The greatest compliment is being invited back.

"Amandine’s work is incredible. When I was looking for a newborn photographer, her photos instantly stood out to me by how natural and beautiful they were. We have now had an outdoor newborn shoot and a Christmas mini with Amandine and she is such a pleasure to be around!She went above and beyond with both our shoots to capture every tiny detail and even makes our little boy laugh so we got some amazing pictures of his adorable smile at 4 months old. I’ll be booking his one year old shoot soon (because there is nobody better to do it!) and would highly recommend Amandine to be your family photographer too!"

Hi, I'm amandine!

Mother, wife & the photographer behind Nouvelle Vie Photography.Half French & based in Banbury, I photograph all the seasons of family life across Oxfordshire & the surrounding counties – from growing bumps & birth to newborn cuddles, breastfeeding, milestones & all the ordinary moments that matter most.I believe photographs are about so much more than how something looked - they're about remembering how it felt. The ordinary moments have a way of becoming the ones we miss most. That's why preserving this season of your family's story means so much to me.

Every family is different.
Every session is too.

What to expect

  • A calm, relaxed session with no pressure to perform.

  • Time to laugh, play, cuddle & stay in the moment.

  • Children are free to be themselves - no pressure to sit still, smile at the camera or "behave".

  • Gentle guidance when you need it, with plenty of space for real moments to unfold.

  • Photographs that feel like memories.

This season of your life won't last forever.That's all the reason you need.

Ready when you are!

Let's plan your dream session.Whether you already know exactly what you're looking for, or you're not quite sure which session is right for your family, I'd love to hear from you.Every enquiry starts with a conversation, so tell me a little about yourselves & we'll create something that feels completely you.

but before you go..

Here are a few questions I'm asked all the time. If yours isn't here, I'd love to hear from you.

No, and that's a very deliberate choice.

To me, the best backdrop has never been four white walls. It's the home you've built together, the places your children already know and love, or somewhere outdoors that's already part of your family's story. The woodland where you walk every Sunday, your favourite picnic spot, the field where your children love to run, or the beach you've visited every summer.

Those places already mean something to your family, which is exactly why I love photographing you there. The photos become about your life, not just the people in them.

And if your family includes a dog (or any other pet), they're always welcome too. They're part of your family story just as much as everyone else.
