Let's make something beautiful with your family this winter!

Excitement & adventures await us at every turn in Switzerland, yet there is something extra and oh-so magical about winter in the Swiss Alps. A stroll across a sugar-coated alpine peak with your loved ones is just the tonic to blow the winter cobwebs away.

"Amanda made us feel really at ease and managed to tame our wild toddler enough to get some great shots that we will treasure for a lifetime."

amanda Joy Photography

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-off 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!

About

what I do differently to make this so easy & special for you!

Need more convincing? here are three ways I make this experience perfectly catered to the families I photograph

All of my sessions are super-duper quick. With nine years of experience, I know I can capture dozens of brilliant photos for you in 10-30 minutes flat. Cold hands and feet? We work way too fast for that to happen!

There is no idle moment. I will be guiding your family throughout the entire session, prompting you to walk, dance, twirl, snuggle, kiss and belly laugh so I can capture your family in those moments of fun, laughter and joy.

You don't need to think of a single thing past picking out your outfits and showing up! And I  even provide the handbook to help you with that!

with those three big excuses out of the way.... let's take the next step!

You've got questions,

and I have answers!

are we a match? 

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.

WHEN ARE THESE SESSIONS TAKING PLACE?

Mountain Sessions take place year round, but special winter mountain sessions are only available in February and sometimes March.

I book sessions in the afternoons, as close to sunset as possible, but before the lifts close for the day.

If you have little kiddos, who love an afternoon nap, 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 we chat on the phone, every location I choose has you in mind and are within short, stroller friendly walks from lift stations and train stops.

Do you help me choose our outfits?

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!

I'M WORRIED MY KIDS &/OR SPOUSE WON'T BEHAVE....

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.


So, how much will this cost?

don't dilly-dally now!
