You probably have heard of Amy's work as a quilter through her quilting business name 13 Spools (and her book Paper Pieced Modern). You may not know that in addition to being an awesome quilter and pattern designer, Amy is also a fantastic, professional photographer. For many years, she has her own studio and photography company focusing on family portraiture. You can check out some of her work at her company's website Indy Family Photo.
Amy has recently started a new company to combine her love of quilting and photography to offer a much needed quilt photography service through her new company, Quilt Photography Co. Her website says it best, "You make the quilts, we'll take the photos".
When Amy launched this new business, she selected a few quilters to be Quilt Photograph Co Ambassadors. I jumped at the chance to help spread the word and see Amy work her photography magic on my quilts.
Disclosure: I applied to be an ambassador of her company because I such a fan of photographic work. Amy provided me with the photographs of the Modern Plus Sampler for free. All opinions are completely mine.
Nowadays, jurying of many of the larger shows (like QuiltCon and Paducah) is based on the photograph of the quilt. Your quilt could be the most mind-blowing quilt, but if you can not take a good picture of it, then the quilt might not make it into a quilt show. Amy provides crisp, color balanced flat shots of the quilt.
Amy also takes detailed pictures of the quilt top, quilt binding, and styled shots of the quilt. Her photographs are perfect for quilt show entries, books, and even as a keepsake to remember the quilt long after it has been gifted away.
What do you think of these photographs? I'm blown away how beautiful Amy made my quilt!!

Fantastic photos! And I really love this colour palette. What is the name of the colour of the background fabric if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteThese turned out absolutely beautiful! Hats off to Amy! :D
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are stunning and it's great to know that she does flat shots that are good for submissions. Does she do styling (with props) at all, too?
ReplyDeleteHey Yvonne! I offer minimalist/modern styling in package 3 :) It's a sleeker take on styling for the modern designer, and retains that white background (ideal for placing the photo with text and graphics for pattern design). https://www.quiltphotography.com/packages/
