  • Welcome to Amy Lynden Photography! Our studio is known for creative images primarily drawing upon elements off the beaten path in urban and natural settings. We are one of the few state-of-the-art, non-traditional studios in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our studio, set in a warehouse in the Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose, provides a setting where we can shoot with studio lighting as well as natural light. We are a boutique studio creating custom portraiture based upon each individual client’s personality + individual style.

spring fashion show in willow glen

Quick little post with a few images and a video of a fashion show I shot at Willow Glen’s Garden Theater. This spring fashion show featured fashions from Bella James (beautiful women’s clothing) and Kool Kids Couture (super cute children’s clothing) and Kiss & Make-up (Rebecca and Richard are make-up experts). Monica’s Apt stylists did amazing hair! This is the second year I photographed this event and it always has such a great turnout – a really fun Sunday afternoon. Here are a few favorite images and the video… I am absolutely in love with the dress shown in the last image!!

mommy + me mini sessions | san jose children’s photography

mommy and me mini sessions mommy + me mini sessions | san jose childrens photography

We are very excited to announce the first in what might potentially be a series of limited edition mini sessions! In the spirit of Mother’s Day, our kick-off event will be a Mommy & Me series. Whether your children are 6 months old or 16 years old, this is a great opportunity!! I know… right now you are thinking “I need to lose 10 more pounds” or “I hate being in pictures” or “Why would I need to be in images with my kids?”. I think you know the answer to that – there is never a “perfect” time. Wouldn’t you have loved to have just one beautiful image of you and your mother? We promise to make you look beautiful and capture a great connection between you and your child. We can shoot a few solo images of the kids while we are at it, but the real idea is to create generational images. Bring your mother too! Nothing more beautiful than 3 generations in one image! We are also introducing a new line of frames for these sessions (shown in the image above) – they are really gorgeous and come in a variety of colors to match any decor. And guys, this makes a GREAT mother’s day gift, too!

To book the session, call the studio at 408-457-7997 or shoot us an email at info@amylyndenphoto.com.

baby luella | san jose baby photographer

What a wonderful day for ALP! This little beauty made our job so easy! We don’t have a single picture she doesn’t look cute in, which surely makes it even harder on her parents to pick their favorites but means we are doing our job well. We spent the afternoon in the studio then got to head outside just before sunset to capture some beautiful pictures in the fall settings all around the studio. We just loved working with this family, they are so humble and pleasant to be around! Thanks for letting us be a part of this special time in your lives Hillary & Brandon!

rose garden family photoshoot | san jose kid’s photographer

As a San Jose kid’s photographer we love getting to experiment with all kinds of different settings in this area for family portraits. We spent the afternoon in San Jose’s Rose Garden capturing this beautiful family at sunset and had a blast doing it! These kids were such little dolls. We can’t remember now who had the idea for Dad to throw his kids in the air but this led to some awesome shots and what we can assume was a pretty good workout for him too! See our favorites below!

rewind to the 1960s | Retro POP! | san jose fashion photographer

As a photographer, every now and then you need to step outside of your box and shoot something totally different to get your creative juices flowing again! This past weekend I had that chance and had the pleasure of participating in a really special event that took place in San Jose called Retro POP! This event took place at the San Jose Women’s Club (which by the way was a really cool historic building in the Naglee Park neighborhood of San Jose which would be awesome for future fashion shows, weddings, theater events, etc.) – it was the perfect location for this 60s event. Studio Glam, Park Place Vintage and Time Zone Vintage did a spectacular job of stylizing the fashion show models in decade perfect hair, make-up, clothing and accessories. I felt like I stepped right into an episode of Mad Men (which happened to be season premiering the following day). It was a great retrospective on sixties fashion, music, and art. DJ Derek See spun 60s tunes during the show and bands The Inciters and The Champions both played lively retro sets.

Here is a video featuring images I captured of the fashion show models as well as some of my favorite still shots…
