Amy Wenzel of
Amy Wenzel was born and raised here in Michigan. She graduated from Western Michigan University with a B.A. in Art. She took only two Photography classes but she fell in love with Photography. After she graduated she started experimentingwith digital and decided to start her own business. She currently
lives in Grand Rapids with her little black cat named Other Kitty. Other Kitty.
Drawing inspiration from every thing around her she stated “I really love the simple things in life like flowers, trees, animals, the beach, a long walk, a great talk with a friend. I enjoy having peaceful days and doing creative things that are life-giving. My faith in God is the most important thing to me and defines me the most. I’m thankful for all the blessings in my life.”Her style of photography is fresh and innocent, infusedHer style of photography is fresh and innocent, infused with color and personality. It’s fashion influenced and has a
sense of vintage charm to it as well.
Amy also wanted to pass on some advice for new Photographers saying: “I would advise new photographers to practice a ton on non-paying clients, and to really push themselves and to really push themselves creatively. I would also tell them to raise their prices and have their work critiqued by photographers running successful portrait businesses.”

Be careful knowledge and inspiration can be addicting
“The best fashion photographers in the world they pore into there work because that is what they love, I love music I can’t play a lick, but I love music, and it’s no wonder I started shooting tons, and tons of bands. People who love children make the best children’s photographers.” ~ Zack Arias
If you want to be a better photographer find what it is you like, and love and try shooting it. Because that is what you will pour your soul into. Because that is what you will pour your soul into.
