About Amy

I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, to my mother Carol and my father Morty, and grew up in Dollard-des-Ormeaux with my older siblings Robyn and Corey. I’m also a proud aunt to four amazing boys: Sean, Mackenzie, Quentin and Conner.

When I bought my first DSLR — a Canon Rebel — in 2005, I fully discovered my love for photography. From then on, I looked at the world as if my eyes were the lens and couldn’t resist taking pictures of everything! Most people didn’t recognize me without a camera in front of my face. I’ve upgraded several times since and switched to Nikon.

Family

I live in Montreal, happily married to my love Trevor and a proud mama to our son Ryder (born April 8, 2021). I’ll forever miss my fur babies Chopper (who crossed the rainbow bridge in February 2020) and my old man Harley Bean (September 2021, at 13). They were also my inspiration!

Training & experience

I began my professional photography career in November 2010, and have guest-appeared on five episodes (three seasons) of the Montreal reality show La Famille Groulx — watch the clips here.

I earned a certificate in marketing from McGill in 2006, then went back to school in 2012–2013 for a photography diploma from Concordia. I regularly attend workshops around the world to stay current and keep improving my work, including:

• Workshop with Melanie Kellerman (newborn photographer), Toronto, 2015
• Baby Summit, Atlanta, 2016
• Workshop with Eden Bao (newborn photographer), Montreal, 2017
• Workshop with Alli Peck and Erin Elizabeth, Montreal, 2018
• Baby Belly and Beyond, California, 2018
• The Creative Uncommon conference, Toronto, 2018

Learning and expanding my knowledge is one of my favourite things to do!
