Newborns stay new for such a short amount of time. Their teeny tiny little features, the way they can curl up, their little wrinkles and rolls, all their little perfections as well as their little imperfections too - the little milk spots, the dry flaky skin, all of these things change incredibly fast as they grow.
The optimum time to photograph a newborn is between 5 - 10 days. This is when they are at their most restful, easily settled, sleepy and therefore most comfortable during sessions.

In order to make sure you secure a booking for your newborn, it is important to contact me to reserve a date while you are still pregnant. I know birth dates are not exact but this way a space can be reserved for you and when your baby arrives we can confirm the date. If your newborn is already here, that’s ok, it may just mean we get more awake shots, and posing will be slightly different.
Newborn sessions take place at my Timaru home studio and a full session is typically 3 - 4 hours. This may sound like a long time but this allows for fussing, feeding and plenty of cuddles! I will never rush a session and I allow your baby to be the guide. His or her comfort and safety are my priority.

Babies grow and change before your eyes. They are pure, honest, innocent, funny, amazing and beautiful. I want to capture everything that makes your baby unique and reveal their true personality in a photograph, frozen in time.
My style is natural and uncomplicated placing focus on your perfect baby. I have endless amounts of patience and as with newborns, I allow your baby to guide the session. I am happy to photograph your baby at any time but the best times are from around 3-4 months when they have mastered tummy time and then around 6-7 months when they are sitting independently. This is when their true personalities shine through with lots of smiles and giggles. |

First birthdays are also a great time to book and what better way to celebrate such a special milestone than with a photoshoot! For cake smashes I will supply a designer cake as well as providing all the decorations. What comes next is completely up to your baby!
To me the perfect image is the most real. My family sessions are all about capturing genuine expression and having fun. I want your session to be as relaxed and enjoyable as possible with lots of laughter and giggles. Family sessions are the perfect way to capture the beautiful bonds between those you love the most.
Sessions can be held in studio for smaller families or in a local outdoor setting of your choice. Typically a session is approximately 1 hour but mini sessions are available too.
It is preferable for outdoor sessions to be held late in the late afternoon/evening at golden hour to in order to get beautiful light and avoid any harsh shadows.

Pregnancy is such a special time, from your changing body as the miracle of new life grows inside you to the beautiful anticipation of motherhood. Time is fleeting and in a heartbeat your new baby will be in your arms and you will forget how beautiful your body was during pregnancy and how it felt with your baby under your heart every day.
Maternity sessions can be done either in the studio or on location at sunset if you prefer. These sweet sessions are best booked between 32 - 36 weeks right when your tummy is nice and round but before most early arrivals so it is best to book these sessions nice and early. These sessions will focus mainly on you but we can absolutely include a significant other and other children.
I have a range of beautiful dresses and gowns at the studio and of course you are welcome to bring a selection of outfits of your own. You can bare as little or as much as you would like!
