Hey girl - if anyone gets it, it's me.
If you would have told me years ago that I'd be a boudoir photographer helping women reconnect with their beauty and their fire, I probably would have laughed and said,
"Me? With a camera? Yeah right."
Back then, like a lot of women, I was busy holding everything together - family, work, life - and quietly putting myself last.
I knew deep down there was more to me than what showed up on the outside...
but between the chaos and the self doubt, it was easy to forget.
That's why I started Photography by Amber Carl -
to create a space where women could finally see what's been there all along.
Not just in photos (although yes, you'll get those!) - but in the way you feel when you walk out the door after your session.
More alive. More powerful. More you.
Whether you're stepping into my Grays Harbor studio for a boudoir session or traveling with me to one of my women's retreats to completely unplug and reconnect with yourself - my mission is simple:
To reminde you that you are breathtaking.
You are worthy. You are already enough.
And after we work together, I hope you leave saying the same thing I did when I remembered who I was:
"Why did I wait so long to do that?!"

I'm Amber

IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU

I love country music!  See #1 for one of the reasons why!  I also like a lot of EDM because I love to dance and just feel the beat!

Anything with a back arch!  It creates such a beautiful image.  Can I do it myself?  Nope!  My back just doesn't arch!

I have two teenagers so navigating these years has been fun!  Both in the real way and the sarcastic way!  I love their independence and opposing personalities.

My husband and I met at a country bar in Everett!  It's not there anymore but we've been married since 2009!

Can a boudoir session change your life?
Maybe.
But what I do know for sure is this: it can be the first step on a self love journey you didn't know you needed - or maybe didn't think you deserved.
I get it. I've been there.
Your body changes - maybe after growing a beautiful human, maybe after a loss, a breakup, a life shift that cracked you wide open.
And even though you're still beautiful...it doesn't always feel like you anymore.
That's why I created this space.
Not for models. Not for "someday."
But for women just like you - in the messy middle, in the in between, in the now.
The hair and makeup, the lingerie - those are fun, and they help. But the real transformation?
It starts the moment you see the back of my camera and think:
"Wait...that's me?"
That feeling right there - that's the beginning of self love.
My job isn't to change you.
It's to show you the version of yourself that's already there.
The version your partner sees. The version your friends keep complimenting.
The version you forgot was always there.
Because your body tells a story.
And I want to make sure it's one youy never want to put down.
That's the heart behind what I do.
Watching women walk in with nerves and walk out with fire?
That's everything.
If yo'ure ready for that kind of experience - or even just curious about what it might feel like - I'd love to invite you into my world.
Come join my women's only Facebook gorup for daily encouragement, real talk, and the kind of support we all need more of.
I'll be your hype girl.
I'll show you the truth:
You are already beautiful.
Already inspiring.
Already worthy.
Right now.
Let's do this together - when you're ready.
