Amanda Ritchie Photography Portrait and Wedding Photographer - New Plymouth based but happy to travel. Let’s create something truly special together.

Wedding and Portrait Photographer - New Plymouth
I specialise in capturing the beauty of weddings, the glow of maternity, the tenderness of newborns, and the joy of family. My photography style is warm, natural, and timeless, with a relaxed, friendly approach that makes every session feel effortless. I love capturing genuine emotion to create images that feel authentic and full of life. Whether in

my cosy home studio or out on location, I focus on storytelling, preserving fleeting moments, loving connections, and the unique essence of each family.

A beautiful autumn morning for this sweet newborn session. This little guy’s family had a special request for some outdoor family photos, so we wandered across the road to a little field (so lucky to have this near the studio), before heading back indoors for the rest of the session.

I also had the honour of photographing this family when big brother as a newborn, so seeing him proudly step into his new role made it even more special.

So much cuteness (I know, I say that all the time), but I’m always genuinely grateful for families who come back to me as they grow.

Thank you so much x

Sorry for the quiet feed lately, life and work have been full on behind the scenes.

I’m finally catching up and I’m excited to show you what I’ve been working on starting with this sweet baby girl's newborn session a few weeks ago xx

Congratulations mum and dad - she's absolutely precious!

A fresh 48 session at home instead of the hospital feels a little bit magical.

I’ve photographed this lovely family through their previous maternity and newborn session and watching their first baby grow up at Pop-ins.

Seeing big sister proudly doting on her new little sister was the sweetest thing. All those tiny details and brand‑new moments as a family of four were so special to capture.

I'm super excited to capture their newest little love's milestones over the next year xx

Congratulations to you all and thank you for your continued support it means so much to me.

Happy 1st birthday Miss T!

This little birthday girl had an absolute blast at her smash and splash session! From diving into her cake to splashing away in the tub afterward. Big sister even jumped in for a few cheeky bites of the yummy cake. Such a fun way to capture that precious first birthday milestone.

Thank you for choosing me to capture these memories

This little cowboy celebrated turning one with his very own mini rodeo, and the cake never stood a chance.

Frosting on his fingers, crumbs everywhere, and the biggest grin. A little wild, a little messy, and completely adorable.

The perfect way to celebrate your first birthday!

Thank you for choosing me to capture this special milestone.

I recently had the nicest evening down at my favourite little spot on the beach. The sunset showed up in those soft, warm tones I love, and these two were absolute naturals at their maternity session.

Their first baby is on the way, and there was this calm, happy energy between them, two people taking in a pretty special time in their lives.

It was so relaxed and real and exactly why I love photographing maternity sessions - especially when there's an amazing sunset like this!

Thank you for choosing me to capture these special memories - looking forward to the news of baby's arrival!

Some sessions just melt you. This little guy arrived dressed in the cutest bear suit (truly beary cute) and my heart didn’t stand a chance. What made it even more special was his brother in studio promoted to his new role as big brother.

I photographed him as a newborn too, and watching him step proudly into his new role was the sweetest thing. He doted on his baby brother the entire time, full of gentle cuddles and curious little peeks.

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do, watching families grow and capturing the love that only gets bigger.

Thank you for your continued support, I appreciate you all so much!

Another beautiful Taranaki sunset with a family I’ve had the joy of photographing many times since they moved to New Plymouth.

There’s something so special about watching their little crew grow and capturing these golden, joy-filled moments on the beach together.

Thank you for your support over the years, it's an honour and a pleasure to capture so many moments for your family!

Another heart‑full maternity session with one of my beautiful repeat families.

I also captured their first maternity session then captured their sweet girl as a newborn, and watched her grow through so many Pop‑ins.

Now she’s about to become a big sister, and documenting this next chapter for them feels incredibly special. Repeat clients truly are the best compliment. I can’t wait to meet their newest little love soon.

Thank you for your continued support, appreciate you so much!

There’s something so special about photographing a family as it grows.

We had the most beautiful sunset maternity session, and it felt extra meaningful after capturing their first maternity photos, newborn photos, and their little one’s first birthday.

The light was dreamy, the evening was calm, and I can’t wait to meet their newest addition soon.

Thank you so much for your support it means the world to me.
