"The days may feel long, but the years are gone in a heartbeat. Let’s capture them before they slip away."
A little about me
Kia Ora, I'm Amy
I’m a Christchurch-based newborn and family photographer, mama of two, and a storyteller at heart. With over 10 years of experience behind the lens, I’ve had the privilege of capturing hundreds of families across Canterbury.
For me, photography isn’t just about beautiful images, it’s about creating an experience where you feel seen, comfortable, and celebrated. Whether it’s the first days with your newborn or a golden hour adventure with your children, I’ll guide you gently while letting your family’s unique story unfold.

"... She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of camera..."
Amy was the most amazing photographer for our wedding! She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of camera. We both are camera shy, but she helped us with our positioning and made the experience fun! We absolutely LOVE our photos, our special moments were captured perfectly!"

"Amy, we cannot thank you enough for the photos you took of our family..."
"...but especially our girls. You perfectly captured their personalities and they LOVED every minute of our session together. The photos we have now will be treasured forever and we cannot stop looking at them (we have so many beautiful images to choose from - too many!) Thank you so much"

"... She helped create a relaxed atmosphere and made the shoot lots of fun and engaging for our kids..."
"Amy came to our house and took some gorgeous photos with our young family. She helped create a relaxed atmosphere and made the shoot lots of fun and engaging for our kids (no easy feat when they are 4, 2 and 6 months old!!). We were so happy with the photos, the quick turn around, easy communication and very high standards. Amy truly captured our family fun and we will definitely be asking her to take some more snaps in the future."

"...most of all thank you for being wonderful with our wee 8 month old!..."
"Amy captured our special day perfectly and we now have a collection of memories beyond our expectations! Thank you for your patience and guidance as we wandered through the Botanic Gardens to get all our pictures, and most of all thank you for being wonderful with our wee 8 month old! He stole the show! So so happy to have been recommended you, Amy... you made our day and all our families overseas are so grateful for your beautiful photos."

"...Cannot recommend her enough, she makes it relaxed and easy, is great with kids and has a lovely energy...
"Amy takes absolutely beautiful photos. We have now had 5 photo shoots with Amy since 2022 from our engagement, wedding, maternity to newborn photos. Cannot recommend her enough, she makes it relaxed and easy, is great with kids and has a lovely energy. Thanks again Amy, we look forward to the next photo shoot with you!"

"...We loved them so much we’ve just had another photo session with the extended family..."
"We were lucky enough to have Amy take some photos of our wee family earlier this year. She was amazing - great communication, super relaxed and somehow managed to get beautiful, natural shots despite the freezing weather and crying baby! We were even able to bring along our dog to join in! ... Amy was again so much fun to work with and handled the chaos of our big group so well. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be asking her to take some more snaps for us in the future!"
