I met these two at Taylor’s Mistake for our shoot – one of my favourite spots for Christchurch maternity photos. The palette there is gorgeous, and the sunset is always soft and beautiful. The night was uncharacteristically warm, and the water was still full of swimmers at 9 o’clock. It really felt like summer had […]

Little Maddi is just about the sweetest thing. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her mum and dad’s engagement, wedding, and her newborn photos. We caught up in Invercargill to celebrate her first birthday, and taste test the local flora of course, as kids do!

The Pol Family’s photos are proof that winter can be the perfect time to update your family snaps – muddy puddles and all! This is a lovely little spot in St Martin’s, Christchurch. Winter colours, winter weather, and snuggly knitted jumpers – perfection!

Before I moved to Christchurch I put out a call to find some mothers who’d like their pregnancy captured – I love maternity shoots and I was keen to meet other mothers, and start networking and making friends in Canterbury. Vannessa sent me a message and we met high above Christchurch in the Port Hills […]

The titles of my blogs are always my couple’s names but I really tossed up the idea of putting Lottie’s name in there too. Cassie and Nathan just adore their wee princess – she is the most loved and celebrated wee lady, and the way she looks at her parents is pure adoration. More and […]
