I am a Wanaka family portrait and landscape photographer. My portrait services include maternity, family and in-home newborn photos. I travel within Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago and look forward to capturing some precious memories for your family.

It’s all about your family’s special bond

I picture your children looking back on their family photos in years to come to remember what life was like when they were young. I want them to look at the photos and feel the unique and special bond that you shared as a family.

How do I achieve this?

I’m really down to earth and great with kids. I love creating a fun and relaxed environment so that you can all be yourselves and get the best out of your family portrait experience.

I’ve photographed hundreds of babies and young children, many of which were in a fast-paced setting, so I quickly learnt the tricks and techniques to get children engaged and smiling at the camera.

But I also learnt that not everyone likes smiling and posing for the camera, so that’s why I’ll work closely with your family to get a mix of posed photos and your interactions with one another, so that everyone has memories to treasure.

The photos which show the special bond and connection that you have as a family are always my favourites.

I’ve even photographed Dad’s before who were very skeptical about having their photo taken but left having really enjoyed their experience and they returned for future photos.

I want you to love your photos

If the conditions aren’t perfect for your session, I’ll reschedule to another date because I want you to love your photos.

I can also capture some pretty special memories in-home too, perfect for when you’re adapting to life with a newborn or keeping your toddlers entertained while we get some photos of your new baby.

Your kids will also really love looking back to see what their home life was like because we all know that these memories fade over time.

I know how fast kids grow and change

I used to photograph babies and children month by month and I couldn’t believe how fast they grew and changed. Fast forward to now with helping to raise my partner’s two school aged boys, it’s still happening right before my eyes. So I know the importance of capturing all of the special moments that I want the boys to look back on when they’re older.
