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.

    American Girl’s

    Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

    Blue eyes, freckles & the most natural smiles that I have ever come across.  This family had the “All American” look going for them.

    Emma and Lilly

    Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

    I have been wanting to photograph this family for a long time.  I was super excited when their mother approached me about doing something at their farm.  The farm had it all ponies, creeks, tire swings and hay bells.  A photographers dream!!  Thank you Anneke for a wonderful opportunity.

    Ahhhhhhh it is so nice to photograph in the cooler weather

    Saturday, September 11th, 2010

    The humidity is dropping and I didn’t even have to break a sweat to capture Sara & Brett’s beautiful family.  The boys were more than patient and I do not think that a tear was shed througout the entire shoot.

    Sarah, I love your family but you already knew that.  You guys are so laid back and just plain fun.  Thank you for letting me capture your family. 

    Jinky’s Workshop

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

    I cannot wait for all of my upcoming sessions.

    Look for some big changes in 2011 from me.

    Amy McMurray Photography will be closed August 27 thru August 30

    I will be attending a wonderful workshop over the weekend.  If you need anything I will contact you on Tuesday morning when I get back to town.

    In the meantime check out my latest of little Olivia.  I have been photographing her for three years now and I have to say that she gets cuter with age.

    Happening’s at “Amy’s”

    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!

     Cindy, Logan, and Owen.  For a couple of years now Cindy has wanted me to come down on “the river” to get pictures of her boys playing in the water.  Standing calf deep in mud, I was able to get these boys in their “rowdiest” attitudes.  I have a feeling that dad is going to love his fathers day gift.

    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!
