about Amy marquardt photography

I’m a special education teacher, dance coach, photographer, and—most importantly—a proud mom to three incredible daughters. I married my high school sweetheart, and together we’ve built a life full of love, growth, and creativity. My girls inspire me every single day—watching them grow, express their dreams, and become their own people fills me with purpose and pushes me to be the best mama I can be. That same love and intention is what I pour into my photography. I’m passionate about capturing life’s sweetest, most meaningful moments—the little glances, the real laughs, the quiet magic that often goes unnoticed. Photography gives me the gift of pausing time, and it’s my joy to give that gift to others: timeless images that hold emotion, connection, and the beauty of simply being.
