Last week, I had the absolute treat of visiting Laura MacDonald at her Te Akau lifestyle block in Waikato. If you don’t know Laura, she’s the face behind Kiwi Country Girl—a blogger, Instagram influencer, and all-around legend with 30K followers. She shares everything from raising her country kids to simple, delicious family recipes, garden hacks,…
I loved reconnecting with the Roseman family recently, who had added another member to their Whanau since I had seen them last. Knowing that the kids would need space to run and play l sourced a quiet, private driveway in Hamilton, away from the hustle and bustle of the blossom-loving crowds. Blossoms are one of…
Elle wanted a chilled out, natural newborn session at home with their spaniel Otis and new addition baby Émile. I loved their renovated Villa in Cambridge and the beautiful light it produced for their newborn images. As a Lifestyle Photographer, home sessions are a perfect fit for families, as they deliver the ideal balance of…

So we finally managed to squeeze it in a week before Christmas. The kids hadn’t been photographed since Ollie was a newborn so it was pretty special to be able to…
The Hamilton family came to visit me at home in Cambridge last week for a Spring shoot to celebrate Georgie turning one. I’ve known Sarah since we were five and as a child she was a gentle kind soul who was drawn to beauty and colour. Twenty five years later and this creativity has been fine tuned…
