About Me

I am a Manawatu based mum of two who simply loves being able to provide long lasting memories for families. 

Being a parent to young children I know how fast those first days fly by and so First Days was created!

​

First Days is run solely by myself - I am a busy creative through and through. More late nights than I care to admit, but every piece is worth it! I hand finish every single keepsake whether it be sanding stone sculptures, painting, refining, or finishing framing etc - I do as much of it as possible.. Including all of my website and branding, so bear with me if a link doesn't work, and totally let me know!

​

I was previously a nurse which has helped me also be confident in taking castings of those who have passed away. It is a very natural and comfortable process for me, taking memorial castings and I never take for granted the huge honour it is to create those particular keepsakes for families. 

I look forward to working with you and capturing those special moments of you and your family with your new addition.
