A golden hour family portrait taken in Nelson, NZ of young sisters laughing together by Amber Leh Photography

Ready to press pause for a moment in time?

Course you are! And I'm here to help.

I'm not just a photographer, I make time capsules...

I’m all about documenting your family as they really are (tantrums make the best photos). 


It’s a partnership where we work with the nap times, the weather, and figuring out how to get your reluctant husband to smile. 


Want photos cooking your Sunday morning pancakes together? Done. 

Want me to take photos of you at your favorite ice cream shop? I’m on it. 

Want dreamy beach photos splashing in the ocean? Golden hour is my bestie.

No more awkward, staged photos…

I’m here to capture the wild and imperfect moments in life.

Because you don’t want to look back at your photos and think,

“That doesn’t feel like us.” 


What you want is candid, everyday moments that freeze time and truly transport you back to the messiness (and joy) of real life.

And my photos can do all that (time travel’s easy, gals!)

wow, Amber is so relaxed and patient.  We had our 2 year old with us & she captured some very special moments. She made me feel so at ease, & her photos are out of this world...

Would highly recommend!

Amber was so lovely!!! We had an in-home photoshoot. she made us feel super relaxed and got our toddler to be his crazy silly self. She capture his personality so perfectly. We are so in love with our photos.

FAQ

How do I book a shoot?

Fill in my contact form, let me know what type of session you would like and if you have any preferred dates or times. I will get back to you and we can start planning!

How long will it take to get my images back?

After your family/couples photoshoot I will have all of your images back to you in three weeks! For weddings please allow 5-6 weeks (with sneak peeks back to you within 24 hours).

I want photos but I'm so awkward behind the camera!

Everyone feels this way! I promise to try and get you laughing and having some fun... so much fun that you might be back next year for more!

Can you travel for our photoshoot?

I LOVE to get and and explore new places. Depending on where you would like me to travel to, I may need to charge additional travel fees. Anything is possible.

What do we wear for our photoshoot?

I have a 'what to wear' guide for all of my family/couples shoot clients! Once you are booked in I will send this guide through to you. I also have a small client wardrobe for the women which you are welcome to use for your session!

Can we add in an activity?

Of course! I love story-telling photoshoots that help to preserve these special memories. Cooking at home, scooter riding down the street or of to your favorite cafe for fluffies. Whatever you like - I'm happy to chat and help with ideas if you need.
