AMELIA SHERILYNN PHOTOGRAPHY
HOW IT STARTED
How is everything suddenly so pretty?!
As a self-proclaimed amateur photographer based in the mid-west, I constantly find myself in awe of the moments I'm able to capture. It started when I upgraded to a new phone and played around with the portrait mode setting. To say the pictures I captured of my family are breath taking is an understatement. I mean, who knew they are just as beautiful as they are annoying?! I tried this newfound power on objects and landscapes. I realized I suddenly have the ability to make everyone and everything beautiful. I can make people feel the same way I do about something just by looking at a picture.
It's like a superpower. Seriously, I feel like I deserve a cape or something. Feel free to check out some of my work if you don't believe me!

Summer is fast approaching and I am looking forward to all summer pictures I'm going to get! I have been asked to photograph a friend's engagement photos and wedding. How exciting! I also have an opportunity to photograph school and club pictures at the start of the new school year in August.

Oh my goodness! Where has the time gone? Okay... so maybe I've been slackin' a bit on the website thing. But if you think that means I haven't been taking pictures, boy are you wrong! I honestly have no excuse for going almost a year without updating this site, and for that I am sorry! New photos are now uploaded!
I've done a few more portrait sessions (including family portraits and a newborn photoshoot, what a wiggly cutie pie!). I even got my hands dirty with some event photography. I have a couple of decent photos of the New Years Eve event, but boy are events haaarrrdd! People like to move, and the lighting is hit or miss. It was super fun though to ring (bring?) in the New Year doing something I love!
Sorry again for slackalackin! I'd say it won't happen again, but I can't predict the future...

As a newbie to the photography world, I realize I need to gain as much experience as possible. That is why I am offering FREE Senior Photos to all graduating seniors until August 1st, 2022!
About the Photographer
Amelia Sherilynn
Besides photography, Amelia also adores cats, acting, music, food, sleep, and her family. She graduated college in a scientific field and is grateful to say she has a steady job, especially in the age of Covid, but her true desire is to become an actress. She's been taking classes and has even been an extra in some of Chicago's tv shows! She still has a LONG way to go to make a career out of it, but she is just happy to have the chance to try. Actually, it's acting that brought her to photography. Without the need to film good-quality, self-taped auditions, she never would have upgraded her phone so soon!
