Black and white romantic photo of a couple in wedding attire, man tenderly holding woman's face close for a kiss.

Photographs that feel like your story, your emotions, and your connections.

 

 

Natural, bold colors that showcase connected, human moments. I capture images that go beyond the surface and feel as immersive as the memories themselves.

Meet the Photographer

Hey, my name is Amy Bendtsen

I’m a born and raised Minnesotan with a love for the outdoors & travel. I have traveled to 9 countries and counting!


Most people describe me as intelligent, stubborn, and utterly authentic. I am 100% straightforward, no bullshit (and yes, I probably will swear a time or two, sorry not sorry). I value communication and honesty - and you'll get all that and more from me. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and fully support love for all and will prioritize capturing marginalized partners - the more personality and fun different things I get to photograph, the happier I am!


I spend my free time with my dogs, books, and sewing machine. A creative at heart, I have always loved beautiful and artistic expression - and I can’t wait to share that passion with you!

Kind Words

“Amy was so professional, kind, and flexible! She made our first family photoshoot with a rambunctious toddler and over excitable doggo feel like a breeze, and oh my gosh the results were outstanding! We would recommend Amy B to anyone looking for professional photos, for any occasion.”

Kind Words

"We look so in love. Can't fake that!"

Mystery is not about traveling to new places but about looking with new eyes.
