Capturing the most important and life changing First Days that can sometimes be a blur
Take the hassle out of Newborn photos by having photos in your home - I bring the studio to you, anywhere within the Manawatu/Rangitikei area and I’m happy to travel further for an additional fee.
This is such an easy process in those busy newborn days. Capturing photos of your newborn, your family and yourself without having to leave home means that you have everything you need without having to pack a bag. Doing photos this way works well for toddlers and older siblings also, they are in their own surroundings and if they get bored or are done with pictures they can wander off to play with their own toys.
With all of that said, I do now offer the option of a studio set up at my home.
Some people simply don't like their space, or don't have enough space, so I have decided to offer it as an option. It is a lovely, light bright space that will be set up both studio style and life style for more options.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very First Days Package
​
A delicate and almost 'from-a-distance' mini session where baby is photographed within the first 48 hours of being born.
Images in these sessions are usually focused on capturing the beautiful new bond forming between baby and parents and are all natural and squishy.
​
Since these sessions are done so soon after birth the sessions are kept short - but still enough time to capture precious memories. Usually around 30-45min.
​
Whats included:
- Lifestyle images captured either in hospital or at home
- A selection of up to 6 edited digital images.
​
PRICE
$290
​
*Please note that due to current Covid restrictions photographers may not be able to visit hospital to take photos. Booking this package may mean the session cannot go ahead if you are in hospital longer than 48hrs after baby is born.

Professional Photo Printing
Please get in touch if you would like me to organise Professionally printed photos, framed images and albums.
These are printed in New Zealand using a Professional Photographer-only company who provide top quality prints.
Their work is stunning and I highly recommend getting your images printed this way to keep the beautiful, long

I will organise the printing, check the quality once they have arrived and have them delivered to you, all usually within approximately 10-12 days. In some cases I will hand deliver the items, especially in instances when a frame has been ordered or the images are large in size.
​
Please let me know if you would like to discuss these options more.
