Hi! I'm Amanda
I create awesome photos of even better people in stunning Switzerland. I'm a tea loving, cookie baking, photo making mama of two who specialises in capturing images for people who have joy in their hearts and memory making on their mind!
Most days you will find me taking care of my family and my clients. Acts of service is my love language.
I was born and raised in the wilds of New Zealand before my American husband swept me off me feet and whisked me away to far of lands, eventually settling here in Switzerland.
My zone of genius is bringing the fun, removing the stress and granting you permission to shine for my camera!
We are 100% at mercy of the cherry blossoms blooming but this usually happens in mid April. You will be kept completely up to date when mother nature does her thing, I check in almost daily as the time draws near.
A tailor made Preparation and Style guide including my tips on how to select your family wardrobe and prepare them for their moment in front of the camera.
A 20 minute on location session experience completely guided by me to ensure every image is truly authentic to your family.
20 Digital File Images hand edited in colour and delivered online in a password protected online gallery.
The option to purchase additional images.
The option to order archive quality custom wall art for your family home.
With limited sessions available, I anticipate this event will quickly sell out!
You will be notified via email as soon as the bookings go live. Sessions are sold on a first come/first serve basis so I will give you few days notice when to expect the email that it is time to book!
There is no obligation to book by joining the waiting list, it's just so you can be notified when the sessions are now available to be booked.
If you'd like to have a quick chat to learn if this session is right for you, feel fee to drop me a line here so we can set up a time to talk.
I'm the first person to say that I am NOT the photographer for everyone. My desire is to capture real connection and joy. I don't do stiff and awkward poses so if you're looking for a traditional session where everyone sits still and looks directly at the camera the whole time, that's not me.
I work best with fun loving, adventurous couples who are always up for a new experience and a laugh. If you love getting playful and silly with each other and always have your eye on the next awesome adventure you can take together, look no further, we're going to get on like a house on fire.
As soon as the cherry blossoms are blooming! Usually this is in mid-April. I can't firm up an exact date until Mother nature does her thing, but I do promise to keep you well informed with progress updates as I check in on our location almost daily when the time draws near.
I book sessions as close to sunset and golden hour as possible. In April this will be around 7pm. If you have little kiddos, it might be a good idea to give them an extra nap the day of our session so they are not too tired for their moment in front of the camera.
Ah! That would be giving away my secret sauce!
Just kidding! Although I won't give away the exact location until you book, I can tell you that it is a stones throw from Basel and very easy to reach, but you will need a car to get there. No buses go where we're going!
Due to the high demand of these sessions, it ensure you are the first to know when sessions are available to book, I highly recommend you join my waitlist.
I will give you notice in advance when I will be releasing the sessions for booking so you can set yourself an alarm when the link to book is live.
There is no obligation to book by joining the waitlist, but folks on the waitlist will be the first to know and booking will be secured on a first come/first serve basis....so be sure you don't miss your change and join the waitlist now!
When you book with me, you will receive a comprehensive Preparation and Style Guide that I wrote especially for my clients. It is full of helpful style tips and covers colours, patterns, fabrics and accessories.
As you pull your outfits together, you are always welcome to send me a snapshot of what you've put together if you feel you need a second opinion.
The best style advise I can give you though is to always be yourself! Now is not the time to flirt with a new style, your comfort zone is the best zone!
As a wife and mum of two, I understand this genuine concern!
My sessions are designed to be engaging and fun so even the most stubborn toddler, strong willed teenager and surly spouse cannot help but jump in and join the fun.
In my experience, because I give my families permission to be silly and playful, everyone seems to relax and melt into the moment, without a second care about the camera, just the way I want it to be.
A good weather forecast is the final detail we need to fall into place for our session.
As we close in on our scheduled session date, I am watching the weather very closely to determine if it will be fine enough to proceed with our plans. It is very rare to be completely rained out of our planned session date, however if it's not looking great in the days leading up to our session, I am in constant communication with you to reschedule either our time and/or our session date.
I strongly reccommned keeping your calendar free the entire weekend of our scheduled shoot just in case we need to be flexible with our time because of less than ideal weather.
I believe a professional photo session is an investment that only grows in value over time.
