We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Griener and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amber, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind any business is to never stop learning. Always keep an open mind and invest in your business and education. If you continue to do that, you’ll continue to be successful!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started taking photos in 2016 & during the pandemic of 2020, I decided to invest in myself and I turned my hobby into a business. I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard. You will always have those ups and downs as a business owner but the more you invest in yourself, the better you will get. I’m a lover of love! Capturing those raw & candid moments is what makes my photography pop! Those in between moments that you don’t even think of catching, I’m still there clicking away getting all those details.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m from the biggest little city in the world! Also known as Reno, Nevada! There is so much to do here with some of the most gorgeous diverse scenery! Lake Tahoe is basically in the back yard for me! If you have a chance to visit, I 10/10 recommend Tahoe!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
When I started my business, I was very discouraged. I always had the thought “what if I’m not good enough”…. My fiancé, Chris, has been there since day one. He supports me no matter what and is my biggest hype man.
