Hi, I'm Amber Dolyak...


I was raised in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley and grew up always being outside. Growing up, my father was a photographer and we would travel all over the country to different nation parks that needed to be photographed for brochures. We spent a lot of our time in Yellowstone and the Sequoias. These were the days of film where sometimes you had to wait all day for the lighting to be just right. It was an incredible & grounding experience to be out in nature all day and waiting for the perfect shot.


In September 2019, I picked up a professional camera and had a pivotal moment where I realized this is what I should be doing with my life too. Fast forward to present time and I've been shooting full time for the last 5+ years and plan on doing this the rest of my life!
