You might be wondering what is best for you, so let me explain... Time frame My mini sessions are 15 minutes long. You'd be surprised by what we can achieve in that time! It is fast paced and it can be great for little ones who have a short attention span, or older kids who... also have a short attention span. My full family and maternity sessions are 30-60 minutes long, which does allow us to slow the pace and get to know each other a little. This can suit some personalities better. That said, I do always aim to work quickly with young children in case they get over it quickly! Variety I always To View More >>

Having the right photos to represent your brand is essential. For Victoria Taylor’s branding session, we captured a mix of headshots and action shots to highlight every aspect of her work: her fitness apparel line VT Fit, her personal training and run coaching, and her advocacy for Men’s Mental Health Awareness in the trades. It only made sense for Victoria’s session to take place outdoors. With countless kilometers under her belt, the natural setting reflects her passion for movement and the lifestyle she lives every day. To View More >>

Capturing your baby’s milestones is one of the sweetest ways to preserve those fleeting first-year memories — whether it’s their first smile, those wobbly sits, or their first birthday. But you might be wondering, “What should my baby wear for their milestone session?” The answer? Keep it simple, timeless, and baby-friendly. Rompers or overalls are perfect for baby sessions as they are comfy for baby allow for easy movement, while also keeping nappies covered. The goal is to let their personality shine, and comfort plays a big part in that. Another option is a simple To View More >>

What is a Milestone Session? Miletone Sessions take place in my Mount Maunganui studio and are all about capturing the different milestones of your baby, child or bump as they grow. For babies changes are happening constantly - pushing up on their tummy, grabbing their feet,  crawling… my favourite stage to capture is once they can sit up on their own. So cute! For older kids, the changes are more gradual so you may choose to have their photos taken each year. It can be surprising how different they can be year to year!

Autumn has arrived and it's starting to feel chilly in the mornings! Autumn is a popular time for family photos because it's not so hot and sweaty running around and also sunset sessions can start a lot earlier than in the summer, which can be a lot easier when you have young children. Embrace the cuteness of snuggly jumpers and knits for cooler sessions. I'm always on the lookout for great locations for family sessions, and if you have something specific in mind I'm all ears! If beach sessions are your thing, you can view examples here and here. If you'd like to book a family session this To View More >>

When it comes to searching for a newborn photographer, it may feel quite daunting. There are different styles to consider - do you want a posed session? Lifestyle (unposed)? A mixture?
