“Photographic & Self Knowledge experiences for those ready to look inside and out.” Hey there! My name is Amanda. Empowerment is at the heart of my mission.

I'm a holistic photographer, videographer and mentor based in Sydney, Australia. Photography for me is a powerful tool to make us see ourselves from a higher perspective, understanding that beauty is beyond what we’ve been told for generations. I am committed to helping you uncover your truth and your voice. I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, guided by the power of photography,

and self-awareness. Today, I put together my passion for photography and self-development tools into unique experiences for women, personal and mindful brands, couples and families. I also offer Mentoring Programs designed to empower aspiring photographers to transcend their limitations, gain self-awareness, and confidently guide and lead people during photoshoots. I'm always with open eyes, heart and soul to witness you and your particular universe. And that's how I welcome you to this space!

Photography keeps teaching me how human we all are.
Behind every frame is someone letting go, opening up, becoming.
That’s the real work — and the real beauty. 🌿

A garden.
A quiet moment.
A love that feels eternal.

Thais and Will — raw, simple, true.

Before their ceremony, they decided to do a shoot with just the two of them. They got to look at each other with presence. Share smiles, laughter, joy. It was just.... magical.

Sometimes words are just not enough to express feelings.

What do you feel when you look at these photos?

What’s the name of this movie?
Because it truly felt like one. ✨

Soft light, gentle touch, that golden-hour stillness that makes everything look like magic.
This shoot still gives me chills — it was romantic, effortless, and so full of emotion.

Some stories don’t fade with time. They just get softer, deeper, more beautiful to revisit.

And honestly, I’d watch this one again and again.

I can’t believe how quickly time has passed — when we took these photos, was still pregnant, carrying little Mario Neto in her belly.
Now he’s almost six months old. 🌙

Time moves fast, but photos like these remind me that love leaves traces we can always return to.

It’s never too late to share something magical.

BTS of the Advanced Face Massage Course and ILD® Pregnancy Massage Course for .massage.teacher.

These were Mariana’s first-ever online courses — and watching her shine (even more) in this digital space is so encouraging and inspiring.

We’ve built so many projects together since her first shoot a few years back, and this month we’ll be filming her third online course.

It’s beautiful to witness someone expand through their art — and to help translate that vision into the digital world.

If you’ve been thinking about launching your own online course or offering, maybe it’s time to hit record. 🎬 Let’s make it happen.

Much is the same, yet everything is different.

I photographed when she was carrying Camila in her belly, in September 2024. A year later, we returned to the same place — this time, with Camila almost turning one.

The trees, the light, the air felt familiar, but life had already changed.
That’s the beauty of photography: it lets us return, again and again, to moments that time has transformed.

To all the mothers reading this — come back to your story.
Let’s capture where you are now, and how beautifully life has changed ✨

Every story begins quietly.

On a page, in a glance, in the way light falls on us when we least expect it.

Sometimes, we think storytelling is only about words — but it’s also in the pauses, the gestures, the moments in between.

Your story is already being told. The question is: are you listening?

What chapter of your life are you writing right now?

Working with .mori_ reminded me how art can hold the places we can’t always put into words.

Her project 'A Place in Between' is a contemporary approach to still-life paintings, blending fruits from Brazil (her birthplace) and Australia (her home now), with imagined fruits that carry the invisible parts of her identity.

Watching her bring this to life felt like witnessing someone weave memory and imagination into one language — a language that speaks of belonging, longing, and becoming.

And it makes me wonder — how many of us also live in that ‘place in between’? Between where we come from and who we are becoming.

Maybe this season is asking you to honour your own in-between too.

Being behind the camera is more than creating images. It’s guiding, listening, holding space, and weaving stories together.

I give so much of myself to every project — the writing, the directing, the filming, the editing — because I can’t do it any other way. This work has my whole heart.

reminds me why I love it so deeply. She was one of the first women to step into my ‘Blooming Soul’ project back in 2022. Today, she’s writing songs and recording her first videoclip. To be invited to witness her journey again, in this new chapter, feels like a gift.

This is what I live for: to see people bloom, and to translate that becoming into something they can hold forever. What a pleasure it is to work with you!!

Sometimes the signs are everywhere.
A sudden breeze. A conversation. A flock of birds soaring wildly across the sky.
Freedom is not always far — but we don’t see it.

Because sometimes, we keep our eyes shut.
Not just the ones on our face — but the ones within.

We stay in the familiar.
The safe.
The silent.

Even when the truth flaps its wings right in front of us,
we say:
“Not now.”
“Not me.”
“Not yet.”

But the signs are patient.
They’ll come again.
And again.
Until one day —
you open your eyes and say:
I’m ready.

— it’s time to show what I’ve been seeing.

There’s a fine line between drifting and flowing.
Between being taken by life…
and moving with life.

Sometimes we think we’re in flow —
but really, we’re just asleep.
Waking up.
Working.
Going through the motions.
Letting time pass without noticing the patterns,
the weight,
the longing.

That’s not flow.
That’s forgetting.

Flow is something else entirely.
It’s when we choose to ask for direction —
and then listen.
It’s when we stay awake to the signs,
the opportunities,
the shifts.
It’s when we surrender,
not out of habit,
but out of trust.

You’re still moving —
but now, you’re moving with purpose.
With presence.
With life, not just through it.

And from here… everything feels different.
