How It Works
 
1.Fill out the form
 
Provide as much detail as possible, this will help me understand your family dynamics.
What makes you all tick and the vision!
 
 
2.Before Your Session
 
We begin with thoughtful planning.
You’ll receive guidance on styling, location, and timing so everything feels cohesive and effortless.
For families travelling, I help you choose places that feel meaningful - wild coastlines, quiet forests, open fields, or the landscapes that make New Zealand unforgettable.
 
 
3.During Your Session
 
Sessions are relaxed, child‑led, and rooted in presence. I don’t pose you into stiff shapes or ask for perfect smiles. Instead, I create space for genuine interaction - the laughter, the tenderness, the in‑between moments that reveal who you are to each other.
 
 
4.After Your Session
 
You’ll receive a curated gallery of artful, editorial images that feel timeless and deeply personal.
From there, you can choose fine‑art prints, albums, or wall pieces designed to become part of your family’s legacy.
 
For Families Travelling to New Zealand
New Zealand is a place where landscapes and emotion meet — and your photographs should reflect that.
Whether you’re here for a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip or returning to a place that feels like home, I help you create images that feel like part of your journey. I understand the light, the weather, and the rhythm of travelling with children, and I build your session around ease, flexibility, and genuine connection.
Your photographs become more than a record of your visit — they become part of the story your family will tell for years.

FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
You don’t need to perform or pose. I’ll lead you gently, create natural moments, and make sure you feel comfortable from the very first frame.
What should I wear?
Think timeless and effortless, soft neutrals, natural textures, and clothing that moves with you. These tones create a cohesive, elevated look and let the emotion lead the image.
How many pictures will I receive?
I deliver a curated collection of approximately 60–100 images, chosen for their emotion, storytelling, and artistic quality.
Are you available outside of New Plymouth?
Absolutely. I take on a limited number of destination sessions throughout New Zealand, creating art in the places that matter most to you. I am open to travelling overseas too.
Do you shoot weddings?
Absolutely. I offer intimate, connection‑driven small weddings with a focus on documenting emotion, movement, and beautifully cinematic storytelling.
Where will our shoot take place?
Your session can unfold in one of my carefully chosen outdoor locations, or somewhere meaningful to you. I’ll guide you toward spaces with beautiful light, texture, and atmosphere to elevate your images.
