Auckland Bump, Birth and Baby Photographer. Capturing your babies journey from ‘inside’ to Earthside

The look on big sisters face meeting her new baby sister for the first time 🥹

I think that one of the biggest joys and heart melt moments as a parent is seeing your baby’s love on each other, so getting to capture them meeting like this is such a must have memory. Especially when it’s rare you actually get to see their facial reaction in amongst getting everyone settled. Like when I sent this first photo off to my client, this was the first time she got to see her big girls reaction properly 🥰

These are from a ‘meet the sibling’ session, which is also similar to Fresh 48 session, for lovely moments like these when family members come to visit and enjoy those first moments with your new baby.

Still working on the birth photos from this cute fam, so will share them soon too!

It was such a beautiful evening reconnecting with this family 😍

The last time I saw them was at the birth and newborn photos of their first baby (little girl in these photos), and now here they are getting ready to welcome the new ‘baby sistah’ 💕

This little beach was a new location for me over the shore, and even with the east facing direction, the sunset colours in the sky were still so beautiful 🙌🏼
If you scroll to the last photo it also had some cool Europe inspired apartments by the waterfront that were fun and quirky to include too!

This gorgeous family are already holding their new baby girl in their arms, so will share some of the shots from birth and meeting big sister soon too 🤩

And here’s the Fresh 48’s from the family’s home birth I shared yesterday - how cute is this baby boy 😍

The last couple births I’ve captured were so fast the babies had barely any head molding (that cone shape from squeezing through the pelvis), so had beautiful big round baby heads from the start! 👶🏼

Fresh 48’s are kinda how they sound, but I still sometimes get asked what it is. It’s a photo shoot usually within 48 hours after the birth when everything is still so new and ‘fresh’, and is captured in the place of birth. The goal is capturing the little details of that brand new newborn and postpartum period, as it all changes so quick! 🥰

The Home Birth high 😍

This incredible Mummy birthed her second baby in less than 1.5 hours! After a fast unexpected home birth for her first baby she planned to stay home this time and just had the most amazing experience - doesn’t her face just say it all! The ‘holy crap I just did that’ face 😍

It’s sad that home birth’s are still not very common, as when you witness one you wish every mum could experience that (which ofcourse I know isn’t always possible, but I can still wish ok).
The comfort of your own things, in your own space, with family around, no strangers popping in and out, older children sleeping soundly in another room, amazing midwives around, and this family were back in bed for the night less than two hours after the birth 🙌🏼

Welcome to the world little Corbin, it has been such a honor being part of your journey earthside with your gorgeous family 🥰

Will post some super adorable pics from this babes Fresh 48 soon - they are next level cute!

Currently on-call for this gorgeous family that we did bump photos for a few weeks back 🤩

Super special also being my first repeat birth client 🥹 Who also had the fastest first birth that she had an unexpected home-birth and is the only client to date that I just didn’t make it on time for baby coming out! We still got lots of lovely golden hour photos which are always so special too, but you can bet your bottom dollar I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting on the call for her sibling 😅

Ok, I’m back for 2026!

Bit late to the party being almost mid February, but slow and steady wins the race right 😎

Excited for a new year, and one of the things I’m most looking forward to is that I have officially been in the birth business long enough to have some of my first time birth clients coming back for their next baby with two due the first half of this year 😍
Having return clients is the biggest compliment a photographer can receive so I’m super grateful to be working with them again 🥹

Updates on me:
- I’m officially a crazy chicken lady with us now having 6 chicks in the house we’re raising, the kids are loving that! And it’s a little easier doing that now after we lost our doggy last year 😞
- Back into homeschooling this year with my 6yo joining in full time now. I have a new plan and mindset, see how that goes 😝
- I’m still leading our Kids Church ministry which is when I got a bit quieter on here so I could focus on getting my head around that, think I’m getting there now!
- We trialled our first camping trip late last year and went pretty ok, so trying to get one more trip in later this month. We wait until everyone else goes back to school and work!
- I took the plunge and bought myself a new TM7 thermomix about a month ago and loving it, so I’m slowly descending into my ‘hippy Mum’ reputation more and more. Next is that I start wearing floaty housewife dresses, but don’t think that will ever happen, I am just not a dress person 😋

Swipe to see some of the chicks, they’re so cute!

In-door Bump sessions are such a great option during winter!

No need to worry about the weather and making last minute decisions if the session needs postponed or not.

No constant hair in your face from the wind.

Lighting is more consistent so you can have the session at pretty much any time of the day.

Annnnd, you don’t even need to leave your house 🙌🏼 Which if you’re anything like me is a huge bonus 🤣

Plus, look how beautiful the photos can be in the comfort of your own home. Just another option to consider if you feel like getting Bump photos is in the ‘too hard basket’, as this option isn’t 😉

Having a young toddler can be so unpredictable at the best of times, even more so at a photoshoot!

We all have the image in our mind of those beautiful sibling photos where they’re loving on each other, and sometimes that happens, and sometimes it doesn’t.

When I arrived at this lovely families house, I was told that the toddler meeting the newborn had been on the more challenging side with big bro not being super impressed with the new baby.

I got myself ready to get creative now knowing the toddler might give a bit of push back, but he did great! The parents said to me at the end “we expected that to last all of 20 mins with mostly tears”, and it wasn’t that at all, so as I said, always unpredictable 😝

You can see the result of some of my ‘creativeness’ on photo number 7, where we gave the toddler raisins and he was so kind to share one with baby sister 🥴

Welcome to the world baby girl.

Capturing Bumps and Babies for any client is amazing, but with close friends it makes it even more special 🤩

I only met this gorgeous Mummy a few short years ago, but with all that we have in common we (along with the kids) got to know each other so quickly and this gorgeous family are now like family for us too 🥰

They’re all so excited to meet their new baby any day now, and I can’t wait too!

Little Chadrick was born 😍

I met this lovely family when I captured the bump of their first baby girl. So when I got the message they were expecting again it was so nice to be included in their family once more where we got more bump photos (toddler included!) and the birth of their second baby, a little boy 💙

What an incredibly strong couple, both emotionally and physically (the dad is a personal trainer so makes sense) as I watched them work together to bring little Chadrick into the world. The midwives even joked that it was hard to tell by pushing on mums tummy if it was a contraction or not as she had such strong abs 🤣

It’s the biggest compliment being invited back into a families journey with subsequent siblings, and I just love getting to know each family more and more as I do!

(Most photos are cropped as I’m not fancy enough to make those carousel posts haha)
