Photography that captures real moments that matter

AUCKLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, AUTHENTIC, CAREFREE, AND BEAUTIFULLY UNSCRIPTED SESSIONS.

Planning a family photoshoot can feel overwhelming—coordinating outfits, getting everyone there on time, and making sure it all feels natural. That’s where I come in.

I love creating images that capture your family’s unique story, whether it’s a family session, newborn moments, or a pregnancy shoot. My goal is to make every session relaxed, fun, and true to you—no stiff poses or forced smiles, just genuine laughter, play, and connection.

I put my heart into photographing you as honestly as possible, from planning your session and choosing a meaningful location to capturing both the big moments and tiny details. The result? Beautiful, natural images that truly reflect your family and the moments that matter most.

Life is full of precious and magic little moments, smiles, laughter and joy. These incredibly fast fleeting times make preserving these memories so valuable, giving you treasured photographs that you can look back on for years to come.

THE PROCESS

1. BOOK YOUR SESSION

To book your session, send a message via my contact page or an email. We’ll discuss over email or phone what you’re after and select the right package, location and date. You will receive a session guide with styling suggestions and preparation tips, complete a short questionnaire and confirm your booking with a $200 deposit.

2. THE SHOOT

This is the fun part! We'll meet at the agreed location and time to capture some beautiful images of you and your family. It’s my goal to make you comfortable so you can relax and focus on having a wonderful time with your family. You don’t have to be worried about not knowing what to do in front of the camera, I'll provide plenty of guidance and will do everything I can to make it as stress free and fun.

3. VIEWING YOUR IMAGES

I will carefully select and edit your images, creating a cohesive online gallery that you'll receive via a link within 1-2 weeks. You can then choose which images to include in your package. Your digital files will be available for download within 4-6 weeks. Be sure to back them up. If you need help with printing, framing, or creating a book, I’m happy to assist.

FAQ

  • Every session is unique and I will work with you to find the best suited location to you and your family.

  • I allow 60-90min for family photoshoots and 2-3hours for newborn photography. I never rush it and understand that working with kids can be unpredictable and I’m happy to take drink and snack breaks if needed.

  • Once you have booked your session you will receive a link to a styling and session guide that will help to dress the whole family and prepare you for the shoot.

  • If you are unwell for your session please let me know as early as possible. If you or your little one is unwell we can reschedule for another day, no problem. Please give as much notice as possible. If rescheduling with less than 24hrs notice a rescheduling fee may apply.

  • If the weather isn’t favourable, it is best to reschedule and I’ll reach out with some options. Typically we wait until the day of the shoot to determine if a reschedule is needed, as weather can change suddenly.

  • No. I spend a lot of time editing your images to make them look beautiful and with an artistic and cohesive look to them. I do not make people look different / skinnier / smoothen skin / alter appearances.

  • Absolutely! Dogs are always welcome at my family photo sessions. Just let me know beforehand and we will make sure to find a suitable location where your pooch can come along.

  • Having the digital files gives you the most freedom. You can use the photos for Christmas cards, calendars, prints, canvas, frames. Or simply make a beautiful slideshow or photo book. The key is not to leave the images on your computer where you will never have the chance to view them.

I am always looking for new ways to capture memories of growing families. Photoshoots are available in Auckland, Muriwai, Piha, Omaha, Orewa, Cornwall Park and more.
