Real moments. Real connection. Real you.
Natural, relaxed portrait photography for families who want to remember how it really felt — not how it was posed.
You know how it goes...
Another year rolls by and you realise you're not featured in a single photo with your kids. Or maybe you've been putting off booking a family session because you're worried about everyone cooperating (spoiler: they won't all look at the camera at the same time, and that's okay).
Here's what I believe: the best family photos aren't perfect. They're real. They're the ones where someone's laughing, the toddler's making a silly face, and you can actually see the love and connection between you all.
That's what I capture. Not stiff, forced portraits — but natural, authentic moments that feel like you.

Questions? I've Got Answers
What if my kids won't cooperate?
They probably won't — and that's completely fine! Some of the best shots come from the chaos. I'm patient, I've got tricks, and I know how to capture genuine moments even when things get a bit wild.
Where do sessions take place?
I'm based on the Coromandel Peninsula and most sessions happen at beautiful outdoor locations nearby — beaches, bush, farms, or even your own backyard. Studio sessions are also available.
What should we wear?
Wear something you feel comfortable in! I'll send you a styling guide after booking with tips on colours and coordination. Generally: soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully.
How do I book?
Just get in touch via my contact page. We'll have a quick chat, lock in a date, and I'll send you everything you need to prepare. A 50% deposit secures your session.
