Hollywood Glamour - Inspired by the sirens of the silver screen. Black and white, dramatic, and stunning.
Glamour - More modest than the boudoir style, just simply gorgeous portraits of you at your best.

What others have to say about Sydney Ambos:

'When I see or do something I love, I try to pass it on. I recently did something way out of my comfort zone, and I'm so glad I did. It started out as a Christmas gift for my husband, but ended up being the best thing I have ever done for myself. This girl, yes me, did a Pin Up shoot! I went in a nervous wreck, but I left feeling like a Goddess. No joke! Sydney Ambos is a photography genius. Her work is absolutely amazing! It doesn't matter if you're a size 2 or 22, EVERY girl should do this at least once! Call her and make your appointment today! You will not be disappointed!!' - Devan K.

'Thank you for making me feel beautiful yesterday!!!!' - April W.

'Sydney is an absolute doll to shoot with. She is very professional and always makes me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has a creative eye and knows how to make any woman plus or straight size look her best. I highly recommend her.' - Vivienne Lace
