I’ll be back.  Pinky swear. I’m just in the midst of growing.  Of healing.  Of God rewriting so much of me.  Of learning how to be more present in all that I do and create. It’s beautiful.  I’m grateful.  It’s hard.  It’s worth it. But…this.  This is the biggest why I’m not here… These two. […]

“She even lost her wedding photos.” I read those words and I just knew…I had to do something.  I can’t give her back her wedding pictures.  But I can give her the gift of a session and document now.  This love that’s carried through losing everything.  And if we can find her a wedding dress […]

I squealed.  Audibly. Upon reading her email and hearing all the exciting news I knew nothing could keep me from coming back to Wheaton again to document their engagement. Because…well…they’re amazing.  Gracious.  And just plain awesome. It all started in high school.  When tutoring turned into ice cream dates which turned into long conversations which […]

A few weeks ago I traded the role of photographer to become a client.  And I’m CRAZY GRATEFUL for that experience.  Not only do I now have pictures that mean the world to me (and pictures that I’m ACTUALLY IN with my kids) but I also learned a lot about what my clients (and anyone’s […]

She tried to set him up with her best friend. Needless to say, that didn’t work out. He had fallen for her.  And before long?  She fell for him. And what started as a middle school acquaintance soon became best friends who were ready to go through every step in life together.   Monika and […]

They had been friends for a while.  Nothing more, nothing less. Life hit and they walked each other through it. That’s when it hit them; they were meant to walk through this life together.  For all their days.   Emily and John, y’all rock.  So.very.much.  And I’m SO honored that I had the privilege of […]

Her smile gave her away. “So tell me about this guy”…I asked. There were giggles.  And stories.  And through all of it – it was obvious.  This man had to be amazing.  And…he knew just how incredible she was. After being so lucky to hear their love story as it happened, I finally got to […]

In case you didn’t see me leaping down the street yelling, “my new website is HERE” – there’s a new look to Amy Paulson Photography.  And there are a lot of people to thank. Approximately, 3 12 26 times I nearly gave up on all of this.  Between moving, really sitting with who I am […]
