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.

    Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

    Saturday, February 20th, 2010

    For the past two months at book club we have had the privalege of “Baby Chelsea” joining us.  Since the rest of the book club members have older kids we have loved being able to pass around a baby, watch her smiles and stare at amazement at her tiny features.  Today I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Chelsea and her sisters.  I loved the pink playhouse!  I was completely envious that I didn’t have one when I was growing up.

    A wonderful Sunday afternoon

    Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

    Back in October I was sitting around the house being bored on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  I called my sister and asked her what Katie and her friends were doing that day.  They weren’t doing anything.  I asked her if their parents would let me photograph them just so I could I have fun.  “of course”  they replied!  Then I called my best friend Angela and asked her what Truman was doing?  “Nothing”.  “Will she let me photograph her today”?  “Of course”!

    What transpired was one of the most fun days I had shooting in 2009.  Four teenage girls that were only 13.  My niece will be 14 next week.  I cannot believe how she has grown up on me!  So here are the wonderful shots of four teenage girls on a beautiful autumn day.
