“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”

— Edward Steichen

 

I’m Amaya!

 

Hi, I’m Amaya. Decy is my middle name, pronounced Dee-say. I’m a lifestyle and portrait photographer based in Lavaca, Arkansas, specializing in natural-light imagery that feels calm, intentional, and connection-driven.

My work centers on real connection rather than stiff posing. I guide sessions gently so nothing feels forced or uncomfortable, allowing space for authentic moments to unfold naturally.

My goal is simple: to deliver images that don’t just look beautiful, but feel like you.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually attending concerts, spending time with my two dogs, or assisting my dad with his DJ business. These are experiences that shape the rhythm, emotion, and storytelling approach I bring into my work.

If you’re looking for a photographer who values creativity, calm direction, and meaningful imagery, you’re in the right place.
