Fresh snow, bluebird skies and the perfect mountain setting for a very important question! 🤍🏔️💍⁣

Dean had been in touch with me to plan the perfect snowy Queenstown proposal, and the weather gods really did deliver! Fresh powder, beautiful blue skies and the most incredible mountain views made for the perfect morning for Dean to get down on one knee.⁣

And, of course, Samika said YES! 🥹🤍⁣

A huge thank you to Heliworks for flying us up and making this incredible morning possible.⁣

I feel so lucky to be able to capture moments like this, and this one is definitely going to be hard to forget. Thank you, Dean and Samika, for such a fabulous morning and for trusting me to be part of such a special moment.⁣

And what better way to finish your time in beautiful Queenstown than heading home with a pretty incredible souvenir… a gorgeous ring and a fiancé! 💍🏔️⁣

The biggest congratulations you two! 🤍⁣

When an unexpected visitor joins your photoshoot… 🐾⁣

This gorgeous doggo wandered into our family session at Homestead Bay and, honestly, we weren’t complaining! 😂🐶⁣

A few sticks thrown, plenty of giggles and some very sweet candid moments later… I think they earned a permanent spot in the gallery 📸⁣

I’m all about family photoshoots being relaxed, playful and full of genuine moments, and sometimes the best moments are the ones you never planned for! ✨⁣

If all photobombers could be this cute, I’d happily welcome them to every session! 🐾⁣

No sun? No smiles? I don’t think so! ☔️🤍⁣

A rainy family photoshoot might not be the weather you pictured when you booked your session, but sometimes the best thing you can do is simply embrace it and enjoy the moment.⁣

And that’s exactly what Laura and her beautiful family did! We spent an hour at stunning Moke Lake chasing ducks, chasing each other, running through the rain and capturing SO many beaming smiles along the way! 🥹⁣

Because family photos don’t have to be about perfect weather or everyone standing still and looking at the camera. They’re about the giggles, the chaos, the movement, the connection and all those little moments that make your family YOU!⁣

And honestly? I think the rain made this session even more special! 🤍🌧️⁣

So… who fancies a rainy family photo session? 👀☔️⁣

Family photos shouldn’t feel stiff or forced 🤍⁣

My family photography sessions in Queenstown are all about capturing your family as you really are. The giggles, the cuddles, kids running free, exploring, playing, and all those beautifully in-between moments.⁣

No asking everyone to stand perfectly still and smile at the camera, the result? Timeless family photos filled with movement, emotion, laughter and love!⁣

Jack’s Point is one of my favourite locations for family photoshoots in Queenstown, with its incredible mountain views, wide open spaces and plenty of room for little ones to run, play and simply be themselves.⁣

If you’re visiting Queenstown on holiday or you’re a local family wanting to capture this season of life, I’d love to create relaxed, natural images you’ll treasure for years to come 📸⁣



📍Jack’s Point, Queenstown, New Zealand⁣
