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…
Spring is an amazing time for photography. The weather is just right, not too hot or too cold, and you don’t have to keep the kids up too late to capture those stunning golden hour photos. One of my absolute favorite places to shoot in Hamilton during spring is at the Cherry blossoms. The colors…
This season, I had the pleasure of working with an incredible second shooter named Holly.

From doing my own family photo shoots, I know that choosing outfits for your family photos can be really tricky and can cause a lot of stress for parents who…
The Bennett family are one of the most warmest and welcoming families I’ve ever met. We were only a few minutes into the shoot when we discovered we had loads of mutual friends, so immediately got chatting about the lovely people we both know, including my Dad who taught all four kids. I guess that’s…
The Pouwels extended family shoot in Waihi
