Portraits
Life is forever changing & you just don’t know what it’s going to bring. Kids grow up super fast before your eyes (don’t I know it!), & a loved one can be cruelly taken away unexpectedly.
It’s so important to remember to document our lives so we can share our memories with our nearest & dearest & show your images on your walls at home.
I love getting together with families for a shoot. I try really hard to ensure that it isn’t boring – after all, who wants to be smiling stiffly into a camera? We’ll make some fun of it, go for a walk… jump on the tramp… hang out at home… just you being you. We’ll get a few snaps of everyone looking at the camera because lets be honest, those are the ones that Grandma is going to love, but personally I know the images I love of my family are the ones where we are laughing, tickling, & running around… the ones showing genuine emotions.
Session fee’s are $150 for a 1hr shoot, this covers my time during the shoot, any consultation beforehand & any location scouting. The purchase of digital files, prints, canvas or albums is additional.
What should we wear for our portrait session?
Ah.... the age old question.
I'd suggest something you feel amazing in! It's all well & good getting dressed to the nines & putting on your sky high heels... but if you aren't feeling comfortable, it shows!
If you are being photographed with other people, try & choose complementary colours... you don't want to look exactly the same as each other (i.e. all white tops & all in jeans) as that can look too matchy matchy. Layering & patterns work well too... but please, stay away from brands or logos emblazoned all over your clothing... it's distracting to the eye.
I'd suggest checking out Pinterest!
You might also like to think of where you plan to display your photos? What colours would go with the decor in your lounge for instance?

Do you travel outside of Auckland for portrait shoots?
Generally not. However, give it a go, you might be able to twist my arm. There will be a travel fee though.
We want to book you! What's the next step?
Get in touch via the contact page & we'll go from there. We'll lock in a date, & all you need to do is pay your session fee to confirm your booking.
We've scheduled an outdoor shoot - what happens if it's raining on the day of our shoot?
I'm more than happy to go ahead if it's just showering. However if there is a major downpour we'd be best to reschedule for another time. I'm more than happy to reschedule due to weather.
We can't make our scheduled shoot - can we reschedule?
Clients can reschedule their shoot twice, more than this & an additional fee will be charged.
When will our images be ready?
In approximately 2 weeks.
