Newborn PHotography
Christchurch newborn photographer
Those first weeks with your newborn are a blur of love, sleepless nights, and little moments you never want to forget. My role is to help you press pause, to create images that hold onto the tiny details and the deep connection you feel in this season.
As a mum myself and a photographer with years of experience, I know how unpredictable newborn sessions can be. Babies cry, toddlers wiggle, things rarely go to plan and that’s okay. My calm, confident approach means you never need to worry. I’ll gently guide you through the session, adapting to your baby’s needs while keeping everything relaxed and unhurried.
What’s Included in a Newborn Session
Every newborn session is designed to capture both the big and small moments that tell your baby’s story.
Relaxed, natural newborn portraits
Family and sibling photos included
Close-up detail images of tiny fingers, toes, and expressions
Gentle posing with a focus on your baby’s comfort
Newborn session in the comfort of your own home
I aim for every photoshoot to be a stress-free experience

"...Amy was so amazing and made the experience awesome..."
"I have never had professional photos done and it was the first with my baby, so I had no idea what to expect. Amy was so amazing and made the experience awesome! I had to reschedule many times due to baby being sick and she was so understanding. I have high expectations in general, but the final photos exceeded anything I could have wanted. I am so happy and thankful to Amy for making this experience memorable for myself and my son."
- Luana Riki
"... 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."
