Landscape, food, portraits, and storytelling- on the ground or from the air.

Meet Amber Boutwell
I’ve spent the last 12 years photographing everything from construction sites and food spreads to portraits and commercial campaigns. I shoot on the ground and in the air—sometimes even in the dark (night photography’s kind of my thing). Everything I do is built to be useful, striking, and real—whether it’s for a brand, a business, or a moment worth capturing.
Where Amber’s Work Has Made an Impression
From restaurants and national lifestyle publications to small brands and creative teams, my photos are made to tell a story—not just sit on a page. They’ve helped businesses connect, stand out, and make a strong first impression where it counts.

Explore My Photography Services
I shoot drone, night, and food photography, plus a mix of other work that helps tell real, compelling stories.
Custom Prints
Bring the landscape, cityscape, or detail you connect with into your space. I offer high-quality custom prints from my portfolio — or we can create something specific for your home, office, or client gift.
WORKSHOPS
Beyond client work, I lead workshops in food styling, low-light and night photography, and visual storytelling — helping creatives and businesses sharpen their eye and strengthen their content through hands-on learning.
DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY
Aerial imagery that captures landscapes, builds, and properties from a fresh, elevated perspective — ideal for commercial projects and documentation.
NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
Low-light photography that highlights the quiet beauty of nature after dark from moonlit landscapes and starlit skies to long exposures in wild, remote settings.
FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
Plated storytelling for restaurants, publications, or brands — styled with intention, lit to evoke appetite, and shot to be shared.
ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Our architectural photography captures the essence of stunning buildings and interiors.
PORTRAIT & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Real, connection-driven moments captured with intention — including engagements, elopements, professional headshots, and lifestyle portraits that reflect personality and place.
COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
work with brands, agencies, and businesses to create commercial photography that actually works—images built to sell, promote, or tell a clear story. Whether it’s product shots, campaign visuals, or content for web and print, I focus on clean, intentional images that do their job without the extra fluff.
What my clients are saying about my services.
“Amber is an incredibly talented photographer and videographer. I loved seeing the passion and dedication she puts into her work from the first concepts to the finished product. She is good-natured with a great sense of humor and was a wonderful co-worker.”

This Was Supposed to Be a Test Shot

I’m checking my exposure or making sure we’re not about to get photo-bombed by a dog in a diaper. And then click — there it is. The test shot. The real one. The image that cuts through all the performance and lands…

From the Field (and the Kitchen, and the Sky)
Introduction: I shoot a lot of things — homes, burritos, humans in love, buildings mid-demo, and places no one thinks to stop for. Sometimes it’s for a brand. Sometimes it’s for me. This blog is where I dump the good stuff that doesn’t always make it to Instagram. If you like weird lighting, stories with…
