Who I am

Hi, I’m Racheal and I’m so glad you’re here.

A Little About Me

With over 15 years behind the lens, and more than 8 years specialising in maternity and newborn photography, I bring both experience and a deep sense of care to every session.

My early years photographing the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand taught me how to master light, camera settings, and composition to create stunning, timeless imagery.

My journey began capturing the awe inspiring landscapes of New Zealand. When life on the farm kept me closer to home, I discovered something even more meaningful, photographing children.

I fell in love with their laughter, their energy, and those fleeting, genuine moments that can never be recreated.

That passion naturally grew into maternity and newborn photography, and it’s here that I truly found my calling.

Today, I specialise in capturing the full story of your family. From maternity and newborn sessions, to milestones from 3 months and beyond, through to beautifully styled family portraits, every session is designed to reflect your connection, your story, and your love.

I’m an internationally multi-award-winning photographer, a proud mum to five incredible children, and a grandmother to five beautiful grandchildren.

Years spent on the farm shaped the way I work, teaching me patience, calm, and gentle care. My sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and designed to make you feel completely at ease.

Because the truth is, these moments don’t last.

My passion is to preserve them for you, creating timeless, heartfelt images your family will treasure for generations.

Every image is carefully edited with my signature style, designed to the keep focus on the connection, emotion and beautiful detail.

Based in Drury, South Auckland, I photograph families across Auckland and beyond.

I would love to help tell your family’s story.
