For those fleeting, beautiful everyday chapters. No stiff studio setups...

The Outdoor Lifestyle Session (Family & Maternity)


On the wild, rugged coast of Gisborne or a meaningful outdoor location in nature.


The Vibe: Fluid, collaborative, and full of movement. We will walk, chase the golden hour light, play in the sand, and let your kids run wild. I don't capture a fabricated version of your family; I document the raw connection and how you naturally hold each other.


$ 550 NZD

The In-Home Documented Session


In the quiet, safe comfort of your own home (available in Gisborne and nationwide).



The Vibe: Warm, intimate, and slow-paced. As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I choose a completely organic approach. You won't find uncomfortable costumes or artificial baskets here. Your baby is perfect just as they are. We document your new rhythm: quiet feedings, tiny fingers catching the morning light, and the raw tenderness of those first days in your arms.


$ 550 NZD
