I accidentally learned something about confidence at my 40th birthday party. The theme was Never Grow Up, and I went full cowgirl Barbie. Pink two-piece, boots, the lot. And as I looked around the room, everyone was having way more fun than usual. Not because anyone needed permission to have fun, but because dressing up […]

Elle wanted a chilled out, natural newborn session at home with their spaniel Otis and new addition baby Émile. I loved their renovated Villa in Cambridge and the beautiful light it produced for their newborn images. As a Lifestyle Photographer, home sessions are a perfect fit for families, as they deliver the ideal balance of […]

Spring is an amazing time for photography. The weather is just right, not too hot or too cold, and you don’t have to keep the kids up too late to capture those stunning golden hour photos. One of my absolute favorite places to shoot in Hamilton during spring is at the Cherry blossoms. The colors […]

This season, I had the pleasure of working with an incredible second shooter named Holly. As a photographer, I understand the importance of having someone reliable and talented by your side during shoots. Holly has been invaluable to me, always offering her support and working hard to capture amazing shots. But, like many photographers, Holly […]

Stephens parents and my parents are besties so we’ve known each other since we were babies so I was super stoked to hear he was engaged and that they wanted me to be involved in their Wedding! Stephen and Anita wanted some photos to use for their Wedding invite and I think they are going […]

I was beyond excited to photograph Brooke & Willem, at this legendary beach on Singer Island. Brooke and I met on a facebook group when we were living in Florida and had planned to do a photoshoot swap. Unfortunately, thanks to Covid, we left Florida quickly and never got our session in, but I’m stoked […]

The Martyns had been planning their shoot with me for years, and for one reason or another (I’m looking at your Covid +other health issues!) we just hadn’t got to it. So I was pumped to be on my way out to sunny Raglan to photograph this family. Little did I know that Kelly, who […]

The Turners Raglan family photo session was one of those shoots that started out a little crazy, and in all honesty, half way through I wasn’t sure if I had more than a handful of good photos for them. I remember Nicole looking at hubby and saying’ this is a bit of a disaster!’. But […]

Taylor and her family are repeat clients who have used me for all their milestone shoots and I’ve developed such a fondness for them! It started with Taylors first pregnancy, followed by wee Violets newborn shoot. I’ve also captured their Wedding and subsequent family shoots, including the one you see below! Taylor sent me some […]

Ever wondered how a Maternity shoot works? When to book? Where’s the best place to go? Then read on for a little more about my Maternity shoot process! Maternity sessions can be booked anytime from 28 weeks (depending on bump size!) and I recommend booking no later than 37 weeks. Maternity sessions are typically done in […]

It was such a pleasure to photograph this beautiful family, who shared the arrival of their new baby boy with me. Newborn shoots are one of my fav sessions, the newness of that time is so special and so fleeting! I also love being able to capture this time in my clients homes which makes […]

I’ve photographed Brydie and Ben a few times before and I knew wee Florence would be just as photogenic as her Mummy and Daddy. Brydie is a fashion designer and I loved seeing all the little outfits she was creating for Florence using fabric from her collections. Their home is a 1918 bungalow with some […]

It’s such a compliment to be chosen by someone in the Wedding industry, so I was thrilled when Yvette asked me to create some family photos for her. With six kids I’m not sure where she found the time, but Yvette, created the most gorgeous floral crowns for her girls, a very talented florist you […]

Can we just talk about how sweet this family is?! And how beautiful is the colour palette of their outfits against that dramatic Raglan landscape?! From doing my own family photo shoots, I know that choosing outfits for your family photos can be really tricky and can cause a lot of stress for parents who […]

The Bennett family are one of the most warmest and welcoming families I’ve ever met. We were only a few minutes into the shoot when we discovered we had loads of mutual friends, so immediately got chatting about the lovely people we both know, including my Dad who taught all four kids. I guess that’s […]

Sara left her teenage boys at home to capture these memories of her youngest Eva who is just about to start school❤️ Last time I photographed Eva she had just turned one and I loved seeing the beautiful and intelligent little girl she has turned into!!

I’ve been photographing this family of four since little Knox was a newborn and every six months ever since and I’ve loved seeing the kids go from babies to little people. Knox has somtimes been a reluctant subject but he’s starting to warm up to me 😉 Raglan was chilly and windy, but oh so […]

I often have people tell me that they are ‘unphotogenic’ and am very used to having reluctant subjects in front of my lens 🙂 But, I strongly believe that everyone can look great in photos and that a photo shoot shouldn’t be a painful experience! I also think being photographed by someone that can use light […]

Here’s something a little different for those that are looking for a shoot location that is a little more industrial! Overlooking the Waikato River, the Riverbank Lane was the perfect starting point for photos of this wee family of three. We finished at a Sunny rooftop of a nearby carpark for golden hour, what a […]

Lauren is my oldest friend. Her Dad was in my parents Wedding, I was bridesmaid in her Wedding, and she in ours. We have baby photos together and now I get to photograph her babies.  Our kids are forced friends, both siblings born six months apart just like we were. Its a little bit of […]

Cars, lines, signs. Distracting pedestrians. More distracting signs. These are the things I would normally avoid like a rash on a shoot. So when Tash and Arie suggested we photograph at a Hamilton central parking garage I decided to embrace the idiosyncrasies and imperfections of an urban location.   This was the creative photo shoot we had planned […]

It’s like a Scandinavian Airbnb and your dream Pinterest board had a baby, and that baby grew up to be the studio of our dreams. With creamy textures, soft natural light, warm wood tones, and effortlessly cool styling, this space was designed for photographing in! Who’s it for? Why Shoot here? The Light… Chef’s Kiss We’re talking […]
