When you have grown up at the beach and are a sunrise gal, that is absolutely where your photoshoot with your family shall be ☀️

I couldn’t tell you how many sunrises I’ve seen Marika share on socials over the few years I’ve known her and now with baby boy in on the action. So I knew she would jump at the chance to do her first family shoot there. And what an epic sunrise it was…

My absolute favourite thing to add to a session is something very special to the families I work with. How great it will be for Markia & Brad to look back at these photos, taken at their special slice of the coast at their special time of the day 🥰

Last year, this beautiful family won my $1,000 family portrait experience after sharing why professional photos meant so much to them. They wanted to celebrate this season of life, with everyone together and making memories.

And that’s exactly what family portraits are about. Not waiting for the “right” time, when the kids are a little older, you’ve lost a little weight or when life slows down a bit. The moments worth remembering are the ones we’re living right now.

It was such a privilege to finally welcome this gorgeous family into the studio and create something they’ll be able to look back on for generations.

When you’ve been through hard seasons, you realise that just being together is worth celebrating.

Thank you for trusting me with your family’s story.

Coming soon…

I’ve been working on something special for Mother’s Day 🤍
Not quite ready to share all the details yet but it’s something close to my heart and very much for Mum.
If you’d love to be one of the first to hear when it’s released, comment “MUM” or send me a message and I’ll add you to the list.

Congratulations to for winning this year’s $1000 Family Portrait Experience, I’m so excited to photograph your family, grandies and all 💛

Thank you to everyone who entered, so many of you see the value of a family portrait, which lights me up! I will be contacting all the runners up who will recieve a $400 gift voucher soon!

✨ Brooklyn + Matty ✨

Last weekend I had the pleasure of Photographing Brooklyn & Matty’s wedding at Southwell school in Hamilton. My first wedding in 8 years! And my second wedding I’ve done within Brooklyn’s family.
It was such a lovely, relaxed wedding and I felt so lucky to be a part of their special day.

Heres a little peek into how it went…

🎉 It’s my business birthday...and I’m giving away something pretty special. 🎉

To celebrate not only my birthday but the launch of my new business name and website, I’m gifting one family a $1000 Family Portrait Experience 🤍

This isn’t just a quick photoshoot or a handful of images!
It’s a fully guided experience, where I help you capture your family as you are right now and turn those moments into something meaningful for your home.

The kind of photos you don’t just scroll past
but actually live with, every day.

As a mum of four, I know how quickly this stage passes. The way your family is right now, it won’t stay the same for long.
