Smile! Welcome Amy Brownridge Photography

Earlier this year, we welcomed Amy Brownridge Photography to The Center Building!

Amy finds The Center Building an ideal location for her business with its convenient parking for clients and its position in the heart of the downtown area. She values the visibility it provides for her business as well as the interaction with building neighbors, shopkeepers, and other entrepreneurs.

Amy specializes in portrait photography, focusing on capturing personalities and people. What began as a hobby over a decade ago — when her children were young — has developed into a successful business and creative passion.

According to Amy, an excellent client is anyone seeking a photograph that truly reflects their personality. She notes that some individuals may worry that their children or pets are too energetic to be captured effectively in photos, but she advises: “Sometimes chaos makes the best photos. You need to wait … instead of forcing the shot.”

From her website: “I create place-based portraits with a conversational vibe, and I love the in-between moments. I work to make images that feel like you’re mid-conversation and reveal personality and presence.”

Outside of the studio, Amy can be found making the most of Alpena’s beaches and trails, or on rainy days, curled up with a novel.

The best way to reach Amy is through her website where you can also find information about monthly studio specials. Check it out at: https://amybrownridgephotography.mypixieset.com/
