FAMILY PORTFOLIO

I’m feeling incredibly fortunate to photograph one of my dearest friends and her beautiful family in their breathtaking scenic hometown, Kaikoura. Grateful beyond words for these heartwarming experiences shared with friends and their beautiful growing family.

Nava’s beautiful family at Taylor’s Mistake. Her whole family is like sunshine and I felt so honoured to take these images for them.

From this gorgeous family’s previous sessions to now, it's been a joy watching their family grow. Welly has had the most amazing winter so far with so many breathtaking sunsets and still nights like this. I feel very lucky to have this spot of paradise on my doorstep.

I had the absolute honour of capturing Susie and Terry's wedding, so being reunited with this amazing family for a memorable photoshoot in Eastbourne (feat. Joey’s special car from Korea hehe) was amazing! They have the kindest souls and every time I’m with them they warm my heart with their precious words and thoughtfulness.

The light in winter and autumn is quite simply the best (not to mention the sun sets earlier, so sunset shoots are possible with your wee ones!) I headed up Mount Eden in Auckland on one of the most beautiful autumn nights with Jess, Tom and little Liam to create some magic. Click on the picture to view their story.

Awwwww it was the most super special time capturing these images for my lovely friends, Simon and Alana, just before their BEAUTIFUL pēpi, Marlow, arrived earthside.

Ohmygoodness, this was the most magical shoot, with my gorgeous friends, amongst a forest floor of forget-me-nots. They took me to this special spot in Christchurch - what childhood (and adult) dreams are made of.

A beautiful family in the most amazing setting, Castle Hill - I really have no words. It's only an hour and bit drive from Christchurch and it's MIND BLOWING! The only landscape I've seen similar to this is in Turkey. We frolicked around the rocks and created something pretty special. My job was made a bit too easy with this stunning family.

This was one of those shoots where everything went perfectly (aside from me standing in cow dung!) This gorgeous family brought all the energy in the world to their shoot, we had an amazing full moon, an epic sunset and, of course, the typical Welly wind. Click on the picture to view their story.

A huge perk when I visit my family in Christchurch is that I get to photograph my beautiful friends down there in locations that are super special to them. Here’s the beautiful Bowman family who had their shoot at the stunning John Britten Reserve.

I absolutely adore in-home sessions, just as much as outdoor adventures. They are a little more intimate and I can capture the moments you enjoy as a family at home. They are also perfect for newborn shoots. It was a rainy day for this shoot but there was a small break in the clouds, so we also quickly popped outside to get some shots by their amazing banana tree.

Te Mata Peak in Hawke's Bay quickly stole my heart and you will soon see why. It's one of my favourite spots to shoot and it's such a fun adventure to go on with families. The sunsets are incredible up there too but, even though the sun was hidden for this shoot, the light is still magic. Click on the picture to view their story.

Can you believe this waterfall is in central Auckland? The beautiful Waitzer family moments before it became rammed with people swimming and jumping off the top! Some of my family live in Auckland so I visit at least 3 times a year, so get in touch if you're in the area as I could co-ordinate a visit :) Click on the picture to view their story.

I usually do an annual Hawke's Bay trip and, lucky for me, this was my second shoot with this awesome family at Ocean Beach. Being by the ocean and shooting is the dream for me and it is also perfect for kids, as there is so much at the beach to entertain them ;) Click on the picture to view their story.

A snuggly sunset shoot, in the most incredible winter light, with this gorgeous family.

A stunning sunny morning spent with friends and their gorgeous ray of sunshine, Nora.
