Timeless, heartfelt photography in your home or outdoors — for families who want to remember how it felt.
By Amy Oliver
Melbourne Newborn & Family Photographer
Hi! I’m Amy, a Melbourne-based newborn and family photographer with over 15 years of experience capturing honest, heartwarming moments. I document the connection that lives in the chaos — no awkward posing, no studio lights. Just you, your people, and the everyday magic you never want to forget.
Here for the Mother's & the tender hearts.

Photography that feels like home.
No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just honest, considered images that feel like your life — not a version of it. I photograph newborns and families in their homes across Melbourne, capturing the light, your family rhythms, and connection that makes each story your own.

You don't need to be perfect, you just need to show up.
Emily Mazur, Melbourne
“Amy photographed our newborn and did a wonderful job. The whole experience was really relaxed and Amy was so kind and gentle, which was exactly what I needed as a new mum. The photos turned out even better than I could have hoped for and we are so happy! “
From Melbourne Families
Jenna Densten, Victoria
“Amy is truly talented and brings real emotion into every shot. Her images are raw, real and natural. I literally shed a tear looking through her photos! I look forward to having Amy capture our future family milestones as her pictures really do tell a thousand words!"
Natalie Drum, Melbourne
“Amy is warm and kind, so very generous with her time and clearly brilliant at her craft. The photos received from our shoot are something we will treasure for years to come. They are natural, relaxed and so very ‘us’. It couldn’t have been a better experience. I’ll tell anybody who will listen that they need an Amy Oliver in their life!”
Katarina Britos, Melbourne
“Amy is a true professional and wonderful with children and babies, a true talent and I can see why she was so highly recommended! It was an investment that was hard to convince my husband on initially but afterwards all those concerns went away and she’s left us with a gift that’s worth more than money.”
Claire Swanton, Melbourne
“Amy has shot our family through all our new born babies (4)! She is amazing with our kids and somehow captures the individual personalities of each of them as well as the love between us. Her shots are natural, un-posed, and spontaneous and she works magic with light! We love her and we love her work. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
Tegan Mclellan, Melbourne
“Amy was incredible! The session was relaxing & fun. We were made to feel so comfortable! The images definitely made us Kim K ugly cry & will be absolutely treasured forever. We have recommended Amy to everyone we know & will definitely be using her again for future photos. A thousand times, thankyou Amy!”
Kind Words
Serving families across Melbourne
I photograph newborns and families in Melbourne’s eastern, bayside, and inner-city suburbs — including Collingwood, Carlton, Brunswick, Hawthorn, Glen Iris, Richmond, Malvern, Camberwell, Kew, Heidelberg Brighton, and beyond- no suburb is too far!
Pricing
I'm an 'all inclusive photographer' which means no hidden upgrades or emotional selling techniques. Know exactly what you're getting and how much it costs before your session! It's much more enjoyable for everyone that way!

Keep it simple & I'll do the rest.
You don’t need a picture-perfect home or a perfectly styled outfit for beautiful photos, either! No deep cleaning, no stress—just come as you are. Whether we’re capturing moments in the cozy corners of your home or out in the golden light of nature, all I need is your trust, a little light, and the connection that already exists between you, it's much easier than you think!

Meet your photographer
I’m not just a photographer — I’m a mother of three who knows the messy, beautiful rhythm of family life from the inside out. I find meaning in the quiet, in-between moments — a stretch of afternoon light, a sleepy newborn curl, a shared look that says it all. I bring calm presence, gentle direction, judgement free respect for the season you’re in to every session.
