Ambrosia Portraits - An A. Michael's Photography Company

Striving to capture those fleeting moments, rendering images that tell a little bit about the subject(s), or laughing out load at the mischievous antics of a toddler are what makes being photographers such an amazing career. In this blog we attempt to share tidbits of what makes us tick. We are guys and girls who love people and creating wonderful life style portraits of those people we love. Candid, sometimes documentary in style, and yet we always implement compositional continuity in our work. Love, laugh, cry if you will, we hope you enjoy what we have created, God Bless!
