FAQs

I am based in Rotorua, New Zealand. I can travel around Bay of Plenty, or even NZ, for an additional cost.

OK, firstly we will book a photography session based around your due date. We will book 1-2 weeks after the due date to give you time to recover. I suggest doing a New Born session within babies first 4 weeks of life. I strongly suggest the We Love Love 1-2 hour session as this gives us plenty of time to complete a photography session and capture everything you'd like.

Once the date is booked, we will then book the time. Usually 9:30/10am is the sweet spot. But I block my entire morning or afternoon off so I can work around you. I know how hard it is to get organised for a photoshoot especially when sleep deprivation is involved, and there are older siblings to get ready as well! The 1-2 hours allows for us to stop for baby to feed, nappy changes etc these sessions aren't rushed.

There's two options for location, either in your home which is comfortable and convenient in that you don't need to leave the house. The other option is my studio!

My style is very minimalistic, I do have some wraps and outfits should you like to use them. I do suggest checking out my gallery to see my style. I like to capture candid and memorable moments. Feel free to point out anything in particular you'd like captured - a sentimental toy, blankie etc as these really bring out the memories of newborn life when reflecting back on your photoshoot!

Your photoshoot will include you, baby and your partner, and any other children you have. Let me know if you'd like to include the grandparents as well! But try to keep it minimal - don't forget you will be tired from life with a newborn x

I suggest booking your maternity session between the 35-39 week mark, or earlier if your bump is well established.

There are two options for locations, first we can do an outdoor photoshoot, or you can choose to have the session in my studio.

The great thing about the studio is you can comfortably change in to different outfits throughout the photoshoot.

This brings me to the topic of wardrobe, flowy dresses are a hit, as well an oversized shirt and jeans unbuttoned. If you are comfortable we can also get some shots in your underwear and really show off the bump. I do offer free access to a client wardrobe.

Please feel free to include your partner and any older children in the photoshoot

These are great to capture yearly! I myself get my family photos done every year now that we have little ones. I love looking back and seeing how much they're grown.

These sessions include a family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids). If you'd like a larger family session with extended family members then please book the 1-2 hour session.

If this is the case then I suggest thinking about the different family combination photos you'd like captured.

Capturing photos of kids can be tricky, I will make the session fun and try and capture candid moments. If there is something or someone that usually gets the smiles then please bring along to the photoshoot!

Click on the Book Now button and fill out the Contact Form. I will reply to your email usually within 24 hours (please check your junk folder if you don't hear from me).

We will set a date and location for your booking, and payment in full is required to successfully book your spot

As a rough guide I would say anywhere between 50-100 images!

Absolutely! I have some very sneaky tricks up my sleeve to make you look natural and candid in the photos, you wont even feel like you are posing. I am also a MASSIVE fan of just taking documentary style candids, so either way you will have gorgeous photos to look back on

Oh I have been here before! Let me know if you are unsure what to wear and I will send you my free guide! I also have no problem with you sending me photos of potential outfits and I can help give you some direction in that department

The weather is super unpredictable sometimes, and even if it is forecast to rain it doesn't always follow through! For this reason we will keep our booking scheduled, and we will keep in comms an hour or two prior to your booking to confirm if we need to cancel or not. We will then schedule for another date and time that suits.

Usually the turnaround is 15 business days
