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. As a photographer, I understand the importance of having someone reliable and talented by your side during shoots. Holly has been invaluable to me, always offering her support and working hard to capture amazing shots. But, like many photographers, Holly…
I’ve been photographing this family of four since little Knox was a newborn and every six months ever since and I’ve loved seeing the kids go from babies to little people. Knox has somtimes been a reluctant subject but he’s starting to warm up to me 😉 Raglan was chilly and windy, but oh so…

Having been through a separation in between times, this beautiful couple’s renewal of vows on their 10th anniversary was about remarrying and recommitting to each other in front of their…
I often have people tell me that they are ‘unphotogenic’ and am very used to having reluctant subjects in front of my lens 🙂 But, I strongly believe that everyone can look great in photos and that a photo shoot shouldn’t be a painful experience! I also think being photographed by someone that can use light…
Here’s something a little different for those that are looking for a shoot location that is a little more industrial! Overlooking the Waikato River, the Riverbank Lane was the perfect starting point for photos of this wee family of three. We finished at a Sunny rooftop of a nearby carpark for golden hour, what a…
Lauren is my oldest friend. Her Dad was in my parents Wedding, I was bridesmaid in her Wedding, and she in ours. We have baby photos together and now I get to photograph her babies. Our kids are forced friends, both siblings born six months apart just like we were. Its a little bit of…
This little family gave me sooo many precious moments to capture and I’ve had such a hard time deciding what to share. These guys wanted some images a little outside of the normal family photo shoot and Andy had the theme and location organised right from the start. Caroline had reluctantly informed me that there…
