"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".

Precious Fighter - Whangarei Newborn Photographer

Sometimes you can say it all in a title - and this title certainly speaks volumes for this wee newborn (or not quite so new born).
 
This wee bubs and her Mum have spent months in hospital, holding on one day at a time.............seeing the inside of two hospitals, NICU and SCBU. While Dad managed the daily lives of her siblings, with lots of travel and weekend visits. Often we forget the struggle that some families have to go through, just taking for granted that things will go smoothly.
 
So I was very honoured that I got to meet this little lady, and take her newborn photos. She was 9 weeks old before she got to visit me, but only 3 weeks past her due date. Still small and 'newborn' looking, but she was a fighter........... and she fought against going to sleep. Luckily Mum & Dad are old hands, and managed to get their precious wee girl to peacefully slumber :-)
 
Enjoy your preview.........
