Meet the photographer
It’s nice to meet you! I’m Amber Johnson, photographer, dog mom, animal rescuer, music lover, and someone who is always up for a challenge! My passion is taking photos that make people happy, period. Whether it’s animal photos, senior photos, engagement/weddings, or product photo shoots, my goal is to exceed your expectations every time.
I have a degree in Communications, Art, and Graphic Design – also, professional experience as a model, actress, and fashion Coordinator. Needless to say, I’m a great balance of fun yet professional, all the while passionate about taking great photos.
Beyond photography, I’m extremely passionate about giving back. If I’m not photographing animals for clients, I’m usually out holding a fundraiser for a rescue, or emailing/making calls to help save cats & dogs on death row. I’m absolutely blessed with the talent to take photos, and welcome the opportunity to use that talent to give back to a world that’s been so kind to me. Some of the causes I’m passionate about and donate a large portion of my time and resources to are: MN Boxer Rescue, MN Midwest Pug rescue, Secondhand Hounds, The Humane Society of the United States, ASCPCA, WSPA, Best Friends, & Farm Sanctuary. Know that a percentage of the proceeds from the work I do with you is going to a great cause! Yes, EVERY session I donate! (If there is a charity you prefer, just let me know I am more than happy to make the donation where you wish it to go!)
I look forward to taking your photo someday, please contact me to schedule your session today!

If you want a true “pet photographer” and not just someone who will take pictures of pets, look no further than Amber at Modern Life Photography. She is extremely talented and professional. Amber took the time to get to know me and my cat Furby. During the session, she allowed Furby to have some time to get used to his new surroundings and she was very relaxed. Her patience was instrumental in helping us get some amazing pictures. After losing Furby, I am even more grateful that I took the time to have these pictures taken. I am able to remember him with the amazing pictures Amber took of him looking his very best!!
