When you think of family photography, you probably imagine coercing everyone into their fanciest (and most uncomfortable) clothes and trekking to the local portrait studio for an hour of fake smiles. Well I want to introduce you to an uncomplicated, fun new approach to family photography. One that’s dynamic and delightful. One that documents your life as it really is. Maybe that means we’ll get a little bit muddy or navigate a tantrum here or there. But that’s alright! Because even though family life can be messy at times, that’s part of what makes it so beautiful. Together, let’s turn the mile-wide smiles, cosy cuddles, and even a bit of the chaos that decorates your days into art your family will cherish for generations.
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! A lovely person as well as a hugely talented photographer! She is also brilliant at giving direction; helping us to feel more relaxed & natural. She went above & beyond for us and we will certainly be booking her for all our future family photo shoots! Thank you Amanda!!.”
Our adventure begins with a simple hello! Just tell me a bit about yourself, your family, and
the session you’d like to plan. Then, I’ll be in touch in 24 hours or less to keep the conversation going.
On a brief consultation call, we’ll explore the options for your session and,
together, create a custom plan that’s best for you. Bring all your questions, because I’ve got the answers!
If you decide mine is the experience you’ve been searching for, a signed
contract and paid retainer will reserve your date. Then, you’ll immediately receive a client guide to help you
begin planning!
Together, we’ll choose the perfect location to suit your session vision and goals.
I’ll even do a little location scouting if necessary! And if you’re struggling to select outfits, I’d love to give you a
hand.
As your session nears, we’ll confirm the details and review any final questions or
concerns that have arisen. Then, all you have to do is get ready to enjoy a day with your family in front of my
lens!
With all the planning in the rearview, let’s have a great time with your family as
we document your unique connection. Embrace a little chaos and spontaneity, and just have fun with the
people you love most!
Just one week after your session, your full gallery will be ready and waiting
in your email inbox! Get ready to be amazed by the authentic smiles and sincere relationship on display in
your images.
Don’t let your images live forever on your computer! If you’ve chosen to
add prints or an album to your collection, I’ll do all the heavy lifting of designing and printing your products. All
you have to do is pass them around on Christmas for the whole family to enjoy!
Perfect for parents seeking a more relaxed, natural version of the traditional family photography experience,
this session will transform all that makes your family special into art for your home.

The great thing about lifestyle sessions is that there’s not much you
need to do to prepare. There’s no need to call in a cleaning crew or go shopping for new clothes. Instead,
think of activities you’d like to do together as a family, like planting bulbs in the garden or playing around the
house. Then, I’ll do the rest!

When I knock on your front door, be ready to have a great time with your family
as we document your unique connection. Embrace a little chaos and spontaneity, and just have fun with the
people you love most!

Ideal for families who love the idea of a “day in the life” session without devoting a full day to photography,
this collection will capture two hours of your totally unscripted daily life first thing in the morning or last thing
before bed—yes, you guessed it, right around the time your littles brush their teeth!
Imagine if the fly on your wall had a camera! The photos taken when you’re not staring into the lens or
posing for the shot are lifestyle photos. They are meant to preserve the reality of a moment—from
spontaneous laughter to even a little mess sometimes. They give you a window back into life as you lived it! I do of course offer some more posed family portraits if you would like them.
I love to give you a bit of everything! As I edit your gallery, some images will strike me as perfect for a
dramatic black and white edit while others will look best in vibrant colour. So, look forward to finding a fun mix
of the two throughout your final gallery!
No! And, in fact, please don’t! Remember, we are gathering to document your family and your life, not
someone else’s. The best way to ensure a true-to-you gallery is to enter into your session ready for anything,
game to embrace the spontaneity of a moment. Shot lists and expectations can hinder that approach, so let’s
just let your session day and your family’s dynamic lead the way.
Absolutely! I offer both—along with design services—as optional add-ons to all of my collections. I love
helping busy families by choosing the images, laying out the pages, and sending the albums off to be printed,
so you don’t have to lift a finger. Just promise me you’ll pass them around every Christmas and relive the fun
we had together telling your story!
"What can I say!! Amanda came to our home and captured some beautiful photos of me and my little girl. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I am so glad I didn’t put it off. We will treasure these photos forever and already have some of them printed and displayed in our home. Thank you Amanda for capturing such special memories for us!"
"I couldn’t recommend Amanda highly enough she perfectly captured my toddler and my family on our shoot. She is professional, calm and relaxed and made us feel at ease. We will treasure our photos always, thank you Amanda!"
We had a family shoot done with our little boy, and I was worried he wouldn’t stay still/not cry in all the pictures. Amanda was incredible with him (and us)… She put us all totally at ease, and got family shots of us that we will treasure forever.
If you are worried about having to “pose” for pictures (as we were), DON’T! We barely knew Amanda was there, and so the pictures are natural and perfect
Let's capture some memories you will cherish forever, be it the simple background of family life or getting out and having an adventure. Share a bit with me about your family session vision, and I’ll be in touch in 24 hours (or less!) with more information and next steps. Talk soon!
