I’m Amy – but please, call me Aims – all my friends do! I am a portraiture photographer serving the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada! My blog features the photo sessions I do as well as the places I go when I travel. When I’m not taking pictures of people or traveling…I update on my “every day” life. 😀
My “every day” life changed significantly when I married the love of my life in July 2014
It’s been an amazing and exciting journey so far…I absolutely love being married! With so many changes in my personal life… my blogging will be changing and growing all over again…I don’t feel like the same person who started this blog back in 2012…and I’m not! (In the best possible way!) So please join me, stick with me, as I transition into a new style and new personal “niche” in my blogging life!
My promise: to continue blogging my photo sessions as well as my travels.
I’m on instagram and update on there more than here…follow me @aimsspohr
I believe in grace, in Jesus Christ the only one who knows me, who saved me.
In 2010 I was bit by the travel bug when I had the opportunity to go to England (30 Days in England features that trip!) Since then I’ve also been to Germany as well as visited various parts of Canada and the USA.


I’m so very thankful for the love and support of my (super awesome!) family. (It’s taken almost a year, but there’s finally a picture of us all!)

Hi again, just returning the comment favour (yay Canadian spelling!) and saying hi on your site. Great bio, really cool shots, and of course the love of Jesus is great to see. Looking forward to seeing more!
Aims..you have done great here…looking forward to reading more about you and what you are about. also looking forward to chatting with you over a coffee some day soon, i hope and discuss pictures of my family…pls email me..Jane
I have never understood why American English is different. I don’t like it! Yay for British (proper) English! Fabulous photography!
11 siblings? Wow! I had a crazy time with just 3 brothers…I can’t imagine almost a dozen! Your life sounds interesting, and I look forward to seeing part of it through your photos. — Rob
Oh yes…never a dull moment around here! 🙂 Having (almost!) 11 siblings isn’t as crazy as most people think though…Really, it’s SUPER fun! But I’ve never known anything different…so maybe it IS crazy! 😉
Thanks for visiting my blog. You took some beautiful photos. Looking forward to seeing more.
Regards, Ming
Thank you very much, Ming! 😀

Hi Amy,
Just curious about your impressions of Germany. I am an Ami expat living in NRW (married a German) for almost four years, and I really like it here. BTW, have you ever heard of shapenote singing? I am trying to start a regular group in that genre here…Stop by and look around, if you want. I am also an amateur shutterbug, thanks to my experience as an evidence tech.
C(h)ordially,
Chris
What a wonderful bio & beautiful photography! Love that you are shining your light through this talent! Be abundantly blessed! 🙂
Now I see the light! Your blog is awesome! I’m a collector, but you’re an achieved photographer! I’m going to have a blast checking your photos out!
Thanks so much! 🙂 Enjoy looking around!
