The Experience
“Super relaxed and so easy to be around — it felt like we’d known you forever. The photos were stunning and not cringe at all!”

Why Parents Choose Me
Welcoming a new baby is such a tender time, and many parents arrive with worries — “What if my newborn cries the whole time? What if I don’t look good in the photos? What if my toddler won’t cooperate?” These are the most common concerns I hear, and every session is designed to gently take those worries away.
- Calm, baby-led sessions with plenty of time — no rushing, no pressure.
- A cosy Matamata studio kept perfectly comfortable for little ones.
- Gentle posing guidance so parents feel relaxed and natural in every image.
- Patience and experience with siblings and toddlers — even the unpredictable ones.
- Timeless, natural style that looks beautiful today and for generations to come.
step one
reserve your session
The best time to book is while you’re still pregnant, as newborn sessions are ideally held within the first two weeks after birth. Send me an email or give me a call to secure your spot, and we’ll chat through your wishes and answer any questions so you feel fully prepared.
step two
the session
Sessions take place in my cozy home studio in the Matamata-Piako District. They’re baby-led, calm, and unhurried, with plenty of time for feeding and cuddles.
step three
after the session
Within two weeks, you’ll receive a beautiful online gallery. From there, you can choose your favourite images and decide on prints or albums.
step four
Keepsakes (Optional)
Your memories deserve more than just files on a screen. I offer heirloom prints and handcrafted albums designed to last generations.
