I keep thinking about how much these photos will mean years from now.

Not just because they’ll remember this little season before baby number two arrives, but because they’ll have photos of Grandie’s farm. A place that has been such a huge part of their family for the past 45 years.

It’s funny how you don’t always realise you’re in the middle of a really special chapter until you look back on it.

I think one day, these will bring back so much more than just this moment and that’s why I love story sessions so so much 🤍

Not to scare you, but newborns are only newborns for a few short weeks. So if you’re currently pregnant, I think you should probably message me and book yours in. I’ll let these frames of Charlie do the convincing 😉🤍

Rocking her new baby to sleep while her other 3 wrestle on the floor behind her. Her new normal as a mum of 4 and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Just documenting their life as it is right now. Missing teeth and all.

Smothered in love, in the best kind of way.

As soon as I knocked on the door for Mikayla’s session, her oldest daughter Rosie welcomed me in, said hello and grabbed my hand to give me the house tour. She showed me her bedroom and all the spots in the house we could take photos of her baby brother.

At the end of the session she told her Mum she had to send me a photo and update me on her netball game that night.

Some family’s are just such a joy to photograph and yours is definitely one of those Mikayla.

Here are just a few of my favourite photos from our session together.

It’s always a little nerve racking photographing another photographer but I couldn’t love these any more.

Maddie and her family were holidaying in New Zealand from Australia and drove all the way from Cathedral Cove to Piha on the one day they had free, just so I could capture these memories for them.

The drive took a little longer than expected, which meant we missed most of golden hour. By the time they arrived, the sun had disappeared behind the clouds, and we were racing the last of the light.

And yet… we still created these.

It’s a good reminder that photos don’t need perfect conditions to be beautiful. You and your favourite people are always enough.
