Little Miracles Trust

We are raising money for the Little Miracles Trust. Photographing babies 0-1 year old.

We’ve been working with the Little Miracles Trust for over 8 years and have raised over $35,000 for them
The Little Miracles Trust help support the families of premature babies going through NICU or SCBU
Each baby photographed can be included in our book, “Tiny Fingers, Tiny Toes.”

For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with the Little Miracles Trust. I’ve seen through my clients how much their support means to families with babies in NICU.

As a mum of four, I know how quickly those early days pass — one moment they’re tiny in your arms, and before you know it, that baby stage is gone. That’s why I’m so passionate about capturing these fleeting moments through timeless, heartfelt portraits.

Baby Portrait session, family can be included (value $200)
$200 towards photography purchases (value $200)
Your baby will go in our Tiny Fingers, Tiny Toes book (opt out if you prefer).
5% of your purchase goes to the Little Miracles Trust

I will be in touch soon with further details

The money raised for The Little Miracles Trust goes towards the emergency care packs

Each year The Little Miracles Trust supply more than 4,000 emergency care packs to Aotearoa's 23 neonatal units: one for each whanau who has a baby admitted to a unit. These iconic purple packs are carefully curated. They are made up of practical yet thoughtful items which will be of use during the whanau’s journey.

An Amy Cope Photography Client Shares Their Experience with the Little Miracles Trust

Our son, Noah was born at 35 weeks and he spent the following 75 days in the NICU, PICU and Ward 23B, the cardiac ward. Noah was born with a cleft lip and palate which was diagnosed antenatally but as we found out once he’d arrived, Noah also had some cardiac abnormalities. The support we received from the Little Miracles Trust was instant. We were gifted a little purple cooler bag with an array of goodies for mums and bubs to use during that time in NICU. I didn’t know it at the time but in hindsight, it was like a sign of a membership to a club you never signed up for. Spotting other parents with their LMT bags in the corridors meant you shared something in common, a look to say “I get it!” was always shared.

Chavvah was working in the LMT office when we were there and she would always pop in, see if we were okay, offer check-ins, meals and just normal chat which was incredible. It was so lovely to see a familiar face who wasn’t in the medical profession, she was there for us as Noah’s parents, and we truly valued those moments greatly. I also found the One in Ten podcast during our time on the NICU and found listening to other people's stories reassuring that we were not alone during such an unknown time.

In our Little Miracles Trust bag was a gift voucher for Amy Cope Photography. We always knew we wanted to get some professional photos taken early of Noah, especially with his cleft lip, so it was perfect that the opportunity presented itself so easily for us. Booking was really simple, Amy was understanding of our delays and having to change our booking due to Noah still being in hospital. When we finally had our photo session Amy’s studio was perfect; well equipped for warming bottles and she never rushed us or Noah. She was prepared, had things to hand if we’d forgotten something and guided us in deciding what clothing to wear to complement each other. We couldn’t have been happier with the photos that were captured, of such a special time in our lives when Noah finally made it home.

Thank you so much to the Little Miracles Trust for all they do for the littlest miracles, but also their families who so gratefully receive the support we didn’t know we needed.

About Amy

Hi, I’m Amy, a photographer with over 22 years of experience, including more than 16 years photographing newborns. I have a degree in fashion, so I’m a bit obsessed with texture, colour and all things beautiful, and it shows up in my work behind the camera.

I’m a proud member of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography, an NZIPP Master Photographer with Distinction and the 2026 Newborn Photographer of the Year.

I’m also a mum of four, so I know exactly how fleeting those newborn days are. I still remember the rush of love when my first daughter was born. I couldn’t stop staring at her tiny perfection, and I would have done anything to make time slow down. With each of my children that joy grew, and so did my photography, because I was soaking up every little detail: the lashes, the tiny fingernails, the way they curled up so perfectly.

After 22 years behind the camera, I still love this work, and I know how much these photos end up meaning to you. Whether it’s your brand new baby, a wriggly one-year-old or the whole family, my job is to make you feel comfortable and give you images that show exactly how things are right now. One day you’ll look at them and wonder where the time went, and you’ll be so glad you have them.
