Portrait Photography for Real People in Brisbane & Ipswich
Hey, I’m Amanda — a portrait photographer based in Ipswich, Queensland. I’ve spent the last decade photographing all sorts of people — authors, artists, entertainers, families, grandparents, business owners, people who want to share their non-conformist souls, you name it. What lights me up is helping people feel seen & understood — not just photographed.
And look, I know being in front of a camera can feel a bit weird. Most people tell me they’re “awkward” or “not photogenic” — but that’s honestly where I thrive.
I’ve spent years studying posing, body language, and micro expression — the small stuff that makes a big difference. A tilt of the head, a change in the jaw, a shift in weight — these are the details that help you look natural and feel relaxed. I’ll guide you the whole way so you’re never left wondering what to do with your hands.
Whether you’re after something personal or professional, we’ll create images together that feel like you — comfortable, confident, and completely authentic.
Portraits for Authors
Your portrait should feel like a visual echo of your writing — thoughtful, layered, and a little intriguing. Whether you’re launching a book or building your profile, we’ll craft images that match your voice.
Portraits for Entertainers
You’ve got energy — let’s bottle it. Whether you’re on stage, behind a mic, or somewhere in between, I’ll help bring your personality forward in a way that’s bold, polished and true to you.
Portraits for Artists
Your art is personal — and your portrait should be too. We’ll work together to create imagery that reflects your creative process, your visual style, and your unique perspective.
Portraits for Grandparents
These sessions are all heart. There’s something deeply meaningful about photographing grandparents — the quiet strength, the humour, the history in their eyes. These aren’t just portraits, they’re heirlooms.
Portraits for Business Owners
People do business with people, not brands. I’ll work with you to create portraits that show your professionalism and your personality. No cookie-cutter headshots here — just strong, approachable imagery that feels like you.
Headshots for LinkedIn
First impressions count. Whether you’re job-hunting, networking, or levelling up your online presence, I’ll capture a headshot that’s confident, warm, and full of intention — no stiff poses or awkward smiles.
Editorial Photography for Brisbane & Ipswich
Need a bank of on-brand photos that genuinely tell your story? I’ve got you. Whether you’re in a studio, a home office, out on site or in your shop, I’ll work with you to tell your story in a genuine, visually cohesive way. Think of an Editorial as your visual toolkit — ready to roll out across your website, socials and marketing.
Why work with me?
Because I see you — and I know how to help others see you too. With over a decade behind the lens and a serious love of posing and body language, I’ve got the tools to help you feel at ease and look amazing.
Whether you’re in Ipswich or Brisbane, I’d love to photograph you. Let’s chat about what you need, and create portraits that feel true, comfortable, and completely you.
Until next time,
