You know how everyone says “they grow up so fast”? Turns out, they were right.
One minute you’re rocking a baby to sleep, the next they’re rolling their eyes at you from the back seat. (Rude, but true.)
I know you want to remember what life really looked like — the toothy grins, the bedtime curls, the everyday chaos that makes your family yours. That’s where I come in...
I’m a Melbourne newborn and family photographer — and a mum to three wild and wonderful kids who keep me humble, tired, and endlessly sentimental.
When I first picked up a camera, I thought I was just making pretty pictures. What I was really doing was keeping proof — that you were here, that you loved each other fiercely, that your story mattered.
Now, that’s what I do for other families, too. No stiff posing. No fake smiles. Just real moments, exactly as they feel.
If the thought of a “family photo shoot” makes you sweat, trust me — I get it. Here’s the secret: the best photos happen when you forget the camera’s even there.
I keep things calm, fun, and child-led (with plenty of snack breaks). We’ll hang out, chat, chase the kids around, and let the magic happen naturally as much as we can.
I’ll never say no to a good cup of tea or coffee (bonus points if it’s still hot).
I’m happiest at home — barefoot kids, laundry piles, black and white photos taped to the fridge.
I believe photos shouldn’t look perfect — they should feel like home: warm, honest, and tender- I don't do fake.
Whether you're married, divorced, a same-sex couple, navigating additional needs, neurodiversity, dealing with loss, or just the loudest, craziest family on the planet—I'm here for it! Every family, in all its beautiful forms, deserves to be documented.
You do! That deep, everyday, bone-deep love you feel for your kids — the kind that sits in your chest and shapes your whole world. That’s what I see every time I pick up my camera.
My favourite thing is showing you just how fiercely you love your children (and how wildly they love you right back). It's like making magic!
Lots of photographers chase the perfect aesthetic — matching outfits, stiff poses, photos made for their feed. That’s not me. Sure, I’ll share ideas if you want them, but what I really care about is the real stuff — the giggles, the mess, the chaos, the big love.
I want you to have photos that make your heart swell every time you see them. The ones that remind you, years from now, exactly how this season felt — sticky fingers, soft cuddles, and all.
Because life with kids is never picture-perfect — it's gloriously messy and that's what makes it worth capturing- one cup of tea at a time...
A few of my other favourite things (in no particular order): Morning walks to my local café for my daily coffee, fresh sunflowers on the kitchen bench, and the simple joy of clean sheet day (is there anything better?). I’m also guilty of staying up far too late just to steal a bit of quiet “me time” — even though I know I'll regret it in the morning.
Co-sleeping and breastfeeding my girls are memories I’ll always hold close — the sleepy cuddles, tiny hands tangled in my hair, the way those moments made me slow down and just be. They’re some of my absolute favourite chapters in this wild, messy motherhood story.
I’m a total homebody at heart and love all things simple and comforting. You’ll often find me with a glass of wine by the fire pit, listening to a podcast while folding endless piles of laundry, or out on a long walk with my kids — pockets full of rocks and tiny treasures they’ve found along the way.
I’ve been a family, newborn, wedding, and birth photographer for a long time. Over the years, I’ve found myself in some pretty tricky situations—but I’ve always managed to deliver the goods. Honestly, there aren’t many things I haven’t had to handle, which makes me super confident that I can capture beautiful, heart-melting photos during your family session—even if your kids are having a meltdown!
I’ve also been lucky enough to witness some of the most beautiful and intimate moments in people’s lives. From weddings in incredible spots around Australia to the birthing suite, watching babies take their first breath and seeing mamas in their newborn bubble... it’s all been pure magic.

“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!"
Amy was so sweet and intuitive, it made the session such a wonderful experience and a real bonding time for our little family. The photos are magical and continue to bring us such joy- I get goosebumps every time I look at them!
I loved my pregnancy belly shoot. Amy made me feel beautiful, feminine and super comfortable. When our son Weston was born, Amy was there quietly capturing our birth story. When Weston was 6 weeks old, she was there again documenting life as a family of three. Lucky, we're with Amy!
