Portraits with a little bit of art in them.
I'm a solo photographer working from a studio in Waubra and on location across regional Victoria. I love making pictures that feel like the people in them, warm, considered and a little unexpected.
Whether it's your family, a fresh new baby, a milestone worth marking or a glamour session that's entirely for you, my job is to make the whole thing feel easy and to send you home with images you're proud to hang on the wall.

“Amanda went above and beyond with my boys photo shoot. Her studio is comfortable, warm and welcoming. She's so easy to get along with and makes you feel great. Highly recommend. All my photos are gorgeous!”
“Highly reccomend! Recently had baby photos done and I am so in love with every single photo! From the first moment of stepping into the studio we felt so comfortable and welcome, a warm, comfortable environemnt with beautiful backdrops, props and a great space for all ages! Nothing was a bother and Amanda was so patient with bubs needing breaks for feeds or to settle between shots. I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and the experience from first communication has been nothing short of professional and amazing.”
“I cannot recommend Akira-Bella Photography enough, she helped out my small business with some photos of our shop and she did an amazing job capturing the personality of the space! She's also super accomodating and an absolute joy to work with. Look no further for all your photography needs”
