I had the pleasure of being able to take advantage of Ambient Sky's mini school headshot session. It was so nice to get a different style of headshot compared to the typical one you see at the schools. And the price was amazing for the work they did.

We used Ambient Sky this past fall for our school & staff pictures. Amanda did a great job with the students and was relatively quick with the entire process. We will be using her in the future.

Ambient Sky did my brother's wedding almost a decade ago. Beautifully done! I recently contacted them to see about getting a replacement video. They were able to do so almost a decade later! I highly recommend Ambient Sky!

Ambient Sky was amazing for our wedding. My Wife and I had our wedding in Sept 2020 (during Covid), and Ambient sky (especially Amanda) was extremely supportive and professional. The pictures turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier with the photographs and the company. Very positive experience working with Ambient Sky
