I will point you towards wonderful educational resources, tried-and-trusted vendors, insight on how to interact with your clients, the best conferences and networking opportunities, marketing techniques that will make you look like a guru, and tips on posing, lighting and post-processing. Don’t waste any more time. Accelerate your business.

Testimonials: 

“Amber has been such a huge help in my recent venture into senior photography! She has provided so much encouragement to me along the way, and has shared a ton of valuable information to help me get started in the world of senior photography. It can be overwhelming starting fresh in a new area of photography, but talking to Amber always makes me feel so much more at ease, and she gives me the “I can DO this!” feeling. She continually follows up with me, whether it’s through email or via a phone call, and it’s so nice to have someone checking in on my progress. She’s always available to answer any little questions I have, and she has made my transition into senior photography so much easier!” Tina Jay Photography

“One of the most valuable decisions I’ve made as a photographer was to seek out the knowledge, guidance, and wisdom of Amber Fox. It was apparent right away that Amber like myself had the passion for everything photographic. Unlike me though she had years upon years of real world experience, insights, and tips for how to not only get started but thrive in the industry today. With her help I was able to make decisions regarding my branding as well as my website and online presence. She helped me realize the importance of social media as a tool for growth, and was a wealth of information about different techniques, pricing strategies, and information. With her mentoring I was also connected to a palette of tool, library of resources, and network of people. One of the greatest aspects about the entire experience is that Amber doesn’t just limit her mentoring to a phone call every once in a while. She truly becomes a fixture in your life making sure to do check ins, calls, texts, and emails. I genuinely felt like she cared about my success in the industry. Being mentored by Amber Fox is invaluable and given the opportunity I would do it over again without hesitation,”  Jeff Whetstone

“Amber has been a long time friend and mentor to me. I first met her when she was my Photo Teacher at La Serna High School. I loved learning more about my craft in her class, and after that year, I had decided I wanted to be a Photographer. We kept in touch as I went on to get my BA and MFA in Photography. I have since started my own business, as well as teaching Photography at local colleges. Amber has been a source of inspiration and knowledge for me over the years, and not to mention a fantastic, spirited, happy, enthusiastic, supportive and caring teacher, as well as just being an awesome human being. I can not recommend her enough!”  Ashley French

“It is a joy to work alongside Amber. She’s very experienced in her field and gives great, straight forward advice. She is very generous as she so willingly shares knowledge that has taken her years to acquire. Her critiques will help you better learn your craft as you invest time and energy into your photography. She has been published and awarded for her specialty in senior portraiture. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a mentor,” Holly Pendergast
