  • 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.

We love working in our studio but we are so grateful and excited anytime we get to shoot outside of the studio. We didn’t have to go far with this family. We ended up finding the perfect set for them right outside of our studio and had so much photographing them in the beautiful fall leaves. After spending some time there we walked over to the train station, then finished up their session with a few studio shots. Another wonderful day for ALP.

sweet newborn baby girl | san jose children’s photographer

As a Bay Area baby photographer, we see so many beautiful newborns but isn’t this little doll just the cutest thing! We love shooting newborns; so cute and cuddly. It is such a beautiful time for a family whether it’s baby #1 or in this case a sweet little addition. This is another family we have been photographing for quite some time now and we were so delighted when we got the news that baby #2 was here. We spent the morning shooting Momma, Baby, and Pooch “Booda” then were joined by big Sister and Daddy later in the afternoon for some family portraits. This is one lucky and very adored baby and we feel blessed to have been a part of welcoming this new baby into the world. To see some of our other favorite newborn photographs be sure to visit our Newborn gallery.

marissa and her peacock friend | san jose children’s photographer

Meet Marissa…and her peacock friend! Marissa is one of our favorite girls to shoot. We just love photographing this little beauty and if you have been to the studio this is evident! We have some of our favorite images of her displayed on a wall canvas as well as albums throughout the studio. We spent the day with Marissa and her parents at one of our favorite locations in the San Jose area. The weather was a bit chilly but gorgeous none the less. Marissa’s parents (Matt & Rosa) set up a little picnic at a nearby winery to keep entertained while we ventured off to photograph Marissa her in her own element…when we ran into this little guy. It was hard for all to keep focused after that but we were able to capture some beautiful images. See some of our favorites below. Rosa did an awesome job stylizing her family for this shoot, we couldn’t have done better ourselves. We are so thankful we got to spend the afternoon with this family. Not only are they good friends and clients but Rosa is a wonderful hairstylist. Maybe that’s why they were all looking so stylish! In fact, if you are ever looking for a hairstylist in the area Rosa works at a beautiful salon in Los Gatos called Parlour 308, and we can’t recommend her enough! To see some of our other favorite children’s images please visit our Kids Gallery.

skylar & aksel | san jose kid’s portraits

In 2007 we got the opportunity to photograph baby Skylar. Oh how time flies because here we are 5 years later photographing her baby brother, Aksel. We spent the day in the studio and had so much fun recreating some of the same images we took of Skylar as a baby. This really put a smile on mom’s face and took her back in time. Not to mention it also put quite the smile on Amy’s face seeing these mini Cub’s fans as she is from Chicago herself and does not see this too often in this area. We loved getting to spend the afternoon in the studio with these cuties. Studio sessions really allow us to be creative and capture a variety of images with different backgrounds, props, and clothing outfits. Too fun!
