Murphy's Memories is a newer portrait studio, located in Statesville , North Carolina and serving Statesville and the surrounding areas of Lake Norman and Hickory . Murphy's Memories photographer Amy Murphy has been a photographer and photo enthusiast for about 7 years. After studying photography, Amy chose to spend a few years shooting and putting to use all of the knowledge she had gained so that she could reach the point to be able to offer this expertise to you, her customers. Murphy's Memories has been a dream of hers since then and she's happy to see that her dreams are finally turning to reality.

While working first (8 years ago) in film photography and black & white, and now in full digital, Amy is proud of her work and her studio. She was a manager of a local ‘chain' portrait studio for about 1 ½ years, a job which she loved. She enjoys taking endless photos of her daughter, family and friends. Amy loves creating unique portrait sessions, customized just for her clients, by avoiding tired posing and using new techniques. By using a combination of formal, traditional, casual and candid shots, she strives to capture the beauty and personality of every customer she photographs. Being a mother and wife Amy realizes the costs that typically are involved in a private portrait session and strives to provide top-quality, beautiful yet affordable portraits to all clients.

We understand choosing a photographer is an important decision. Your photographer should be someone you're comfortable talking with... someone who's willing to listen to your ideas and concerns so that in working together, you can be assured of creating a portrait that captures the full essence of the subjects being photographed. And that IS truly important to us.
