Samantha Liana Photography

Every laugh, every glance, every tiny hand reaching for yours, these are the moments that disappear in an instant but deserve to last a lifetime. I'm Samantha, a Perth photographer based in Perth, and I specialise in capturing real, unscripted connection rather than stiff, staged poses.


Whether you're expecting your first baby, growing your family, saying "I do," or building a brand that feels as genuine as you are, I'm here to turn your moments into memories you'll treasure for years to come. Raw. Genuine. Inspiring. That's not just a tagline – it's how every session is approached, from the first hello to the final gallery delivery.

Photography Sessions for Every Chapter of Life

From your growing bump to your wedding day and everything in between, life moves fast – and it's made up of small, fleeting moments that are easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I'm a Perth photographer who specialises in capturing genuine connection at every stage: the nervous excitement of a maternity session, the chaos and joy of a family with young kids, the quiet tenderness of a newborn's first days, and the pure happiness of a wedding or elopement day.

Hi, I'm Samantha!

I'm Samantha, a family, wedding and business photographer based in Tapping, WA. I'm all about capturing real, raw moments — not picture-perfect poses that don't actually feel like you. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me with my husband, our two kids, and our dog, always chasing the next adventure around WA.


Photography, to me, is more than a pretty picture – it's connection, emotion and legacy. Photographs hold memory and meaning long after the moment has passed, and I love being able to hand that back to the people who matter most to you. When you book a session with me, expect images that are honest, bold and deeply personal - true to life, not staged for the camera.

What Perth Families Are Saying

Aliesha & Shane

“WOW Sam just received our gallery in record time, 3 days after our photos and couldn't be happier! Sam was super flexible with our son being sick on the day our photos were booked. She was very professional and great with very our tired, grumpy kids ensuring they were laughing and smiling for our photos. Highly recommend using Sam for your next family portraits.”

Do you travel outside Perth?

Yes. Every session I offer includes a complimentary 80km round trip from my base in Tapping, so most of the Perth metro area is covered at no extra cost. If your location is further out, travel beyond that 80km radius is charged at a simple $0.80 per kilometre — just let me know your location when you enquire and I'll factor it into your quote.

What should I wear to my session?

Choosing outfits can be one of the more stressful parts of getting ready for a photoshoot, which is why most of my collections include complimentary access to my client wardrobe, along with styling advice to help you put outfits together that photograph beautifully and feel true to you. We can chat through options ahead of your session so you turn up feeling confident, not stressed.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your session date. You can book and pay your deposit directly through the booking page.

Where do sessions take place?

It depends on the collection. Family, couples, maternity and newborn sessions can take place at a location of your choice, whether that's your home, a favourite local spot, or a Perth beach. Corporate headshot sessions can be held either at your office or at my home studio in Tapping, whichever suits you best.
