REAL FAMILIES · EAST AUCKLAND

Little Moments,
Beautifully Remembered.

Every family has its own beautiful story. Here are two newborn experiences created for families in Howick and Botany, East Auckland.

01

HOWICK · EAST AUCKLAND

A Gentle, Baby-Led Newborn Session

This beautiful in-home newborn session in Howick was all about following baby's lead.

With this little one happily awake for parts of the morning, I adapted the session to capture his sweet expressions and tiny details using relaxed, carefully styled poses.

Bringing my professional newborn equipment, wraps and props directly to the family's home meant they could enjoy their photography experience without needing to travel with their newborn.

BOTANY · EAST AUCKLAND

One Beautiful Story, Two Special Sessions

For this Botany family, my split newborn experience offered the best of both worlds.

Their baby's beautifully posed newborn portraits were captured in the comfort of their East Auckland home.

Three weeks later, the family returned to my South Auckland studio for relaxed family photographs, with time to settle into life with their newest little arrival.

It's a lovely way to enjoy professional newborn and family portraits without trying to fit everything into those first precious days.

EXCLUSIVE SPLIT NEWBORN EXPERIENCE

From Howick and Botany to Flat Bush and surrounding East Auckland suburbs, I bring a calm, carefully guided approach to every newborn session.
