“Amanda came to our home last week for a newborn photo shoot with our 12 day old daughter. Her style was natural and relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. She has a warm and gentle manner and was clearly very experienced in dealing with tiny bubs. It was such a fun experience and Amanda’s photographs are seriously stunning! We were blown away by how beautiful her photographs were and will definitely use her again for any photography needs. We also received our photographs very quickly and there were so many of them!”   Lisa

“Amanda’s talent in finding beauty and interest in everyday life and people is inspiring. Her images capture personalities and shares a love of the world around us.”   Jennifer

 

“Amanda was so relaxed when we were rushing to make our photoshoot. She was very natural, warm and friendly and made our photo experience a breeze. With a fussy 2 month old and a not so compliant 5 year old, Amanda was still able to get some amazing natural shots and even made sure she got some of me with the kids (something that is very rare these days). All I wanted was one good photo and Amanda delivered countless amazing shots that I just cannot choose from. I look forward to capturing many more memories with Amanda in the near future with the whole family.”   Katherine

 

“Amanda recently photographed our daughter as part of a newborn collection and we can’t say enough good things. From the time we arrived, her friendly, calming and professional nature put us and our baby at ease and we were able to jump straight into different staged shots depending on how bub was feeling. The whole shoot ran very smoothly and her attention to detail shows in the wonderful quality of our photos. Best thing is Amanda prepares the photos in a number of formats so we could easily share them with family and friends overseas. Thank you so much Amanda and we can’t wait to book in our next shoot soon!”  Rosalie

 

“Amanda is absolutely amazing! I recently had the pleasure of having Amanda photograph my daughter at her studio for her first birthday. She also photographed my daughter’s first birthday party. From the moment I contacted Amanda she was lovely to deal with, highly professional and was always available to respond to any questions. Throughout the photoshoots, Amanda was so calm, patient and made the whole experience such a fun one for my daughter and I. Nothing was rushed and nothing was too much trouble. Amanda really goes above and beyond and always makes sure everything works in for naps with a little one. I was so surprised how quickly Amanda got our photos back to us. They were exceptional and my absolute favourite photos of my daughter so far. They capture her personality so beautifully and are absolutely amazing! Everyone has commented on them.”  Karen

 

“How can I describe just how amazing Amanda Naylor Photography in just a few words?! Amanda photographed our wedding (in September, this year) and as a result we have the most beautiful memories captured forever. Amanda worked calmly, efficiently and diligently, directing us when required and then, like a chameleon, blended in with the wedding guests to capture some candid shots – which we loved! Some photographers that we spoke to talked about their vision and what they usually do, but Amanda actually listened to what we wanted which was such a refreshing change! We preferred the more candid shots and Amanda was happy to oblige and as a result, we have a lovely mix of candid and posed shots. The photos were all edited and sent to us shortly following our wedding which was amazing as typically the wait for the photos can take upwards of 6months. I highly recommend Amanda Naylor Photography to anyone who is looking for a photographer to capture their special day. Whether it is a wedding, birthday or even if you just want some nice shots – I know that we will be asking Amanda to capture all of our events in the future!”   Gabi

 

“Amanda was incredible during our newborn photo shoot with our twins. The photos she took are absolutely stunning and do such a great job of capturing us authentically at home. I was a little nervous because those early newborn weeks can be a bit chaotic and unpredictable but I needn’t have worried. Amanda is so great with tiny babies and made us feel comfortable the whole time. The online album also made it so easy to share the photos with our extended family. It’s so lovely to have a keepsake of that precious time. I’d highly recommend Amanda, what a legend.”   Carmen

 

“Amanda has photographed our family several times now, we have trusted her with two newborn shoots and have our Christmas photos booked with her for this year also. We have loved every experience! She is fantastic with our girls and creates a very relaxed but professional environment which makes it easy to come back again and again. Her photos hang with pride in our home and we get compliments regularly as to how natural and beautiful they are. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”   Lauren

 

“If I could give six stars, I would. Amanda is amazing. Recently we engaged Amanda to take family photos for the first time in 15 years. After our first appointment was rained off, we dragged the recalcitrant and awkward young people to the local headland for an evening photo shoot. Amanda was superb to work with. She instantly had us laughing and then took loads of photos of us. Today, and only 4 days later, we got the online gallery. The photos were beautiful. I have no idea how she turned our nervous, wooden and unphotogenic family into these amazing images, but she worked miracles. It fair brought a tear to my eye. So in review, if you want photos for any event, Amanda is brilliant, super to work with and her photos are amazing! Don’t look anywhere else.”    Nick

 

“Amanda was so professional and warm! She was great with our 3 kids (including our crazy one year old) and her photos are beautiful.”    Hailey

 

 

“I recently had Amanda at our corporate event and she was amazing. Captured our event and brand beautifully. A true professional highly recommended. Thank you Amanda!”   Holly

 

“We had a fabulous experience with Amanda, and she took some stunning shots of my family down in Narrabeen. We had 3 young children with us and she was amazing with them, really engaging them and managing to get some beautiful shots despite how hard they were to work with. Amanda is very talented, highly recommend.”   Laura

 

“Amanda is amazing! We have done 2 shoots with her, one when my daughter was 9 months old and the other a cake smash shoot for her 1st Birthday. Amanda is so down to earth, calming and immediately put my little girl at ease – she’s patient and fun too. The pics are even better than I could have imagined and we shall use Amanda for all family pics in the future. Highly recommend her!”   Jodie

 

“Amanda is phenomenal! So good with children and a fantastic photographer. She is also kind and generous in every sense of the word. I would not go anywhere else for family photos. Amanda’s photo editing is also very subtle. The photos are improved but don’t look over saturated like a real estate advert!”   Daniel

 

“We recently had a newborn shoot with Amanda …  and with 3 boys under 3, it was always going to be a challenge! But Amanda was incredibly patient and so good with the kids that we were able to get some amazing shots of the whole family. She was extremely professional throughout the whole process, and I could not be more thrilled with the end result. Would definitely recommend her and use her again.”   Lindsay

 

“My wife and I received a wonderful Christmas gift from our adult children – a family photo session with Amanda. She spent the afternoon at our home, photographing three generations of our family, all together and in separate groups, in formal and informal situations. The results are wonderful photos which we will treasure forever. It is probably the best Christmas present I’ve ever had. Thank you, Amanda.”   Tim

 

 

“Love Amanda’s photography wouldn’t go anywhere else. If I could give more stars I definitely would!!! She has done multiple sessions for my family including Christmas and 1st birthday smash photo shoots. She is so welcoming and friendly every time and has so much patience with the younger ones. Definitely the best photographer on the Northern Beaches, highly recommend!!”   Emma

 

“We recently had a newborn photo shoot with Amanda and had a wonderful experience. Amanda is a true professional and helped capture so many beautiful moments for us as a new family. Amanda gave us plenty of time to settle our baby in between shots and was very supportive of us including special pieces into the photos. We’re looking forward to working with Amanda again in the future.”   Natalie

 

“Amanda’s warm and caring nature made it easy for my girls to connect with her and feel comfortable during the children photoshoot. She’s a natural with kids and it really comes through in her photography – gorgeous photos. The photo packages are easy to understand and affordable. No hidden fees. We will definitely be using Amanda again in future!”   Kiki

“We’ve just completed the Bloom mini session with our girls and can highly recommended Amanda.

It’s great to have some professional pictures of the girls and the flower background for the shoot looks amazing.”   Rosemarijn

 

“Highly recommend working with Amanda to capture those special occasions/milestones. We booked a newborn photoshoot involving our two year old son as well and were incredibly happy with all aspects of the photoshoot including the end result.

“Amanda captured the most beautiful photos of our family. We were really impressed with her communication, easy going manner with our boys and prompt photo delivery. Thank you Amanda – we have waited years to get family photos taken, and are very glad to have chosen you as our wonderful photographer! ”   Jane

 

“Amanda is the perfect person if you want to get amazing photographs. We used her for our newborn photo shoot and the whole experience was seamless. As first time parents we were very nervous and still learning about our little one. She made us feel so welcome and comfortable in her home, she even welcomed our puppy dog Charlie. The photos are amazing and exceeded my expectations! Can’t wait to use Amanda in the future for family shoots! Thank you again Amanda!”   Kate

 

“We were gifted a mini shoot with Amanda for our first born. It was such an easy shoot, very relaxed and Amanda had already scoped out a beautiful area on the Northern Beaches to capture exactly what we wanted! The final photos are beautiful too, great colour, perfect lighting, and captured the sweet little moments of me and my little one. A pleasure to work with Amanda, and I love sharing her photos with all our family and friends.”   Adelaide

 

“I would highly recommend Amanda as she was so lovely to deal with and made the process of newborn photos a breeze. The flexibility in dates and time before the appointment as well as the flexibility during the shoot to enable bub to feed and sleep. The photos were stunning and we’ve had so many compliments. For myself and my partner who hate photos we were guided by Amanda to create beautiful photos with bub. So glad we chose Amanda to capture the special newborn time”   Alana

 

“We had a great children’s session with Amanda. Her communication prior to the shoot was friendly and professional. She worked with us on location and scouted it out beforehand to ensure the best light. She was right on time for our meet up and put my kids at ease straight away, remembering their names. My toddler had a meltdown on the way there and I was worried we’d get no decent pics but she really took to Amanda and the end result was a selection of wonderful pics that we’ll treasure. I would definitely go back to Amanda and will likely book again in future. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly.”   Cathy

 

“We can’t thank you enough Amanda for capturing this incredibly precious time for our family. You came into our home and managed to allow us all to feel at ease whilst you took photos! You captured each member of our family and it was so special to have this done in our own home. We absolutely LOVE the photos and would highly recommend you to any future families – so worth it! Thank you so much.”   Sami

 

“I can’t recommend Amanda enough. She is so good at what she does! She was so patient with my little boy and got the most amazing shots! She’s so lovely and makes you feel so comfortable and part of her family when you arrive at her place. She turned our photos around so quickly and they’re so beautiful and I absolutely adore them! I can’t wait for our Christmas shoot. If you’re thinking about having photos done with Amanda, do it! You won’t be sorry!”   Tarryn

 

“Amanda Naylor Photography provides beautiful professional photos while making her subjects feel relaxed and comfortable. Amanda is a passionate photographer and it certainly shows in her gorgeous images.”   Kerry-Anne

 

“We organised in October to have Amanda take photos of our two daughters and she was incredible – patient, engaging, and so creative. The resulting pictures are now making their way around the world as Christmas cards and gifts for friends both young & old. We can’t recommend Amanda enough, and will make this an annual moment.”   Kate

 

“Amanda has been photographing my family for over 2 years now. We have done a few Christmas sessions and most recently we have done the newborn/family session in our own home to welcome our new baby. It is always tricky photographing a toddler but I feel as though it’s never too much trouble for Amanda. Not only is she a wonderful warm person she is also an excellent photographer. Her photos are relaxed and somehow even make this tired mum look pretty good. Everyone always comments on our photos. We will continue to use Amanda in the future.”   Stacey

 

“Beautiful experience with Amanda doing both my maternity shoot and 1 year old cake smash (a year later). Both times Amanda handled the photo shoots professionally and patience with all 4 of my boys in the photos! Not to mention the super cute images and cherished memories from the photo shoot. Highly recommended! x”   Luisa

 

“Amanda welcomed us into her studio and from the first minute made us feel relaxed and comfortable.

“It took me years to finally getting around to having my teenage girls photos done. We finally did organise a time and I am absolutely thrilled with them. Amanda’s beautiful calm and relaxed nature made the girls relax immediately and the photographs are beautiful. They brought a tear to my eye when I saw them. I cannot recommend Amanda enough.”   Helen

 

“Amanda was amazing for our newborn shoot! Even though we were tired from sleepless nights, we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time.

Highly recommend!”   Liz

“We booked Amanda to take photos of our newborn Coco and we’re so happy with the result! Amanda came to our own home which was an added bonus and her energy around Coco was just amazing. We had so much fun shooting the photos and then when we received the finished photos we were blown away. They were exactly what we wanted and we will cherish them forever. I would highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking at capturing precious moments.”   Emma

 

“We had a fantastic photography session with Amanda. She kindly travelled 2 hours south of Sydney to join and capture the love of 3 generations of family. She is clearly a very experienced photographer with an obvious passion for her work. She made the whole experience exciting and fun, with great attention to detail. We’d highly recommend Amanda Naylor Photography and will most definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Amanda, you’re a legend! X”   Clare

“Amanda is a brilliant photographer! Amanda captured beautiful photos of our young family once our newborn arrived.  We really enjoyed our session. It was relaxed and comfortable. Amanda was even able to charm our 2 year old!  The packages Amanda provides are fantastic. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”   Logika

 

“Booking my son in for his first birthday Cake Smash was one of the best things I’ve done! Amanda is so fun loving and easy going, we all just had a ball during the photo shoot! My baby had so much fun and the photos and slide show we received turned out amazing! It was just beautiful watching his reaction to the cake and I will cherish these memories forever! I love Amanda’s style of photography and am so grateful for the lovely job she did.”   Tennille

 

 

“The favourite part of the wedding was that you captured such stunning, natural shots and you seemed to be here, there and everywhere taking all the photos that mattered without anyone noticing. The online gallery was sensational and available so soon after the wedding – it was amazing!”  Lauren

 

“Amanda is absolutely amazing! We took our two week old boy to her house for a photo shoot and everything turned out perfect! The finished product is outstanding and the ability to share everything with our friends and family is so easy. We highly recommend Amanda and we look forward to more shoots with her.”   Brendan

 

“We have used Amanda to capture our son’s first birthday cake smash, and again for a Christmas mini session and most recently for a family newborn shoot to welcome our second son. She is very easy to work with and produces quality photos that are easy to access (I love the mobile apps!). I am not a fan of the “posed and airbrushed” photo, so Amanda’s natural style suits us perfectly. We will no doubt keep using Amanda as our “go to” family photographer and have no hesitation recommending her to capture natural, gorgeous photos of your family.”   Lisa

 

“Highly recommend! Amanda has captured our special family moments perfectly. She has a professional approach that puts everyone at instant ease and has a great eye. We have worked with Amanda on several occasions and will continue to do so. Thanks Amanda”   Lauren

“We recently used Amanda for our Baby Girl Zara’s first family photo shoot after a recommendation from a friend, and we couldn’t have been happier. It was such a relaxed photoshoot and we felt so comfortable with Amanda straight away and she really captured our family in the photos. I would highly recommend Amanda, you won’t be disappointed.”   Renee

 

“Amanda did a mini photo shoot for us in July and we absolutely loved both her and her work. She was referred to us by a family member who has children of a similar age. Amanda welcomed us in her home and made everyone feel at ease. The shoot yielded beautiful shots that show my children’s personalities and we will treasure them.  Amanda is easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot, the day of, and when she delivered the images.  She is super responsive over text and email, and spent more time with us than expected due to wanting to get the best shots, which I really appreciated.  In person, Amanda is really kind and friendly, and my 3-year old was immediately comfortable around her. All in all, we had a great experience with a wonderful set of photos to capture this time in my children’s lives.  I would definitely recommend Amanda and would get her to photograph my family in the future.”   Lianne

 

“Amanda recently took some pictures to celebrate my daughter’s 1st birthday. Amanda was amazing, professional, calm, relaxed and patient. Nothing was too much trouble. She took such beautiful pics of my two girls. Cannot thank her enough for giving us such special memories of them. So happy with the photos and would definitely recommend!”   Michelle

 

“Amanda has such a great eye for getting amazing shots of our family. Everyone was cranky and didn’t want to do the photo session but in the end the result was simply stunning! She managed to get our dog in lots of shots too and focussed on some details that simply look great. One shot was just all of our legs and boots and it’s become everyone’s favourite photo. Highly recommend her for your next photo shoot.”   Barbara

 

“I recently had a mini photoshoot with Amanda for my son Sterling. Amanda is really flexible, I had to move my time slot a few times due to work and she was so accommodating. The photo shoot setting was relaxed, outdoors and quick, what more could you want went you have a squirmy 13 month old. I highly recommend Amanda, I love my photos!”   Roxanne

 

“We recently had a newborn photo shoot with Amanda. She was amazing. So good with our little boy. It was a very calm and relaxed experience.

Would absolutely recommend Amanda and we would use her again in the future for any photography needs we have.”   Sarah

 

“Working with Amanda was such a delight! She was amazing at capturing beautiful poses, jumps and shapes of my dancers for my dance studio! I would highly recommend Amanda Naylor Photography!”   Sarah

 

“Our photography session with Amanda was such a fantastic experience! With a 3 year old daughter who never stays still long enough to get a good photo (let alone smile) Amanda did the impossible! Not only are our photos amazing but the session was such a fun experience for the whole family. Thanks Amanda for helping us to create such beautiful memories!”   Lisa

Prices are extremely reasonable as well, so much so that I think we’ll do a session a year going forward! Thank you again! Liliana is looking forward to her Cake Smash session x”    Michelle

 

  

“Our family always find Amanda to take our Christmas photos every year! She’s a very professional and friendly photographer, both of my kids are enjoy to taking photos with her, specially my daughter, she’s a camera shy, if she see someone taking photo for her, she will cover her face. We tried different photographers before, but only Amanda make her feels relax and want to take photos. And Amanda always did a great job, thanks Amanda, will see you this coming Christmas and my son cake smash photos!”   Vera

 

 

“Amanda did a photo shoot for my extended family, when my parents were visiting from the UK. The morning was so enjoyable, she was so friendly, patient and calm despite toddlers doing the opposite of what we wanted half the time! The photos were amazing, I’m so pleased with them. They have given us some wonderful memories to keep forever. Highly recommended.”   Sue

 

“I am so impressed with Amanda and her professionalism. Not only does she have creative ideas, the photos are amazing. She also sent them back to me edited within a really short time. Amanda has completely exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend her.”   Catherine

 

“We recently had the pleasure of doing a newborn photo shoot with Amanda. What a great experience! She was so lovely, calm and accommodating. The twins were a little unsettled during the shoot which did not phase Amanda at all. She even took one of the babies, wrapped him up and rocked him until he was calm enough to take some more shots. And the photos were amazing!!! Thanks again Amanda.”   Mary

 

“The photo session with Amanda was carefree and actually such a great family bonding time. She captured the personalities of both our children so well and was really good with the kiddies. They do not want to sit still and smile, rather want to play on the beach (and what beautiful photos the playful ones are!) Amanda, you have great talent! Thank you for our beautiful family photos!”   Madeleine

 

“I have worked with several photographers over the years due to my line of work and I have to say, Amanda is definitely one of the best! We did a studio style shoot on my daughters first birthday and then an ‘on location’ shoot at her first birthday party. I’m so glad I did both, the photos are amazing and something I will look back on for years to come … Amanda has a soft, lovely manner that immediately puts you at ease when the camera is rolling. Our shoots were seamless, reasonably priced and best of all there are no restrictions on the photos, what ever you need it is all included. If timing permits, I will be booking Amanda in for many more of my daughter birthdays in the years ahead; she is so well priced its doable!”  Corrine

 

“My biggest fear was that my son wouldn’t sit still or behave for any photos. He didn’t, but Amanda was so great and just went with it. She ran, crawled and swam around after him to get the perfect shot.”   Bel

 

“Amanda has recently photographed my wedding, she was amazing! From being there at the start to the finish capturing the most special moments of our day. We have our photos back & honestly can’t pick our favourites, there is too many we love! Her photos are extremely natural & not over edited/photoshopped. She was extremely professional & we 100% recommend her for any event!”   Kady 

 

“Getting a gorgeous pic of all 3 kids, nailed it. Thank you for making us all comfortable and their natural selves.”   Veronica

 

“Amanda recently came to Berry for a family weekend away to celebrate my fathers 70th and my birthday. We had family visiting from overseas, babies and toddlers in the house for the weekend, Amanda was amazing at organising ( without us realising ) to get some great family shots to commemorate a great family weekend. We all enjoyed ourselves and relaxed. Photos are great, capturing some special family moments.”   Jessica

 

“Wonderful experience with simply gorgeous moments captured. Amanda was brilliant and so helpful, she opened her home up and made us feel so welcome and accommodating of the unpredictability of a 1 year old. The mess my daughter made of her cake smash didn’t seem to phase Amanda at all. The pictures will be treasured for years, we can’t thank her enough and will be back for some more pictures in the future.”   Jenny

 

“We can’t thank Amanda enough for capturing some amazing memories. She turned our camera shy 3 year old into a child that loved the camera, making for some brilliant photos of him to cherish for a life time. She has such a way that makes everyone at ease and has a brilliant eye for everything. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Amanda x”   Kerry

 

“Amanda recently photographed my mother’s 90th birthday celebration. We are more than happy with the photos; the way Amanda used the existing light and gardens for natural backgrounds really helped to bring an extra something to the photos as well as capture the happy atmosphere and love expressed throughout the party. We highly recommend Amanda to capture the true spirit of your next special event; you won’t be disappointed in the finished product or her lovely approachable manner and professionalism.”   Judi

 

“If you are wondering whether to choose Amanda to photograph your family or not, don’t hesitate. Do it! She is brilliant! We had a family photo shoot with her at North Curl Curl beach and were blown away by the photos she took. We have three teenage kids and she had fabulous suggestions on great shots to take that really showed us off at our best. I will treasure the photos forever.”   Fiona

 

“Highly recommend Amanda! She was such a natural with my 1 year old during our cake smash photoshoot today; letting him take water & play breaks when the photos got boring for him. We had a blast & cannot wait to see how the photos turned out! ”   Bronwyn

 

“Amanda did an amazing job with a newborn shoot for our son. She captured exactly what I wanted including both natural and posed shots. She was so patient with us and our six week old. The photos were amazing and loved by all!”   Miruna

 

“If I knew it would be that easy to get family photos taken, I wouldn’t have waited 18 years! From the first time I spoke to Amanda on the phone, to the numerous emails I sent back and forth with dates and times, nothing was ever a problem for Amanda and she was happy to fit in with my busy family. The photos came back and I can actually say I don’t have a favourite, I actually love them all! Give Amanda a call today, don’t wait like I did for 18 years to get family photos taken.”   Jo

 

“We recently had a cake smash with Amanda and it was such a great experience. She welcomed us into her home and it was so relaxed and easy.

“Amanda has just photographed our children in a Christmas Mini-Shoot for the 3rd year running and as always we are really happy with the shots. There has been a different theme each year and it is now part of our Christmas tradition to send photos to our family. Amanda has such a calm but fun nature she really gets the best from the kids!”   Louise

 

“Have some beautiful photos of our family from our session with Amanda. And the kids even enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend Amanda – she was very professional and I got the images really fast too!”   Rebecca

“Great value for money! Amanda made our newborn photo shoot relaxing and fun. She had set aside the day for us as she appreciated (more so than we did) that we may arrive a little late and have to stop for a feed. Our little one cried and didn’t settle easily but Amanda was a pro. Love our photos. Recommend getting photos done in first 2 weeks when baby still sleepy newborn.”   Kerry

 

“We had a photo shoot with Amanda to celebrate a special occasion, involving three generations of our family. From the moment she arrived, she made us all feel very relaxed and comfortable in her presence. She also added many personal touches to capture the children’s features. Resulting in some amazing photographs and more importantly wonderful memories. We have no hesitation in recommending Amanda. Thank you again Amanda xxx”   Jayne

 

“I asked Amanda to do the photography of my daughter’s 1st birthday party, based on my friends’ recommendations and seeing the photos she shot for them. She was brilliant and I am so happy with the photos. She captured the essence of the day perfectly and I would not hesitate to use her services for future family shoots.”   Amy

 

“Amanda was absolutely amazing for my daughters first birthday cake smash. She was so relaxed and extremely patient. Although my daughter wasn’t that into the cake she was able to work around it & got the most beautiful photos. As well as a quick turn around of the photos so I was able to show them off at her birthday party. I just love love love love them & have had so many comments about how gorgeous the photos are. I cannot recommend Amanda enough – extremely talented photographer!”  Aimee

 

“We recently had a newborn and family photo shoot with Amanda. She was fantastic! So relaxed and easy to work with on the day.

We love our photos and will happily recommend you to others.”   Melissa

 

“Amanda was amazing with us and our Bub Harvey. We felt very welcome in her home for our Christmas photos and Harvey was smitten with Amanda. Pics look amazing. Will definitely be back in future for more family photos.”  Stacey

 

“We absolutely loved the cake smash with my twin girls. Amanda was fantastic at working with them and she really knew what she was doing to try and get great shots whilst keeping them in good spirits. She got the pictures back to us in good time and was happy to make any little Photoshop changes I asked for. Getting two 1 year olds to face a camera together is definitely an art. We will definitely be using Amanda for some more family shots in the future.”   Natasha

 

“We worked with Amanda for our newborn daughter’s photo shoot. She was lovely to work with and had the magic mum touch with our daughter and settled her to get some amazing photos. We would recommend working with Amanda for your treasured family photos as her style is very natural and we were thrilled with the finished product.”   Leila

 

“Amanda recently photographed my daughter for her first birthday and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.  She was very accommodating when I had to postpone at the last minute due to my daughter getting sick, her communication was great throughout the whole process. Amanda was also amazing with my daughter who gets quite shy around strangers. She didn’t rush her at all and bought out some toys and played with her until my daughter was comfortable to start the photo session. On top of all this the photos came out amazingly – I couldn’t be happier with them. I’ll be using Amanda for more photos in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”  Kimberley

 

“Amanda recently photographed my newborn daughter (and our entire family + pets!) at our home. Amanda is such a pleasure to work with, very professional and very, very patient. Her packages are absolutely fantastic and the photos were beautiful. Simple & natural, which is exactly what we were after. Would definitely use Amanda again.”   Rhee

 

“So much easier using the online gallery and wonderful to have access to all the pictures. You are lovely, wonderful with children with a great attention to detail.”  Delphine

 

“Amanda had a lovely easy going nature. She was patient with my lively 6 year old and generally very professional. We are very happy with our photos.”   Nicola

 

“Amanda was amazing from the moment we contacted her. On the day she was warm and welcoming. Our little kiddies were happy and relaxed around her and loved her! Such a wonderful session and our photos look amazing.. within a few hours we were given a preview and the excitement levels tripled. Thank you Amanda.”   Tracy

 

“We were lucky enough to have Amanda say yes to being our birth photographer! She had taken beautiful pics of my first son throughout his life so I knew her photos would be amazing, ones that I could treasure forever. Her calm and loving nature made me feel at ease. I didn’t notice her in the birthing space, as she quietly observed, capturing the moments perfectly. Our newborn and family shoot was fun and easy! She was easy going and understanding of toddlers and babies needs/ wants and worked in with the whole family. I recommend Amanda for any type of photography work, I look at my beautiful pictures daily! Thank you.”   Bel

 

“We had such a great experience with Amanda. I contacted her very last minute to take photos for our wedding and she got back to me very quickly and was so easy to deal with. On the day she made everyone, including me and my husband who aren’t super comfortable in front of the camera, feel very at ease. The photos themselves are beautiful and we’ve had so many comments about how lovely they are.”  Sarah

 

“Thank you Amanda for our cake smash session! We had a lot of fun with it, Lucy was so comfortable with you and we couldn’t be more pleased with the images! We loved how you captured the essence of the shoot – natural, relaxed, simple yet beautiful and elegant, really bringing out the best of our cheeky little daughter. We highly recommend Amanda and can’t thank you enough!”   Melanie

 

“Amanda recently photographed my Grandfather’s 95th birthday celebration and it was excellent. Amanda’s service and professionalism was exceptional and she provided us with many beautiful photos to remember the special day.”   Shevaun

 

“Amanda did photos for our boys 1st Birthday Cake Smash. She is so super talented and couldn’t speak highly enough of her and the photos that she took. Amanda was more than willing to work with me to get the photos edited and back to me in less than a week so we could have them before his birthday. Will definitely be going back any chance we get! Thanks Amanda!”   Rachael

 

“Amanda has photographed my kids over the past few years as part of her Christmas mini sessions! She is naturally wonderful with children so instantly my kids were at ease. The backdrop, props & Christmas music created a wonderful mood which I believe was key to getting my kids to stay still (and smile)! Not to mention Amanda’s excellent photography skills which captured some gorgeous moments I will treasure always! Thank you Amanda….. we thoroughly recommend you and look forward to seeing you again next year!”   Christina

 

“Recently worked with Amanda, she is engaging and puts you at ease immediately. She is excellent with her craft skilfully capturing relaxed shots for me. Loved my pics and appreciated her super quick completion and preparation of my pics. I value her skill and the way she captured me to highlight warmth and connection for my website. Highly recommend Amanda for value and professionalism, with warmth and ability to put you at ease. Will be working with her again for both business and some family shots.”  Cindi

 

“I am a celebrant and worked with Amanda at a home wedding, she was slick, and I hardly noticed her taking photos during the ceremony. This to me is very important that the photographer gets the shots without getting in the way of the special moments of the ceremony. I would highly recommend Amanda to take your photos, the results she came up with were beautiful, natural and fun. She was also able to give the couple lovely printed photo cards which they used as thank-you cards. The couple received their USB of the photos very quickly.”   Cate

 

“Beautiful photos, wonderful patience (we have twins) and great value. So important to capture these magic early moments!”   Danny

 

“Once I explained to Amanda the circumstances behind our family photo shoot she totally got it. I now have photos of my family that are beautiful. Thank you Amanda.”   Nikki

 

“Highly recommend Amanda! She shot our yearly family xmas pics where we feature our shots on a xmas card. We were so happy with the results. She was warm, welcoming, efficient and so great with the kids. No doubt we will be back again next year – thank you!”  Sarah

 

 

“Thank you, thank you thank you!! We are in love with the photos. They are amazing and we couldn’t be happier with them. You were so incredibly patient with us and I’m amazed you were able to get so many wonderful shots in amongst our chaos. I love the slide show also. What a beautiful song.”   Lauren

 

“Warm, friendly & extremely professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone! Will be back for sure! Thanks Amanda!”   Emily

 

“Amanda was fantastic! We absolutely love our photos and highly recommend her!”   Anna

 

“Professional, relaxing, fun & family oriented. Fantastic home studio. Amanda works well with kids.”   Gabrielle

 

“The most beautiful photos we could have ever wanted for our wedding day. Everyone loves Amanda and how it was a pleasure to have you with us on our day. We would recommend you to anyone and everyone xx”   Krista

 

“Our first ever photo shoot, prompted by the sale of our beloved family car and Amanda couldn’t have made it more relaxed, fun and enjoyable. Despite a hot day, the evening weather turned in our favour, as did the light (assume Amanda arranged this too) and the results are amazing and precious memories are preserved forever. Thank you Amanda so much. You are amazing.”   Lucy

 

“Amanda is the official photographer of the Manly Soft Sand Classic and every year she captures this community event with an extraordinary eye for detail. Her images reflect the spirit and sporting achievement of the entire field as she focuses her lens on every runner. Her photographs actually make you want to run it and that says a lot as it’s a gruelling 21km on sand! Amanda is extremely professional and prompt with her work and every year she produces amazing memories of race day that runners can keep forever.”  Hilary

 

“Amanda was fabulous, her calmness, patience and natural talent with children makes it easier as a parent not only to capture those precious moments but enjoy it on the day. I highly recommend Amanda.”   Berna

 

“We recently participated in one of Amanda’s Mini Christmas Kids Photography sessions. The photos of our 6 month old and 2 year old are fantastic. We love, love, love them! We hadn’t met Amanda before and from the minute we walked in the door she made us all feel so comfortable – the kids loved the toy box. Amanda turned around the photos so quickly and was also quick to get back to my initial emails. We will be engaging Amanda again for some family photos and have recommended her to friends. Overall an easy process, value for money and great quality photos.”   Therese

 

“Amanda was so amazing, I could not recommend her enough. Her skills and experience meant our cake smash with 10 little one year olds was so much fun and the parents were all super relaxed. The photos are better than I could have imagined too and she is really great value for money too. I can’t wait to have a reason to book her again. Thank you Amanda x”   Katy

 

“I have recommended you to all my family and friends and said you were so amazingly patient and calm it made the experience a joy.”   Maya

 

“My biggest fear was having my photo taken, but you were very professional and made me feel at ease.”  Bec 

 

“Thanks Amanda for a truly professional photo session. The pics were amazing I will cherish them for ever!”   Paula

 

“Amanda is welcoming and immediately made our children feel relaxed for the photo shoot. Take time to look at the amazing photos she has taken.”   Kylie

 

 

 

“My 16 month old daughter recently had a Christmas mini shoot with Amanda. This year was much harder then last year when she wouldn’t sit or stand still. Amanda came up with lots of ideas for us to continue with the shoot. We got some amazing photos of our ‘lil girl. Highly recommend and will be definitely be using Amanda for our next photo session.”   Alison

 

“My favourite part was having a laugh. Amanda is so easy to talk to and really enjoys seeing the funny stuff kids do in front of the camera. Her joy and enthusiasm was infectious, and made for a great morning.”   Bel

 

“Although my kids weren’t in the best mood to get photos taken, Amanda managed to take some gorgeous shots that I absolutely love.”   Louise

 

“I loved everything from start to finish and thought it flowed so nicely. You just simply arrived and knew exactly where and what to do! No fluffing around. Amanda was absolutely brilliant! So dedicated and capable plus a pleasure to deal with. You must use her. Give her a go, you won’t be disappointed.”  Danielle

 

“Amanda is excellent. She is very easy going, relaxed and unhurried, but very professional. Have a look at her Blog pages on her website, or her Facebook page, as that gives you a really good idea of the broad range of photos she takes. This is important as other photographers just have a few galleries on their website to view.”   Jen

 

“Amanda is so friendly and easy going, you can’t help but relax and enjoy the process. She even got my dear old mum to smile in a photo which we haven’t achieved in years! Amanda, your a genius and your photos are beautiful, thank you.”   Trish

 

“My favourite part was the unique interaction Amanda had with my kids and understanding my son’s needs, being very shy and embarrassed in front of the camera.”   Kemily

 

“You managed to get around and capture all the guests at my 50th party without being intrusive. I never had to worry that I would not have a record of the occasion. My favourite part was at the end when you got key friendship groups together for team shots.”   Richard

 

“I enjoyed the in-house studio session. I think one of the reasons you hire a photographer is to come away with professional looking photos, as we don’t have access to professional backdrops and lighting when we are taking everyday photos with our iPhones.”   Jen 

 

“I would recommend Amanda to my friends in a heartbeat. She provided an excellent setting for the shoot with well thought about props and was very sensitive towards the timing due to my son’s nap times. The whole session was so fun all thanks to Amanda’s warm and personable nature. Lastly, the photographs we received, were fantastic! We could not be any happier. We are so thankful to Amanda.”   Nichola

 

“My biggest fear was my daughter would misbehave & you may get annoyed that she wasn’t co-operating. That totally did not happen-she did get upset a little but you were so warm and welcoming and made me and Isabella feel at ease that she calmed down quickly and we were able to continue. You didn’t push her when she’d had enough, just went with the flow which made this whole experience that much more fun and special.”   Leanne
