Welcome!

I’m Amy Hoyt — founder and creative director of Lemon Wing — and I’m thrilled you’re here. For over 25 years I’ve had the joy of capturing life’s most authentic moments through photography, videography, and the visual arts, and I still pinch myself that this is my dream job. Off-camera, I serve as a mental-health advocate with a past life serving the community as a firefighter, developing resilience programs for first responders — I’m always seeking ways to give back to those who need it most.

Beyond visual storytelling, I also bring meditation, somatic practices, and nervous-system regulation techniques into my approach — teaching people practical tools for grounding, emotional balance, and resilience.

Over the past five years, Lemon Wing has grown from a one-person operation into a tight-knit team, each person contributing the same genuine Lemon Wing artistry and heart.
