About Virginia

Hey there, I’m Virginia, a Branson, Missouri photographer! If you found me while looking for Amy Fillinger Photography, don’t worry, you’re still in the right place! Amy Fillinger Photography has gone through some changes, which you can learn more about below. Welcome to what is now known as Branson Proposal & Family Photography!
I have always had a passion for photography and have been taking pictures for most of my life. I started shooting professionally as a second shooter several years ago and, in 2021, became the primary photographer for Amy Fillinger Photography. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients.
When I’m not in front of my computer editing photos or emailing clients, you can find me spending time with my kids, playing racquetball, listening to podcasts, painting, or enjoying the company of friends and family. Some of my favorite things include coffee, reading, kayaking, trying new activities, taking trips to explore new cities, listening to music, and working on my personal self-improvement.
I specialize in proposals and family photography in Branson, and I love every minute of each session, but proposals are my passion! As the number one proposal photographer in Branson, I find joy in capturing the pure love and happiness between two people during this special moment. It’s a privilege to be a part of such a joyous occasion and to create lasting memories for couples to cherish forever.
About Branson Proposal & Family Photography, formally Amy Fillinger Photography
In 2012, Amy Fillinger founded Amy Fillinger Photography, primarily shooting weddings and extended family sessions in Branson, Missouri. Her exceptional work caught the attention of Shutter Magazine, which featured her wedding and portrait photography. A few years later, she expanded her expertise to include proposals and quickly became the most prominent proposal photographer in Branson. She taught Virginia everything she knew about capturing proposals, and now she carries on the title!

In 2018, Amy began building another business as a travel agent. Virginia had already been working with Amy for years, second shooting or shooting video at weddings and proposals. As Amy’s travel business grew, Virginia became more involved in the photography business, eventually becoming the primary photographer in 2021.
As of October 2022, Virginia is the proud owner of Branson Proposal & Family Photography, formerly known as Amy Fillinger Photography, while Amy continues to focus on her successful travel business.
In November 2022, Amy and Virginia decided to update the photography business’s name to avoid confusion with Amy’s travel clients. Since proposals and extended family photography sessions make up most of their shoots, they chose the name Branson Proposal & Family Photography. Despite the name change, almost nothing else has changed for their clients. Virginia now handles all client communication and takes all the photos. She is not only a Branson, Missouri photographer, but also serves Springfield and the surrounding areas of Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas.
