the creative herself

Amy is a Maryland photographer and creative director who has been shooting professionally since 2018. She started in New York with family, maternity and children's photography, and today she works from Bel Air with clients across Baltimore, Harford County and the DMV, with travel available all the way to NYC.

The creative director half is what makes her work different. Before any shoot she builds the plan: who the photos are for, where they will live, and what they need to say. That is how one shoot day turns into a library of content your business can use for months.

On the portrait side, she brings the same planning to families, couples and business owners: themed backdrops, help choosing what to wear, posing direction through the whole session, and a gallery of every good photo, delivered in about a week.

Create With Amy is a woman owned business, and Amy is one of the founders of the Colado Latino Network. In her words: for woman owned businesses, by a woman owned business.

Questions

Before YouAsk…

What areas does Create With Amy serve?

Amy is based in Bel Air, MD and works across Baltimore City, Baltimore County and all of Harford County, including Fallston, Forest Hill, Abingdon, Aberdeen and Havre de Grace, plus the broader DMV. Travel is billed by distance to your location and confirmed with your quote: $30 for 15 to 20 miles, $50 for 20 to 30 miles, $70 for 30 to 50 miles, and $90 beyond that. She also takes projects in New York City, where her photography career started.

What is a content day?

A content day is a directed shoot day of about 6 to 7 hours, built from a strategy phase that happens before anyone picks up a camera: a discovery questionnaire, then a content blueprint with video concepts, scripts, a shot list, visual references and locations. On the day itself Amy directs every photo, video and scene while keeping the schedule on track. A $200 deposit secures your date. Posting, captions and scheduling stay with your marketing team, so everything Amy delivers is built to hand off cleanly.

What does a session or a content day cost?

Photography sessions start at $400, with family sessions at $500 and couples at $450. A content day with 5 edited videos comes to $2,000, and a day with 10 videos comes to $2,750, since edited deliverables are $150 per video. The full photography rate card is on the Baltimore photography prices page, and the recurring options are on the social media content creation packages page.

What kinds of photography does Amy shoot?

Family, maternity and children sessions, headshots and branding portraits for business owners, surprise proposals and couples, birthdays, and business or special events. Every session comes with unlimited edited photos, at least 30 on a portrait session and at least 50 on a branding shoot. A family session includes an hour of shooting and one backdrop or location, and maternity sessions start at $450.

Do you photograph weddings?

Her portfolio includes wedding work, and couples regularly book her for the moments around the big day: surprise proposals, engagement sessions and anniversary shoots. Reach out with your date and what you have in mind, and she will tell you what is possible.

What should I expect on a shoot day?

Direction, from the first frame to the last. Amy guides posing throughout the session, keeps everything on schedule, and works from the shot list built in planning so nothing gets missed. Her direction is meant to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the real smiles follow. "Patient" is the word that keeps turning up in her reviews.

Why do businesses book a content day over a regular session?

One planned day produces a batch of edited, platform-ready short videos, enough to schedule weeks of posts from a single shoot. The strategy phase decides what gets filmed and why, which keeps every video tied to a marketing goal you already named. A regular session is the right call for portraits; a content day is for feeding your channels.

Where can I see more of your work?

The results section above shows stills from recent content days, and the recent work strip has family, engagement and branding sessions. Every service page carries a fuller portfolio for that session type, and her Instagram stays current between gallery updates. If you want examples from a specific kind of shoot, ask and she will send them.

What happens after I book?

Every project starts with a questionnaire about your business or your session goals. From there Amy builds the plan, runs the shoot, and delivers polished, organized files. Photography galleries arrive in about a week, and expedited delivery under 5 days is available by request. Photography bookings take a 30% deposit with the balance due the day of the shoot.
