Branding for Small Businesses
Featured: Felted Sky
I know how much goes into owning a business, and so I absolutely love making a brand's online presence match their carefully crafted reality. It is such important work, as images are the way the public both sees and remembers your brand! My goal is to understand what makes your business unique, and then help you tell that story to the world. A few of my most inspiring opportunities have been working with multiple knit and felted wool studios, with adult and children's clothing brands, and with fine art & jewelry artists.
Published Books
Featured: Herbal Houseplants
Published 2021: Author Susan Betz, Photography Amy Kimball
When I was contacted by a publisher to photograph a book on herbs it was the perfect marriage of two of my loves - horticulture & photography. All images were shot on our farm: in my garden, my home, my studio, and my gracious in-laws beautiful home on our back 40 acres! I was responsible for all the styling, direction, culling and editing of the images. My next book is already in the works - this time focused on felted wool! As a proud sheep owner, I could not be happier!
Restaurants & Food
Featured: Pacific Rim, Ann Arbor
I was thrilled to work with Chef Duc Tang as he updated his website. Pacific Rim is a restaurant that treats clients and staff like family, sources ingredients from local farms, and offers food that is a delicious fusion of family recipes from Duc's heritage with a modern twist. It was easy to capture the heart of a restaurant with such loyal clients and outstanding staff!
Headshots
For Creatives
You may need a single great shot of yourself for a webpage, or a whole portfolio to boost your brand or career. I love to help you define exactly what you need so we can capture just the right images. Each of the AKP photographers are skilled at helping you relax, and look like your natural best version of yourself.

What sets us apart from the rest
No.1
Years of experience
We have worked with dozens of businesses, large and small. We will help you think through what your project, site, or social media feed needs. We consider details you may not have yet considered -image orientation, model releases, and a list of other potential headaches we can help you avoid. We will help you brainstorm the vision for your session and offer styling help throughout!
No.2
A business owner myself
I love working with other small business owners! My nearly 20 years of owning a successful business fill me with both ideas and compassion for where you are at! I know you are juggling a LOT and that photography is an investment into your business's future. I really want you to succeed and will work hard to help the world see the beauty of the brand you have created!
No.3
1500 square foot studio
At the heart of the farm is our beautifully renovated barn studio - spacious, modern, clean and flooded with natural light. The interior areas are all designed for lifestyle shooting, with additional places to change and a bathroom. The private & peaceful 70 acres surrounding the studio offer dozens of intentionally beautiful natural places to shoot - a pond, flowering meadows, a forest, orchards & gardens. Since it is our home, there are never the concerns of shooting in public areas - no strangers in your background!
No.4
Artful Images
Anyone can snap a photo these days, but not everyone can offer you images with the style, mood, and emotion that will grow your brand. We love to work with creative brands and professionals. While we can put your products on a white background and shoot, we prefer to capture lifestyle images that convey so much more. And when it's time for you to get in front of the camera, you can relax - we will put you in the best light with the right angles, and offer all the direction you need!
Process
1: Contact us with your project
Let us know the details of your project and I will reach out to you personally. We can start a conversation about timing, locations, and any other planning your session will require.

Once you feel like we are a good fit, you can book your session and get ready! We will help you think through whatever is needed - items to bring, clothing to wear, and a shot list if needed. Product styling is offered if desired and we will plan that out fully ahead of time.

After your session we will get to work professionally editing your images. You will have a gallery ready for viewing in only 10-14 days, (rush editing available if needed.) Your images will be downloadable, and come in sizing for web or print use.
