Maternity PHotography
Christchurch maternity photographer
These weeks before your baby arrives are full of anticipation, change, and quiet moments you’ll never want to forget. A maternity session is your chance to slow down, feel beautiful, and honour the incredible journey your body is on.
Your maternity session is designed to be calm, unhurried, and focused entirely on you. Whether we’re shooting in your home or outdoors at golden hour, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and connected to the moment.
As a mum myself and a photographer with years of experience, I know how important it is to feel supported and at ease in front of the camera. Your session won’t feel staged or stiff, instead, I’ll gently guide you through natural, flattering poses that celebrate your bump and your connection with your baby. The result? Beautiful, timeless images that capture this chapter exactly as it feels: soft, emotional, and full of love.

"... 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!"
- Sophie Watson
"...She has a warm, bubbly presence that made us feel comfortable in front of the camera..."
"We have been fortunate enough to have Amy take photos for us on two occasions so far and I look forward to booking her again in the future! She has a warm, bubbly presence that made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her care of our newborn during his shoot was exceptional and I felt we had him in safe hands. The turn-around time was fast and her communication excellent. And the photos she delivered were absolutely beautiful!! Thank you Amy!"
- Aubrey Teape
"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's patient with the kiddies, and chatting with her feels like chatting with an old friend...."
"I've had both a Christmas mini and an extended family session with Amy, and we're in love with the photos! Amy makes you feel so at ease, and you don't feel awkward or weird while she snaps away. She's patient with the kiddies, and chatting with her feels like chatting with an old friend. Would definitely recommend Amy for family photography, and would happily book her again for another shoot!"
- Radha Ta'ala
"... 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."
