rest for you and your babe

AN ATMOSPHERE OF

I bet your mind is racing, I can still remember the emotional flood that consumed my mind; you are suddenly in charge, you’re a Mum now. My advice - love on them now. It's true how fast they grow. Let the washing wait, the dishes can sit a while longer, stay in the moment, linger, cuddle on the couch, inhale them in, and get the photos. You will forget so much about how tiny and vulnerable they are, also how vulnerable you are right now. This is a celebration, a time to enjoy and a time to remember!

CAPTURING IMAGES FOR YOU & YOUR BABE, SO THEY'LL HAVE A FIRM STAMP ON THEIR IDENTITY - I AM LOVED. I AM TREASURED. 

I start to dream and create images in my mind of how YOU want to see your brand new baby captured. Not only do I document the sweetness of your baby but I also want to capture your loving gaze and adoration towards their newness. For your babe, I want them to look back on these images when they're older and see the love between their parents, the joy and celebration of their arrival and to know they've been treasured and loved from the beginning.                                           

From the first time we connect...

Ange is an absolute dream. She made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoot which has been reflected in the beautiful moments captured.
Not only is Ange an incredible photographer but she is a baby whisperer and was able to settle our brand new baby and give us tips along the way.
Ange has amazing vision and goes the extra mile to get the perfect shot.
We are so thankful we were able to capture such a special time in such a beautiful way.
Thank you Ange

Amazing photographer! Ange is professional and captured my maternity and our baby’s new born photos. She is super sweet but experienced, giving clear instructions of what we needed to do. The photos have come out beautifully stunning and we couldn't be happier.

These are photos we will cherish and hold close to our hearts, for the rest of our lives.

Ange you did such an incredible job with our photos. Such a relaxing atmosphere and so patient (when your model didn’t want to sleep). I love every single photo you did. You are so talented. Would highly recommend you to anyone after photos. And can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you a million times!

I could not recommend Ange enough! She did a newborn and family shoot for us and I was completely blown away with her photos! She did such a fantastic job throughout the whole session, keeping my son relaxed, being so gentle and loving. My husband and I absolutely love all the photos we received and have had amazing feedback from friends and family. Will definitely be using Ange again in the future!

My husband and I absolutely love all the photos!

Ange is so lovely and her photography is beautiful. We absolutely cherish our photos, I highly recommend to everyone! You will not be disappointed. If you want photos that you just can't stop looking at everyday, Ange is the one! 

She was so accommodating with our 3yo and 2yo also. The quality is amazing and all the photos we received are exactly what we wanted. Thank you again Ange!

"We absolutely cherish our photos."

Our newborn photo shoot experience was absolutely magical. I was a nervous (and very tired) new mum but the whole process was comfortable, respectful and produced the most amazing images of my tiny human 💙

I would most definitely recommend LifeLab Photography to everyone. Your photographic vision is listened to and the end product is just breathtaking - I can not thank Ange enough for capturing this moment in time for us.

We allow for longer sessions, so we can stop and calm baby or feed if needed, This is one of the reasons we photograph babies in the first 2 weeks,  they are still so sleepy and curly. 

What if my baby is unsettled?

Anytime in the first 14 days is ideal,  not essential, Babies are very sleepy in the first 2 weeks and after that they become more aware of their surrounds and environment,  

When is the best time to get our newborn images done?

I send you out  proof files,  they are unedited images taken on the day,  you choose the ones you want from around 100 pictures and then I edit the ones you love,  its about a 2 to 3 week turnaround. 

How long until I see my images?

I work from a purpose built home studio  and am on a rural property just on the town boundary in Te Awamutu.

Where are you located?

The mini session takes an hour,  and the full Newborn session can take up to 3 hours depending on feed stops but usually from 1 and a half to 2 hours

How long will my session take

Yes,  I can take part payments and release all images once your package is fully paid.
