Families being families ♥

Memories you’ll want to keep on your wall.

I love nothing more than to capture a family being themselves, relaxed and having fun, and creating an image that best reflects your personality.

Rather than perfectly posed images, I prefer to focus on capturing candid, heartwarming moments. My aim is for you to walk away with a memory that’ll make you smile every single day.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Come as you are

Don’t worry about having to sit your kids still and getting them to behave. I’m well used to moving targets and am happy capturing them as they are. In fact, it’s not unusual for me to end up rolling around alongside them. And if creating that love-filled memory means we need to be a little flexible – perhaps your newborn is just having a bad day or we need to wait for better Wellington weather - don’t worry, we’ll work together to make it happen.

NEWBORN & MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Capture your baby journey

When you come in for maternity or baby photography, you can expect your experience to be relaxed, gentle and unhurried. It won’t be over-posed with props. It’s all about capturing everything you feel for your life-changing new arrival.

You’ll find info, along with more info about what to expect and why I personally print many of the images in my blog.

Get priceless memories with a personal touch

Ok, we all know priceless still comes with a price, so here’s the detail you’re looking for! 

The sitting fee for our family photography experience starts at $145. This includes travel to location shoots within the Wellington region. Finished packages start at $540 for a three-print collection. If you love the experience and results as much as many of my clients, you might expect to pay around $2200 for a mix of digital options and printed artwork you can appreciate every day.
