About Amare Clara Photography

Photographer & Owner

Hi, I’m Christy! I’m always on the look out for new and exciting photo shoot opportunities. Besides wanting to be a stuntwoman, being a photographer has always been what I wanted to do most, and I LOVE it! I’ll do my best to get you to laugh throughout your session, and help you to look and feel your best. I want to capture the essence of who you are, so that you’ll never forget this time of your life.

Why Amare Clara? Amare is latin for “to love” and Clara is latin for bright/clear – My goal is to create bright and beautiful images that you will love!

Senior pictures have always been my favorite types of photography sessions. Not only do I get to utilize my best jokes, but I love the creativity, focus, and one-on-one interaction that individual portraits allow. Another passion of mine is adding creative/composite elements to my images, which can really help your senior pictures to stand out. If you want to be hovering, have clones, make your shadow doing something different, change the color of your hair, have floating books around you, or anything else you can think of – Let me know!

Amare Clara Photography is based out of Colorado Springs, CO, serving Colorado cities including, but not limited to, Pueblo, Monument, Falcon, Peyton, Castle Rock, and all the way north through Fort Collins. If you have a special location in mind, let us know. I love the mountains, lakes, gardens, unique parks, and urban settings – anywhere bright and beautiful.
