Family

There’s nothing like a family portrait. Family photo shoots preserve fleeting moments and showcase your family dynamic. My family photography is vibrant, elegant and filled with connection. The photos will bring you joy the moment you first see them, and the memories will become more precious each year.

 

What to Expect

Family photo shoots are so much fun.

Family sessions typically last about 30 minutes to a little over an hour.

I schedule plenty of time so that the shoot is relaxed, with ample time for snacks, breaks, outfit changes, etc. This is particularly important for families with young children.

​

We can do a mix of posed family portraits, and candid, natural images. We’ll also do a mix of configurations of family members: everyone together; just the children; just the parents; mom and the kids, etc.

​

You’ll have plenty of images to display on your wall, share with friends, and post on social media. You are welcome to bring a change of clothes as well, so you have more than one look.

​

I LOVE capturing families growing throughout the years. It’s so poignant and moving to look back on your images and see how your family has grown.

Locations – Family Photography 

​

Family photography at the Waikanae and Makorori Beach is what I do most.

There is nothing more beautiful than the "golden hour" (1 hour before sunset) photos at the beach. The light is gorgeous, and makes for beautiful images. 

​

In saying that, studio portraits are also amazing and very popular for holiday cards.

I love custom shoots so contact me with your ideas and we can pick the perfect spot for your family shoot!
