I’ve got to have the best job in the world, right?! I mean, who else gets to run around on the beach on a warm summer night, enjoying the last of the sunshine, looking out across the ocean, and getting swamped a rogue wave (luckily at the end of the shoot!) The Nel family moved […]

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!

A few years back, Lauren and Andy got in touch with me about their wedding photography. Since then, it’s been the biggest privilege to document their lives, and watch their family grow. Plato family, thanks for the continued faith you place in me to capture the precious moments. I am so bloody excited to meet […]

It’s always a particular honour to photograph another photographer and their family. Rosé is the face behind Rose Wilks Photography – Poppet, and you can find her beautiful work on Facebook. I had the pleasure of updating the Mahia family’s photos one spring (this weather though) evening in Southland.

Good things take time, and Kelly and Brenton have waited a long time to grow and meet their very own babe, and she’s almost here! I’ve known these two for a while now, and had the privilege of shooting Kelly at her sister’s wedding in recent years, and it was such a pleasure to be […]

This beautiful mama-to-be filled me with so much happiness! I love that expectant, excited glow that comes with the final part of pregnancy – when you’re only a few days away from holding your precious baby. I spent an evening with the gorgeous Steph at Queens Park in Invercargill to capture the last days of […]

The Newport family all got together for an early Christmas in October, so I headed out to the farm near Gore to capture some family photos for them.

Sarah and Roger chose the warmest night of the month for their engagement photos, so we headed out to Oreti Beach to soak up the evening sun. Of course wee George joined us for a few photos and his moment in the spotlight. I didn’t actually realise how cold it was until I got in […]

It’s a funny thing to be writing this blog in September, when Jagger was born in May. This wee man is the most handsome little four-month-old man you’d ever see now. Last month, I was called to Southland Hospital’s maternity ward for a different reason. In the room next to this one, I photographed a […]

Baby Plato hasn’t been born yet but he’s already one of the most loved babies on the planet. Lauren and Andy have been waiting for this wee man for a long time, and what an honour to capture this special time for them. After every storm comes a rainbow, and I can’t wait to see […]
