PC: Melanie Maxine Photography

Hey there! I’m Athena, and I’m SO excited you’re here! As a mom of two boys, a wife, and a passionate senior photographer, I know how important this milestone is. I believe senior portraits should be fun, memorable, and totally YOU—and I’m here to help bring your vision to life!

When I’m not hustling and editing with a coffee in hand, you can find me hanging out with my family, planning my next Disney adventure , or thrifting for hidden gems. I’m also a huge foodie (especially when it comes to tacos!), and I love scrolling through social media, connecting with people, and sharing my life and my business with my followers.

As a senior photographer, my mission is simple: I want you to feel  beautiful, relaxed, confident, and excited during your photoshoot. From the first consultation to the final edits, I make sure every step is personalized and stress-free—because senior year is all about celebrating YOU!

When you book a session with AMP, you’re not just getting a photographer—you’re getting a personal hype team. From the moment  you sit in the makeup chair , we will be your biggest cheerleader, making sure you feel confident, relaxed, and ready to shine. I’ll guide you through every pose, making sure you look your best, while also encouraging you to have fun and be yourself. You’ll hear tons of positive vibes, tons of “YES queen, you got this!” and a whole lot of “WOW, you look amazing!” because I want you to leave feeling like a MODEL. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to look back at your portraits and know without a doubt that choosing AMP was the best decision you made for your senior year.

Whether you’re looking for a creative, edgy session or something more classic and timeless, I’ll work with you to create a photoshoot experience that’s uniquely yours. I take pride in creating photos that you’ll cherish for years to come and that your family will be proud to display.
