"As a qualified Midwife I have a particular passion for photographing maternity/ pregnancy and newborns.

I love capturing those special times in people's lives that mean so much - from engagement shoots to weddings, the nervous expectation of maternity to the sheer delight and love of a newborn. And then having the pleasure to capture the personalities and changes as a child grows".

Whangarei Wedding & Portrait Photographer - Serious

Sometimes you come across little people who are just so busy exploring their big new world that they seem so very serious. I mean, why smile just for the sake of it? This little man certainly smiled, and he had a gorgeous smile, but we just needed to find something that he found amusing..... otherwise he was focused on this new park that he'd just been introduced to - and parks usually means people walking their dogs, and birds to watch! There is nothing very interesting about a lady with a big black thingee in front of her face.

But luckily for me Mum had a few tricks up her sleeve..... and noises! Thank goodness for little boys and their fasination with silly sounds.....

Whangarei Photographer - Mr Blue Eyes

This little dude is full of personality! And no wonder - he has two big heros (brothers) to look up to and try to keep up with. And heros they are - not only did they help me out with my backdrop when needed, they were confident handling and entertaining their little brother as well as being perfect models themselves. Thank you for being so helpful and willing to do whatever I asked. And doesn't this wee 6 week old have the most amazing blue eyes.......




And we even caught a quick smile!

Whangarei Newborn Photographer - Sweet Little Lady

I just have to say that I love my job. Meeting such lovely parents and their precious wee babies - nothing can beat it! And this couple was no exception. Their gorgeous little lady was such a sweatheart. Whether she was awake, asleep or half-way in between, she was such a gem. She allowed me to move her into any position I wanted without a single protest.

Thank you Mum and Dad for allowing me to photograph your little treasure.

Whangarei Photographer - such a fun family

Isn't it funny how you bump into people that you haven't seen in years? This fabulous new Mum and I did our nursing training together years ago, when we were straight out of high school. I am not known for having 'facial recognition technology' built into my brain, but we both recognised each other straight away. She hasn't changed a bit (I, on the other hand, seem to have gained a few wrinkles!) LOL

This was a great family to photograph. And this little baby boy is one very loved little man...... it was so fabulous to see his two teenage siblings debating whose turn it was to hold him, and wanting to be photographed with him. At all of 3 months old, he definitely has the family wrapped around his little finger! The competition was on to see who could get their little brother to laugh (I just can't remember who won!).

Thank you for asking me to photograph your family. I hope you like this peek of your images....
