About Amy McMurray Photography

I am a mother,wife,daughter,friend and photographer. I am committed to myself and my clients to get the best photographs possible for you and your loved ones. I am committed to the high standards of the Professional Photography Industry. I am a member of PPA, and WPPI. I attend workshops and conventions throughout the year to keep the standards of my skills fresh and knowlege of "Photoshop" so that I can stay on top of the trends and challenges that I as a photographer find myslef constantly facing in the industry. All of my products are sent to a proffessional lab away from the "Tri-Cities". This is my full time job. I do not have a "real" job that I go to and pursue this simply to fund my hobby. This is my "REAL" job. Before booking a session I will ask you what is it that you are looking for? Are you looking for something for your wall? How big is the space that you intend to place your portrait? Are you considering an album of the session? What will you be wearing? I always recommend solid clothing, try to stay away from patterns, stripes, and plaids. I typically shoot all location. I love the outdoors and I am able to stay with fresh ideas outside. In the event of inclement weather, we will simply reschedule for another day. My session fee is $50.00 and is paid in advance to reserve the date. I will spend about 45 minutes on the average session and show you around 30 proofs. I show many images that are color enhanced, textured and many black and whites. All Saturday sessions require a $300.00 minimum purchase to hold the date.I am looking forward to hearing from you and getting to know you.

    Wow!  What vision she has!  This is by far the best career move that I have ever made.

    Monday, August 23rd, 2010

    Lots of things going on right now.  Make sure that you mark your calendar for “The Healing Hands Silent Auction” that will be held on August 27.  I will be donating some “goodie’s” as well as several other small local business’s in the area.

    September 21,22, and 23 is the “Anti-School Photo Session” at 6:30 in downtown Bristol.  These session’s will have my Limited Edition Pricing available.

    I have two Saturday’s left in October that I am available for session’s.  They are October 2 and October 16.  This is a great time of year to start thinking about Christmas presents for loved ones.

    I am now offering packages on a “High Resolution CD” and I have a new “Baby Plan” available.

    That is all for now.  These latest images are of my oldest daughter Grayson.  Isn’t she beautiful!

    I am looking for newborns.

    Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

    Hey guys, I am trying to build up my clientel for newborns.  Until I am successfully constantly photographing newborns on a regular basis  I will be offering “Limited Edition” pricing for newborn sessions.

    The details:

    Newborns must be within two weeks of age.  Newborns photograph best when they are still in the curled up stage and to do this it has to be within two weeks of birth.  Mom’s, I know this sounds stressful but if you do not wish to be in the portrait I will understand.  I will come to your house or location of choice.  Your house does not have to be in order.  I have had babies to and I remember how tired you are.

    Right before the session I will have you turn you heat up in your house so the baby stays warm while it is undressed.  I also need you to get the baby to sleep.  Another reason why I do this within two weeks.  Babies sleep all the time for the first two weeks.  The session will last around 20 to 30 mins.  If I come to your house I may move furniture around so that I can get the best light and backdrop but I promise that I will help straighten it back before I leave.

    Please call me at 423-646–6975 to schedule a session.

    Happy Birthday Nalan!

    Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

    He has to be the cutest one year old little guy that I have ever photographed.  Nalan’s first birthday was two days after this shoot and I suspect that he was going to have a very BIG turnout for his party.  Who wouldn’t show up for this little guy?  He is the CUTEST lil man on the planet!
