Amy Peterson

I am a native of Sandpoint ID, and have been blessed with growing up in the mountains of North Idaho which has provided me with great photo opportunities right out my back door. My love for photography started early in life taking trips with my family into mountain lakes and along alpine ridge tops, the kind of backdrops that many others never see. It continued to grow as I watched my children's involvement in the outdoors, striving to capture all the little things that helped make them who they are, the type of activities that can't be easily photographed in a traditional studio. My passion for photography has exploded over the years. Shooting a variety of subjects has helped my work evolve into very beautiful natural light landscapes, wildlife, ranch living and outdoor life photography. I am a graduate of Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, MT and strive to learn and grow wherever I can. I am a Certified Professional Photographer through Professional Photographers of America and also have my Craftsman Degree. While I love to photograph families, children, newborn and senior photos, my passion is lifestyle and environmental portraiture in rural settings. You will most likely find me spending time in the saddle, up on a ridge, in my tree stand or out at the barn with my camera in hand. My hope is to portray the lifestyles that many don't see any more and help preserve the rural heritage of our land.​ When not taking photos, I am teaching photography or enjoying time with my kids and grand babies.
