Inspired by these cherished memories, I now have the privilege of capturing those fleeting, magical moments for other families. Over the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the art of posed and styled newborn and maternity photography. My images are crafted to reflect the richness and depth of those first few days of life. Like a landscape with its shadows, textures, and layers, my photography creates a sense of mood and timelessness, allowing each image to tell a story—a moment frozen in time to be cherished forever.
"How had I just created this beautiful baby?" I was immediately struck with awe.
As a mother to four adult children and a nana to three grandchildren, nothing compares to the profound moment of holding each of my newborns for the first time. The overwhelming sense of wonder and miracle in those moments still stirs deep emotions whenever I reflect on them or look at my own photographs.

I was Immediately struck with awe
I photograph families from my purpose-built home studio on our Pirongia Road property in Te Awamutu. It’s a private, welcoming space designed with newborns and young families in mind. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to see many families return with each new baby, allowing me to document their stories as their families grow.
I hold a current newborn safety handling certificate, so you can feel confident knowing your baby is in experienced and capable hands throughout their session.
I’m a New Zealand photographer and Master of Photography with Distinction. I’ve been recognised through the Newborn Photography Print Awards and was named a NZIPP Family Photographer of the Year 2025 finalist. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel to Italy to study fine art portraiture, an experience that continues to influence the way I approach light, styling and the timeless quality of my work.
Newborn photography holds a very special place in my heart. Those first days pass incredibly quickly, and it’s a privilege to preserve them for families. My hope is that one day, when your children look back at these photographs, they’ll see not only how tiny they once were, but how deeply they were loved from the very beginning.

1. Experience You Can Trust
My sessions are designed to capture your family’s story—honest connection, gentle details, and real emotion. Whether it’s a sleepy newborn curl or kids running wild in a forest clearing, I craft rich, layered images that feel like memories, not just photos.
2. Timeless, Emotion-Filled Images
No two families are the same, and your photos shouldn’t be either. I tailor every session to reflect your style—whether that’s earthy and neutral or colourful and textured. From the first questionnaire to the final gallery, I work with you to create something truly personal and meaningful
