proof images can be viewed online for 30 days via your gallery. If you would like traditional 4x6 proofs, they may be ordered via the A la Carte menu, or if you would like an entire proof set (1 4x6 of each image), special discounts are available.  Just shoot me a message!

WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENTS ARE ACCEPTED?

I accept credit cards online. Cash and checks may be used under special circumstances.

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS?

'Copyright Permissions' gives you permission to print images for personal use. For use on personal web pages, printing for home display, scrapbooks etc.  Commercial use is prohibited.  Hodge Podge retains any and all rights to the images.
NOTE: High-Resolution images are not included with your session purchase/booking. The additional purchase of a Digital Image Collection+USB will include images and permissions for printing.

WHAT ARE YOUR MILEAGE/TRAVEL FEES?

Sessions located outside of Preston, MO will be assessed a travel fee of $0.80 per mile as determined by the round trip distance between Preston and the session location. Travel beyond 100 miles shall incur a custom charge for travel time and expenses.

WHAT IS A MOUNTING?

Several mounting options are available, but I primarily use masonite mountings: 1/8" substrate which your printed image is adhered onto. This helps prevent tearing, bending etc. It also allows for the use of frames without glass which enables you to view your print without glare. I highly recommend and encourage you to mount any prints 11x14 and larger.

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

I did have a small, in-home studio, but am in the process of converting a building on our property into a studio. I will primarily use the studio for newborn sessions, senior work or small children, however, my signature style depends on the use of natural light and Mother Nature in most instances. So, the majority of all sessions are shot on location and outdoors. *NOTE: Studio sessions are not available until my new space is finished. TBA

WHEN AND WHERE WILL OUR SESSION BE?

I customize each shoot based on my client. However, I almost always shoot outdoors - in country fields, rolling hills, scenic overviews, deserted buildings etc. Almost always, sessions are scheduled for that 'golden hour' before sunset and 'blue hour' once the sun dips below the horizon. This is when I do my best work and how I achieve the style that is represented in my portfolio.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?

ASAP - I am first and foremost a wife and the mother of 3 children, so my appointment availability is limited. I book up to 12 months in advance, especially weekend appointments.

WHAT IF IT'S RAINING?

Beautiful images are dependent upon good weather and good lighting...and keeping my equipment in working condition is dependent upon keeping it DRY. So, sometimes it is necessary to reschedule.  I will be in touch with you prior to your session if inclement weather is in the forecast. Note: I avoid cancelling or rescheduling if at all possible. Wind, overcast, clouds are not warranted reasons for rescheduling.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Please, Please, Please do NOT wear matchy matchiNESS!! I love for you to wear coordinating colors and coordinate your styles, just not everyone in the same shirt please :) After booking, I'll send you more specific tips to help guide your selection. Wardrobe choices play an important role in how your finally gallery of images turns out. You’ll have access to my private client closet: my curated collection of beautiful wardrobe pieces for my clients to borrow for their sessions. I am consistently adding to this collection with pieces that offer movement, colors and textures that are fitting to my photography style and aesthetic.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY ORDER?

Most orders are within my possession within 3-5 weeks. If you choose the shipping option, orders are processed more quickly and should arrive at your door via FedEx or UPS within approximately 10 business days. For any orders that require design work, or custom USB's or other additional process, these time estimates could be higher.

DO YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS?

I shoot elopements and small intimate weddings with 50 or fewer guests. Prices are specific to each client's needs, location etc. (starting at $1600) Email me with inquiries.

Frequently asked Questions

I care deeply about the details. From my communication and contracts to posing, lighting and editing. Not only do I strive for your final gallery of images to be a masterpiece, but your entire experience with Hodge Podge should be as well.

I am weird. I think most artists are lol. I use it to my advantage — Whether it's getting your littles to smile with my silly sneezing noises, or telling somewhat inappropriate jokes so your husband will loosen up. My goal is to make everyone at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. Sessions are for playing, exploring, lingering in the moments a bit. Never for rushing...well, until the sun starts slipping away, then we might consider accelerating our pace. 

You can count on a gallery full of artfully, hand-edited, moody imagery full of depth and emotion.  


I'll be your right hand gal at every turn. I do all the location scouting, finding the gems as each season turns. I've curated a client closet full of wardrobe pieces to help take the strain out of outfit planning. And, I'm always just an email or text away if you have any questions.

Speaking of comfortable in front of the camera — My style is a unique medley of candid storytelling and dramatic posing. Don't fret about what to do with your hands because I'll guide you throughout your session with gentle prompts in order to get the best images and your best angles.



What you can expect working with me . . .

unmatched attention to detail 

relaxed, fun experience

gentle prompts to guide you through posing

guidance and ease

consistent, signature style

If my artistic style and overall aesthetic speaks to you  — including the way I capture my subjects and how I edit my imagery.


If you want imagery that is a bit different than the average photograph — not a replication of the latest social media trend, but a timeless, poetic portrayal of your current season of life. If you aren't after the perfectly-posed, eyes-at-the-camera shots.


If you hold dear the seemingly insignificant, because you know one day they will mean everything — that crooked smile, the curly locks, the tiny freckles dotted across her nose. If you want a photographer who not only communicates with you about these beloved traits ahead of your session, but shoots intuitively in order to capture all the cherished details that tell your story.


If you want your images to illustrate your love and connection and evoke nostalgia, even if that means your hair is out of place or his collar is turned. You realize that emotion lives in the imperfections of the giggles and the whispers and the squeezes.

You value photography as art

You crave originality & the untraditional

you are up for an adventure and can embrace the chaos

You value connection and emotion over perfection

You care deeply about details

i Might be the right photographer
for you if...

If you are up for anything, whether it's laying in a field of daisies or splashing in the lake. You know letting your hair down a little (not just figuratively, but literally) will translate into art worth living.

-Mary P.

"It has been my good fortune to see the world through the Hodge Podge lens on several occasions. Amy brings a relaxed confidence to every shoot, quickly putting others at ease and deftly drawing out the beauty of the situation.  Beyond this rare skill, she possesses a rarer talent for stylizing a vision that embraces and enhances the  personality of her subject...be it a darling child,  a swooning couple, a precious family, or even a delicious meal."

-Sarah H.

" Girrrlll! They are so beautiful! You did such a wonderful job and captured so many sweet moments! As I look through the pictures and everybody standing around doing their own thing, I couldn't help but think, this is my family. I am so blessed. In the midst of normal life it's hard to see the beauty - it feels more like chaos! Lol! But these pictures give me pause and the opportunity to see it. I love all of them and don't know how I'll choos which to put on my walls!. "

-Shawna H.

" Thank you so much for the beautiful photos! You always have a special way of capturing the boys exactly as they are, their personalities, their energy...all of it! I'm truly thankful for your talent and the heart you put into your photos. We're lucky we get to benefit from it." 

-Kim J.

" I can't recommend Hodge Podge enough! Best experience with a photographer ever. She was amazing to work with through the entire process not just on picture day. She was lying in dirt and on rocks, getting dust in her face, standing in weeds to get the best shot possible. Thank you so much for these beautiful photos!" 

-Misty S.

"Amy is the most creative person I know. Her creativity leads to fun and unique photo shoots. She is patient with children and has an amazing ability to capture their personalities. She has preserved many of the milestones in my family's life, and I look forward to many more photography sessions with her!" 

-Amy B.

" I love how Amy puts a different spin on photography. We wouldn't trust anyone else with some of the greatest moments of our life. We have used Hodge Podge for Family Photos, Senior Pictures and Weddings and I have never been disappointed in the originality and craftsmanship of her work!" 

-Boyfriend of H.

"Holy **** those are amazing!
I'd be happy to do that again."

Can we speak in flowers?
It will be easier for me to understand.
