BEHIND THE LENS

Meet Amy — San Diego Event & Brand Photographer

Wife. Mom. Entrepreneur. Champagne Lover.

Hi! I’m Amy Millard, founder and lead photographer of Millard Creative Studio — a San Diego-based photography studio specializing in event, brand, and corporate portrait photography throughout Southern California and beyond.

From the first time I picked up a camera, I was hooked — and after graduating college in 2005, I took a leap of faith to pursue photography full-time here in Southern California. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing heartfelt moments from intimate family portraits to large-scale corporate events.

Our Philosophy & Core Values

I believe great photography doesn’t just look beautiful — it feels real. My approach is rooted in building genuine connections with clients, understanding what matters most, and telling your story with authenticity and emotional depth. Whether we’re capturing your brand’s personality, your team’s leadership portraits, or memorable moments at a corporate event, we aim for every image to reflect your unique essence and purpose.

How We Help You

We work with:

  • Business owners & brands seeking elevated portraits and visual storytelling

  • Corporate clients who want professional event photography with impactful results

  • Organizations & nonprofits looking to preserve milestones and company culture

Our team handles everything from pre-shoot planning to delivery of stunning final images that help you connect, inspire, and elevate your visual presence.
