”We booked in our photoshoot with Amara after seeing the photos from our friends photoshoot. We met Amara and instantly felt relaxed and comfortable in her company. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than a formal photoshoot. Amara captured so many genuine beautiful moments. We would highly recommend Amara and will book with her again in the future.”

"You did such an incredible job and I love them so so much, I've been showing everyone that'll look but everyone has had nothing but nothing but compliments for your work! You should be so proud, you're so good at what you do."

— alexis

"Amara is such a dream to work with! We couldn't be happier with our photos! The gallery has this gorgeous warmth to it that we absolutely love. Just as much as the photos, the experience with her is so lovely. She's so easy to be around and makes the whole session feel really natural and relaxed. Amara has a really genuine way of connecting with people, which makes it feel special rather than staged. We loved it and are so grateful for our photos."

"Highly, highly recommend Amara for capturing you through any season of life! I had a maternity shoot with her and right from booking all the way through to the gallery delivery - she was so personable & fun to work with! I felt so comfortable throughout the entire shoot. The photos were an absolute dream - I still look back at them to this day and Amara still checks in on my little family all these months later. I can't wait to have her shoot us all again!

"I booked with Amara for my maternity shoot last spring and I was so nervous about being in front of the camera but I really didn’t need to worry about a thing! She had us in stitches, creating real life laughing moments that we now have through our house. We’ve since had 5 separate shoots with Amara, from new born to Christmas. Each representing her style whilst giving a completely different vibe! Her vision to create and capture moments has blown me away every time I receive my photos. It truly is incredible the work she does and how comfortable she makes you feel, like old friends. She truly is one of a kind and absolutely outstanding in her field."

"Amara we cannot thank you enough! The photos are absolutely incredible! You've done the most beautiful job and captured shots that truly reflect our family. You are so talented and we are so grateful that you snuck us in and shared these moments with us!"

— gaby

"I can't put in to words how grateful we are for the beautiful memories Amara has captured of our family. I've used other photographers before, and nobody else comes close to how comfortable Amara made my family and I feel; the candid photos came about so genuinely and naturally. We've now done two sessions with her and will be going back to her at least once a year to capture the growth of our little family.

She responds in a timely manner, completely transparent about costs and what to expect, and collaborative in bringing our vision to life.

Thank you so much Amara. We are so appreciative of your professionalism and talent."

— sandy

”I had the pleasure of working with Amara and it has been nothing short of magical. From start to finish Amara approaches the sessions with her admirable eye for detail, her incredible artistic talent shines through the lens. Amara is down to earth and a true wizard to bringing ideas, visions and concepts to life. It has been an honour to work with her!”

— Tahnee

“Our newborn session with Amara was absolutely wonderful. She was so beautiful to work with and the journey from booking in, to the studio shoot and then receiving the complete gallery was seamless. The session was fun and relaxed - not always easy with a family of 5! I was blown away with the gallery we received and will cherish the gorgeous photos it for the rest of my life. I’m so grateful to Amara for capturing our family and memories of such a special time so perfectly.”

— rachael

"We can not thank you enough for the amazing experience having our newborns photos taken. The environment you create in your studio is very low pressure and welcoming, which made us very comfortable having our photos taken. The photographs are absolutely beautiful and you've got such an eye for lighting and styling that comes across in the photos. You were also so good at settling and calming our daughter resulting in a stress free session."

— zoe

"I look back on these photos at least a couple times a week, and I'm so glad I trusted the process (you) because the photos are magical. We will 1000% be reaching out to you again soon for another shoot!"

— Charlotte

"Highly HIGHLY recommend Amara. She is not only incredibly talented (clearly) but she made me feel so comfortable when doing a maternity shoot - and better yet, we are still in touch all these months later".
