I’m new to Niagara Falls, having moved from Switzerland to Canada, but I’m not new to the world of photography. I’ve been a photographer since 2007. I started out with pet, street, and portrait photography. 2013 was the year I specialized in newborn, baby and maternity photography - the year I truly found my passion. Tiny Moments Photography isn’t just a business - it’s where my heart truly belongs.

Amy Mulford
Amy Mulford is the creative force behind Iris & Willow Photography. She is a newborn photographer with nearly a decade of experience capturing the tiniest, most meaningful moments. Her work has been recognized with multiple awards and featured in national publications, but what matters most to her is creating images that feel timeless, genuine, and centered on baby. Amy's style is bold and contrast-driven, with a focus on the baby rather than elaborate setups. She believes babies are already perfect - her job is to simply capture that in a way that feels artistic and real. Before becoming a photographer, Amy worked as a labor and delivery nurse. That experience shaped everything about how she approaches newborn sessions, especially when it comes to safety. Every baby's well-being is always her top priority, and every pose and setup is done with careful attention and training. Amy is also passionate about mentoring and loves teaching other photographers the skills, safety practices, and artistic approach behind her work.

Racheal Trail
With over 15 years behind the lens, and more than 8 years specialising in maternity and newborn photography, I bring both experience and a deep sense of care to every session. My journey began capturing the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. When life on the farm kept me closer to home, I discovered something even more meaningful, photographing children. I fell in love with their laughter, their energy, and those fleeting, genuine moments that can never be recreated. That passion naturally grew into maternity and newborn photography, and it’s here that I truly found my calling.
