You can book by filling out the contact form on my website or emailing me directly. Once we lock in a date, I’ll send through all the details to help you prepare.
I recommend booking 6-8 weeks ahead, especially if you’re after a weekend session, those tend to go quickly!
Expect to have fun. My sessions are relaxed and playful. Don’t worry about keeping the kids still or asking them to “smile nicely” let them be wild, silly, curious. Cuddles, tickles, chaos, it’s all welcome here. I’ll gently guide you with some prompts and direction but mostly I’ll let the moments unfold naturally.
My photo studio is on my property in Kaiapoi. I photograph all over North Canterbury and regularly in Christchurch. If you’ve got another beautiful location in mind, let’s chat - I’m happy to travel.
Indoor sessions are usually in the morning around 10am when little ones are happy and settled. Outdoor sessions happen during golden hour, just after sunrise or just before sunset, when the light is soft and magical. I know those times can be tricky with young kids, but I promise the results are always worth it!
Full sessions last approx an hour and are slower-paced with plenty of time for real moments, natural smiles and letting everyone ease into it. Minis are 20-30 minutes and more structured. They’re perfect if you just need a few updated family shots.
Yes! A photo session makes a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Vouchers can be personalised and are valid for 12 months.
