Amber Shepp
Photographer
You may call me Sis, Tita, Aunty or Amber! I’m a visual storyteller - more than a photographer. I connect with visitors and locals to the islands of Hawai’i through story and photography. My photography experiences are enjoyable and comfortable for all. Not one session is ever replicated, and all photographs are\ professionally retouched by myself. I work with residents and vacationers to the Hawaiian Islands, and have taken every type of portrait imaginable. They range from high school graduations to couples, newly engaged couples, maternity sessions, headshots for business bios, corporate groups for company branding, and many more. I take the time to meet you and talk story as I learn about your lifestyle and priorities to make sure they come through as desired. I am also a lead and associate photographer for multiple agencies and collectives throughout the Hawaiian Islands and California.
