Amy Montgomery – Photographer :: Burlington Ontario Children's Portrait Photography » Ontario photographer "Amy Montgomery" shoots portraits of children on location. Here you will find glimpses of recent sessions and client inspiration.

I’ve decided to add a new post category called Q&A where I’ll be answering questions from both clients and other photographers. If you’ve got a question, feel free to ask! I’ll either respond by email, or post your question here so others can benefit from the answer.

Q :: Do you have a studio location?

A :: No.

hee hee! weren’t lookin’ for a one-word answer? … Here’s a more thorough response:

In these winter months, I do most of my shooting indoors. Of course, I’m always happy to be invited to a client’s home but that’s not what everyone has in mind. Clients coming out from Toronto, or wishing to be accommodated in last-minute tight-scheduling, or feeling like they just need a change of scenery may inquire about “where I am located”.  I don’t have a formal studio to offer up, so I find myself prepping clients (almost apologizing) for the fact that they are quite literally coming to my home. BUT the images I create aren’t “studio images” and my own home environment is actually ideal for producing the kind of images my clients expect from me. In these darker winter months, I can count on the light that comes from our wall of windows. As far as the experience goes, I’m finding that most clients seem to enjoy the relaxed and casual interaction of working in my space.

Here’s a sampling of what we’ve created in my living room… let me know if ya want to come over!
