Messages like this mean so much to me 🥰

“We had a newborn/family photoshoot with Amy and she was friendly, warm and professional. She made us feel really comfortable and was great with both our newborn and older child. The photos came out amazing and we struggled to choose our favourites as they were all so great. Would highly recommend!”

This is always my hope going into every session… that you feel at ease, that you’re little ones can just be themselves and that I can provide a gallery that makes choosing your images feel almost impossible (in the best way!)

So grateful to the families who take the time to leave kind words like this ❤️

Hey friends! A few of you are new here so I thought it was time to say hello and tell you a bit about me…

I’m Amy, mama to two, wife, and the one behind the camera.

I’ve been taking photos for over 10 years, working for studios in Melbourne and refining my art along the way. Running my own business now is an absolute dream!

I love capturing motherhood, newborns, and families of all ages and stages. The little moments, the big emotions, and everything in between.

Thank you for following along this journey and letting me share these moments with you ❤️

One thing I hear often from new mums is that they want newborn photos… but they worry their house isn’t tidy enough, their baby won’t settle, or they won’t feel ready to be in photos yet.

The truth is, none of these things matter as much as you think they do.

Newborn sessions in your home are slow, relaxed and built around your baby. We take breaks for feeds, cuddles, and whatever your little one needs.

All you really have to do is hold your baby. I’ll take care of the rest. 🤍

If you’re expecting and have been thinking about newborn photos, my inbox is always open if you have questions.

Another one from this session because how stunning is Lacey in that golden light? ✨

Christchurch has really been turning it on lately! Warm days, little wind, earlier sunsets… it really is the most magical time of year for photos.

If you’ve been dreaming of photos like this with your family, send me a message or head to the link in my bio. 🤎

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve photographed this beautiful family…

When a mum trusts me again with her family photos, recommends me to her friends, gives amazing feedback and keeps coming back… it means everything 🥹

“MY GOODNESS all I can say is wow!!! TYSM again 😍😍😍 Incredible and even more so w that wind x”

Newborn session with baby Beau ✨

One week at home. Beau slept, Louie supervised and Abbey and Jimmy made it all look beautifully easy (even if it doesn’t always feel that way).

So grateful to capture this season for these two.

One photo can capture a moment but a collection of them begins to tell the whole story…

What started as a game of frisbee on the beach quickly turned into running into the waves, splashing, playing and laughing together.

Narrowing this session down then choosing favourites to post was nearly impossible because every photo held something special!

These are the sessions I love most, not perfectly posed but deeply felt. ✨

Four years of our confident, caring and sweet Meadow ✨

She’s bold, independent and outgoing… but still sneaks into our bed every night.

She may be small but her personality fills every room. Her laugh is my favourite sound and she still calls her big brother “Tamin” (not Tasman) which makes us smile every time.

I treasure our afternoons together, going for fluffies or playing at the beach, my little bestie. I already know I’ll miss this season when school starts next year.

Being your māmā is the greatest gift 🤍
