Amy Ames

Amy is a wildlife, landscape, and adventure photographer based in Pittsboro, North Carolina—though she’s rarely home for long. Always eager to explore, she’s most often found in remote, mountainous places with a Diet Coke in hand. When not on the road, she’s a mom to two boys and the dedicated dog walker to a particularly high-maintenance chocolate lab.

My photography comes from a love of wild places and a desire to share their beauty with others. Through my images, I hope to encourage people to appreciate and protect the incredible ecosystems that make up our planet. I love inviting others along for the ride—to explore, to connect, and to help make sure these places stick around for future generations. I also lead photography workshops and teach an online wildlife course through Women’s Photography Circle.
