Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to do maternity portraits?

The ideal time is usually between 32 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose easily. Every pregnancy is unique, so we’ll work together to choose a time that feels best for you — ensuring your portraits capture this special moment with elegance and warmth.

This is my first photoshoot with a newborn, what should I know?

I’ll guide you every step of the way! Before your session, I’ll provide tips on wardrobe, timing, and what to bring to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. Newborn sessions are calm, slow, and entirely guided by baby and best done when baby is 5 - 14 days old. I’ll help with posing, keeping your baby safe and comfortable, and creating a relaxed environment. It's helpful if your baby is ready for a feed and a sleep when you arrive at the studio, that way we are sure to get the extra sleepy baby photos.

My baby is older than 14 days, can I still do photos

Absolutely. While the first two weeks are known for those dreamy, curled-up newborn poses, beautiful portraits can be created at any age. Once babies are a little older, they start to show more personality — gentle eye contact, sweet stretches, and gorgeous little expressions.

Every session is adapted to your baby’s age and comfort, so whether your little one is 3 weeks or 3 months, we’ll capture images filled with love, connection, and the essence of your family.

Where will the photos take place?

All sessions take place in my warm, welcoming home studio in Greenhithe, Auckland. It’s a calm, comfortable space designed to make you and your family feel relaxed while capturing beautiful, timeless images.

How long does it take to get our photos?

Once your session is complete, your gallery will typically be ready within 2–3 weeks. I carefully edit each image to ensure every photo is polished, timeless, and ready for you to enjoy and share.

Can I order prints & albums

Your memories deserve to be held and displayed. I offer fine art prints and heirloom albums designed to last for generations. Together we will select the best option for your portraits.
