Hey everyone!

I know I've been a little quiet on here lately, and I'm so sorry for that! Life has been a whirlwind, and honestly, I can't believe I'm nearly at the end of this incredible journey as I prepare to become a first-time mumma! Our sweet little girl is due in August, and I'm just bursting with excitement, love, and, of course, a healthy dose of nerves. ✨🌈

I'm wrapping up my final shoots this week, and then I'll be taking the rest of August and September off to get ready for her arrival.

I just wanted to say a massive, massive thank you for all the love, support, and well wishes you've all given me. I am so incredibly grateful to be doing what I love, almost 11 years on from when I first started working as a photographer back in 2014. It truly means the world to me.

With love,
Amanda ❤️❤️

I had the absolute pleasure of creating precious memories with this lovely family on Saturday as they celebrated their exciting journey of becoming a family of four and their sweet little Mia getting ready to become a big sister!

Thank you, Bec and Brad, for choosing me to capture this special season in your lives. I can't wait to hear of the arrival of your new baby in September! ❤️

I apologise for being a bit absent on social media lately; I’ve been busy baking our little one while also wrapping up my final photo sessions before taking a short break and then some extended maternity leave after my daughter arrives (which I'm now realising I never posted on Facebook just Instagram sorry 😅)

On Saturday, I had the privilege of capturing this beautiful family as they welcomed and celebrated the arrival of their sweet boy, Grainger. It was absolutely lovely to catch up with them. I’ve had the honor of documenting Jessie and Rob’s engagement, wedding day, their beautiful daughter Spencer, and now their journey as a family of four.

This is exactly why I love what I do. It brings me so much joy to see your beautiful families through all of life’s chapters. ❤️

Mandy and Bryce, your day is here! ✨💍 Cannot wait to capture all the love and magic that surrounds you today!

Delivery Day for this gorgeous pair!❤️

Taylah and Nathan.. where do I start? It’s been such a joy capturing your love story. Your warmth and genuine kindness are contagious, and I had so much fun being able to be a part of your special day.

I’m so happy you found each other - there's no denying what an incredible team and couple you guys make. Honest, determined, and compassionate, sprinkled with so much creativity (literally Tay DYI'd her entire reception decor - what a woman, and Nathan has been able to turn his passions into multiple businesses!)

You guys are incredible, thank you again.

Back shooting on the weekend at one of my favourite venues Dungog Weddings and Functions.

Alice and Rohan's wedding day was definitely one for the books, an incredible and unfolding story 15 years in the making and filled with a whole lotta living, adventures, and memories which I am sure will make the best stories for years to come.

Set on a drizzly afternoon in the rolling hills and surrounding Barrington Tops their day, really set the most incredible and romantic atmosphere for them to say 'I do.'

I would be lying if I said I wasn't obsessed with these captures, this day, the weather, and the scenery (rain and all!)

Coen and Kaylee's wedding was the epitome of relaxed, rustic, and downright fun. Held at the stunning Dungog Weddings, it felt like a world away, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

The day was filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of banter. Congratulations again!

Oh, how I loved capturing this precious little family! 🥰 Hugo is simply adorable! It's been such a joy to watch your family grow from three to four. Thank you for trusting me to capture these special moments with you and your boys, Nicole & Quinn. Enjoy the sneak peek.

On a misty, romantic Saturday, Taylah and Nathan, tied the knot.

I first met Taylah and Nathan about a year and a half ago at Nathan's sister's wedding. Little did I know, in the future, they'd reach out to me and ask me to capture their special day.

I still remember Nathan's proud mum sharing the exciting news of his engagement, and officially meeting the lovely Taylah for the first time when I was taking their family photos after the wedding ceremony.

These two complement each other in the best way possible and their connection not only with each other but everyone who was lucky enough to celebrate their incredible day with them was so so evident to me from the moment I stepped foot into their stunning venue. Timeless, authentic and insanely funny (literally I think I was in tears the whole way through their speeches), their day was nothing short of incredible.

Congratulations again to you both! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

Amy and Joel recreated their dreamy Tuscan elopement on home soil! Surrounded by their closest loved ones, they brought a little slice of Italy to those who mean the most to them. The afternoon was filled with laughter, love, and even a few slobbery kisses from big man Mucho 🐶.

Under a canopy of twinkling stars and the glow of wine glasses, they celebrated their special day in the most magical way.

Thank you beyond measure guys for having me document your celebration. Big love x

Beautiful chaos is what family is all about! ✨ I had the absolute pleasure of capturing this sweet family’s love and laughter in a place where they love to spend time together. From the cozy cuddles to the playful giggles, sprinkled with a little bear hunt adventure, chases and races... every moment was pure magic. Thank you, Kaitlyn, for trusting me to capture your beautiful family’s story and these little glimpses in time! 🫶🏼
