Your family photos aren’t just pictures for the wall - they’re a way to freeze the little moments that make this season of life yours.

The belly laughs, the wild energy, the cuddles that won’t last forever. You might feel like you're in the thick of it now, with long nights and days that feel like sometimes they go on forever, but the truth is, time goes by so fast. Before you know it, they'll be going off to school and you'll wish you could go back to the season you're in right now. That's where I come in.

My role is to capture the real connection between you all - while creating a relaxed space where your family can simply be YOU! Because the best photos don’t come from perfectly behaved kids or everyone standing still.

They come from real moments.

GET IN TOUCH WITH ME

So many parents feel nervous about family photos - worried their kids won’t cooperate, that everything will feel chaotic, or that the photos will end up looking forced...

But do you want to know the truth? It’s not about getting everyone to sit still and smile at the camera, or even perfectly curated outfits.

It's about capturing your kids (and you) as you are. The chaos, the laughter, the silliness, the love and everything in between. I want you to look back on your photos and remember exactly how it felt, and to see yourself the way your kids do.

Finding a photographer who really gets families shouldn’t be this hard...

My job is to gently guide the experience so it never feels forced - ALL WHILE capturing the moments that truly matter that you'll have forever!

I know how overwhelming it can feel trying to find the right photographer. You might love the look of someone's photos, but wonder:

Will they be good with my kids?
Will this feel awkward?
What if my kids don’t behave?

The truth is - kids don’t need to behave perfectly to create beautiful photos. It's about creating a safe space and fun space.

Having me photograph your family will feel more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera. I'll get down to your kids level, play games with them, and make everyone feel as comfy as possible so that they can let go and open up. Because that's where the magic and that's where their little personalities shine.

Since becoming a parent myself and photographing hundreds of families, I’ve learned that the best images happen when there’s space for kids to be kids, for parents to relax, and for everyone to simply enjoy time together!

Styling advice & prep to get the kids (and you) ready.

I'm your girl!

I first picked up a camera back in 2013, creating my very first Facebook page and putting the call out to photograph families. At the time, I simply loved the idea of capturing people together - the laughter, the chaos, the connection that makes every family unique. Back then, I had no idea photography could actually become a full-time career.

I put out callouts to photograph families for free, slowly building a portfolio and learning as much as I could along the way. What started as curiosity quickly turned into something much bigger.

Fast forward to today, and photography has taken me further than I ever imagined. I’ve now spent over a decade behind the camera, photographed hundreds of beautiful moments for families, and built a business around something I genuinely love - preserving memories that will only become more valuable with time. Along the way I’ve also experienced the other side of the camera myself - getting married in 2018 and building a family of my own. That perspective changed everything for me. Because when you’re in the thick of raising kids, life moves fast. The phases that feel endless at the time somehow pass in the blink of an eye.

That’s why photography matters so much to me.

It's not just a career - it’s something I feel deeply connected to. Every family I photograph is another opportunity to freeze a moment in time; the giggles, the cuddles, the personalities that make your family yours right now. These photos aren’t just for today.

They’re for the years ahead, when your kids are grown and these small everyday moments become the ones you treasure most.

MEET YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, AMY

"We booked Amy for an extended family session of 19 people from under 1 year to over 80. In the short time we were together, Amy was able to connect with everyone and capture some very special, and long-awaited, moments for our family. A sneak peek a couple of days after kept the fun of our weekend reunion going and built anticipation for our full gallery which we received just a couple of weeks later.

Responses from the group included “sensational”, “amazing”, and a lot of “love them.” Even the skeptics are converted with “Ok, ok, I’ll admit the photo session was a total hit”. We are all so grateful that Amy was able to travel and capture this weekend for us so, so beautifully."

If you're looking for a family photographer to make you feel safe and comfy, and who's going to capture you exactly as you are, I might just be the photographer for you!

i know how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera

"I'm literally speechless. I can’t tell you how much I love these photos. I’m obsessed. Usually in a photoshoot I like less than half (or I judge my face or body), but you have captured these in such a way that I feel gorgeous and stunning and loved and perfect. You are amazing - thank you so much!"

FAQs

WHAT TIME OF DAY WILL THE PHOTOS BE?
I get that sunset isn't always the best time for families because of bedtimes or other contributing factors, which is why we can be super flexible with when we photograph.

WHAT THE HECK DO WE WEAR?!
I'm not going to tell you to wear white tee's and jeans - that's a thing of the past! I won't even tell you you have to wear neutrals. What I will say is to choose clothes that make you feel good and that you are comfy to move around in. What feels good and feels like you will make the photos the absolute best they can be.

I’M WORRIED MY KIDS WON'T COOPERATE - WHAT IF THEY DON'T?
This is probably the most common concern I hear from parents - and the good news is that kids don’t need to sit still or behave perfectly for us to create beautiful photos. My sessions are relaxed and designed to work with your kids, not against them. There’s no pressure for everyone to stand still and smile at the camera the whole time. Instead, I guide you through little prompts and interactions that naturally bring out connection, laughter, and genuine moments.

CAN WE KEEP OUR IMAGES PRIVATE?
Absolutely. If you’d prefer your photos not to be shared on my website or social media, I will completely respect that.

ARE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?
Yes! Once your booking fee is paid to secure your session, you’re welcome to pay the remaining balance however you like in the lead-up to your session. If you’d prefer, we can also set up a payment plan that suits you. I also accept credit card payments.

WHAT IF WE NEED TO RESCHEDULE?
Life with kids can be unpredictable, and sometimes things don’t go to plan. Your booking fee is non-refundable as it secures your session date. However, if you need to reschedule, we can absolutely move your session to another date (subject to availability).
