Hi!  I’m Amber.  I’m a thirty-something year old mother, wife, and filmmaker.  I’ve been making “films” since my Mother received a video camcorder for Christmas when I was 9 years old.  As a kid who moved almost every 2 years to a new state, I’ve always been drawn to this documentary art form of capturing the here and now so you could freeze memories forever.  I started a film club in high school which led to a scholarship at the University of Utah.  This unique scholarship provided an opportunity to live with fellow artists in an old home at the U where I earned my Bachelors of Art in Filmmaking and a minor in Design.  Everyone in my film classes knew I’d show up to class with a film that was inspired by happiness.  I’d make films about kids at the bus stop, dance students dancing to class, documentaries on love – some odd stuff compared to the rest of the content presented in class.  I decided to pursue weddings after watching one of my best friends’ wedding film.  I knew that this fit that style I had cultivated for so many years.  It involved working with people on one of the happiest days of their lives, and creating a film that inspired more happiness.  This all snowballed into where I am today, filming these beautiful weddings for over 1o years.  Shortly after meeting my husband, he bought me my first Canon camera. (Sorry Canon, I’m a Sony girl now.)  I have three kids, 8, 7, and 4 years old.  I have 2 sweet puppy dogs, and 14 chickens.  I enjoy an ice cold Dr Pepper and buttery popcorn while playing card games with friends. I snowboard and wakeboard, and love to hike and explore this gorgeous place where I live.  In my teens I traveled the world with my family, and while I still get the itch to go explore more –  I appreciate where I am now.  You can find magic where you are, and that comes back to my philosophy behind film.  Magic exists in the every day, and definitely on those special once in a life time days.  I absolutely love to find that magic, film it, and document it forever for you to enjoy.  I hope this gave you a glimpse of who I am, and I’m eager to get to know you!
