Hold onto this season a little longer.
Childhood passes in the blink of an eye. Let's capture the laughter, the cuddles, the chaos and all the beautiful in-between moments before they become treasured memories.
That's why I believe family photographs are about so much more than beautiful images. They're about remembering the little details that fade with time—the cheeky smiles, tiny hands wrapped around yours, belly laughs, missing teeth and the way your family feels right now.
My sessions are relaxed, playful and completely centred around connection. There's no pressure for perfectly behaved children or forced smiles. Instead, I'll gently guide you while giving your family the space to simply be yourselves.
Because one day, these photographs won't just remind you what your children looked like—they'll remind you exactly how this season of life felt.
As a mum of three, I know just how quickly childhood changes. One minute you're rocking them to sleep, and the next they're racing ahead without looking back.
These photographs become more valuable with every passing year.
Right now, your days might feel full of lunchboxes, school drop-offs, endless washing and toys scattered across the floor.
It's easy to think you'll always remember this season of life exactly as it is.
But one day, the little voice asking for "just one more cuddle" will be gone. Tiny hands will grow bigger, gaps will fill with adult teeth, and family walks will look a little different. That's why I believe family photography isn't about creating perfect portraits.
It's about preserving a chapter of your family's story before it quietly changes.
The way your children fit into your arms. The way they look at you when they laugh. The chaos. The calm. The love that exists in the ordinary moments you'll one day miss the most. Because these photographs aren't just for today. They're for your children. And maybe one day, for their children too.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Step one
Get in touch
If the thought of family photos makes you imagine stressed parents, grumpy kids and forced smiles, let me reassure you...
That's not how I work.
My sessions are relaxed, child-led and designed to feel more like an afternoon together than a traditional photoshoot.
Get in touch, tell me all about your family, the type of session you're dreaming of and ask as many questions as you'd like.
If you’re wondering when to book in - the best time is simply now. Because this version of your family won't exist forever.
Step two
Let's plan your session
Once your deposit has been paid, I’ll send you my comprehensive Family Photo Guide. This includes ideas on what to wear, where and when to hold your session, and a few extra tips to help the session run as smoothly as possible.
Session times differ depending on what we’re capturing, and more info on each session is provided in the Family Photo Guide.
Again, ask me anything to help you on your way!
Step three
Your session
At the session, we'll wander, play, cuddle, laugh and let you explore. I'll gently guide you when needed, but some of the most meaningful photographs happen in the in-between moments—the giggles, the game-playing, the wind-blown hair and the spontaneous cuddles.
There's no expectation for children to sit perfectly or smile at the camera.
In fact, I'd much rather capture their personalities exactly as they are.
The most important thing to me is that you remember the session as a wonderful experience.
Step four
Your photographs
The result? A photo gallery filled with genuine connection, natural emotion and photographs that feel like your family.
Within four weeks you'll receive your beautifully edited online gallery, ready to download, share and enjoy.
You'll also have access to professional-quality albums, framed prints and wall art, helping your memories find a permanent place in your home.
Family Collections
Every family has a story worth preserving. Whether you're welcoming a new baby, celebrating a growing family or simply wanting to remember this season of life, each session is thoughtfully designed to feel relaxed, natural and true to you. Choose the experience that best fits your family, and together we'll create photographs you'll treasure for generations.

We wanted beautiful, relaxed family photos to celebrate our youngest daughter’s 1st birthday. Amina was so incredible and professional, she had knowledge of great locations for our outdoor shoot and put everyone at ease on the day. She managed to capture the most stunning images of our two young girls & growing family. We are so happy with them, the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. So glad we trusted her to photograph us. We will definitely be booking Amina again (and again!)

The most amazing lady to work with! From the moment our session started Amina made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She has captured a special time in our lives with our baby girl and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Cannot wait to work with her for future events!

Amina is an amazing photographer, I cannot recommend her enough. We have used Amina’s photography services several times over the past few years for family shoots, maternity shoot, etc. and she has been outstanding each time. Amazing photos and just an overall great experience. If you’re looking for a photographer who will produce amazing photos and make the shoot an enjoyable day, then you’ve found her in Amina!

Ahh, how wonderful Amina was when it came to doing our newborn shoot. Everything was a breeze, from booking in (at the very last minute) to the completion of the photos. She made me and my partner feel so comfortable and relaxed. Being a mother herself, she was very understanding too! Memories we will cherish forever. Couldn’t recommend and thank her enough!

My husband and I have admired Amina’s style for quite some time and seen her create beautiful, candid, classy and timeless images to cherish. When we were expecting our first little one, of course things don’t go to plan as we had hoped to have a maternity shoot and newborn shoot completed. However, Amina managed to tailor her services to our needs at the time and was so understanding with our needs and restrictions with a newborn. The session itself was one we will never forget as she made it so very special and we loved every minute of it. The images, well I can’t speak any more highly of them. Incredible. Still brings a tear to our eyes as we look at them remembering the delightful session we had and know we will cherish these images forever. Our only regret is that we didn’t cross paths with Amina earlier.

Amina doesn’t just provide photos, she provides family treasures! My husband, son and I were recently lucky enough to have a family portrait session done with Amina and couldn’t be happier with the results or of the memories created during the session. Amina is warm and friendly and put us at complete ease in front of the camera. She even helped us with a photo announcing our second pregnancy so she will forever be a part of our family history and we are so grateful. As Mums, we often don’t get enough photos with our children and they are truly something magical to behold. Thank you so much Amina!

Amina did the most amazing job on our recent maternity shoot. I cannot stop looking at our photos (and smiling while I do so!). We are very grateful to her for making us feel so at ease on the day and capturing this moment in our lives - memories we’ll treasure forever.

OMG. I honestly can’t decide which photos to choose! They are all just too beautiful. You captured our family so perfectly and the boys’ personalities absolutely shine through in every image. So grateful for these memories, thank you!
