Frequently Asked Questions

Amy Schenk Photography is an insured, LLC and has been in business since 2008.
As a full-time photographer, my time is dedicated to serving you. I do not have any other 9-5 job. I continue to educate myself in the craft of photography yearly to keep up with the fast changes technology brings. Because I love being able to bring new fresh ideas and techniques to my clients. I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop. My advance skills help to elevate your images to the next level. While I am primarily a laid back individual, I love to get creative and have fun with my clients while providing them with an experience to remember.


I love color. I love imagery that will not only look great on the internet, but will print well. I love imagery that will stand the test of time and surpass any trendy "styles".  Bold - Vibrant - Timeless

I will photograph on overcast days, at sunset, at sunrise, in full sun, in dark places, on rainy days, on windy days, and more! That is why your session's location, the day's current lighting, & weather situation, essentially becomes part of your captured memories. I photograph both in natural light (sun) and I also use Off Camera Flash (available light). This is why I have showcased a variety of images with different lighting situations on my website. Your session is tailored to you, not tailored to build my portfolio.

I aim for perfect exposure when photographing. I refrain from overexposing known as "bright & airy". Blown out highlights & details in images need to be seen, such as the details on a wedding dress. I rarely underexpose, because while dark and moody images may look well on the internet, they do not print well. That's why my style is "True to Color". 


At this time, Amy Schenk Photography is not confined to one studio location. Amy uses many studio rental spaces across the DFW metroplex. For your convenience, this allows closer indoor locations to you as well as vast variety props & backdrop options. We also have an extensive outdoor location list that continues to grow. Amy also uses hotels, AirB&B's, and other venue rentals. Need Amy to come to you? Amy also has a mobile backdrop system which allows her to come to you at your home or office.


Absolutely! As a legal & Legit LLC business, it is our duty to not only carry equipment insurance, but also a general liability insurance policy. Please have your venue reach out should they require a copy of our COI. 


To help keep creative session fees low, not all sessions include a Hair & Makeup application from a seasoned professional hair & makeup artist. While Amy Schenk Photography encourages every client to consider professional hair & makeup, it is also understandable that many clients are self-taught & highly talented to do their own, and other's may simply be on a tight budget.


Booking is easy. After our initial consult, and when you have decided to book, you will receive an agreement and invoice. Once the signed agreement and invoice paid is received, you will be officially on Amy's calendar.

As consumers, we do not enter a restaurant & order raw steaks to take home to cook ourselves. We enter to indulge in the restaurant's atmosphere, unique flavors, & the chef's artistry in cooking our steaks to perfection. We enter to experience  service that we would not otherwise get by dining at home. Therefore, under no circumstances does Amy Schenk Photography provide the raw copyrighted files from any portrait session, events, or weddings that are captured.
