Getting married after you’ve had a kid? You might not be able to party all night but you’ll have the most important person there to witness your big moment.

And apart from that - toddlers in wedding outfits?
Super cute. Super stylish. Just makes the day even more special.

When couples focus more on each other than on decorations and timelines, the whole day just feels… lighter. Less stress, more presence, more actual enjoying the people you came to celebrate with. And yes often a little kinder on the budget too.

In my opinion, your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a photoshoot with breaks in between. It should feel like a day with your favourite humans—family, friends, laughter—and a few beautiful, meaningful photos along the way.

That’s exactly why I offer my Elopement Wedding Package. It’s perfect not only for eloping couples, but also for anyone planning a shorter, more relaxed day—covering your ceremony, family moments, and those natural couple portraits afterwards.

Another epic wedding wrapped up, this time at Cossars Wineshed in Tai Tapu. Easy to see why it’s one of Canterbury’s standout venues. Sun-drenched vineyard, Mediterranean-style courtyard, olive trees, and that rustic French feel. It’s a dream spot for couples and such a good place to shoot as a photographer.

It was a very hot day and we were all melting in that harsh sun. The light was strong and the shadows even stronger, which definitely made things a challenge from behind the camera.

Who needs a studio when you’ve got natural light and a brand-new baby at home?

Those soft neutrals and classic black & white looks? Totally doable right in your own space. No packing bags, no outfit stress, no rushing out the door.

With a little bit of patience (and a lot of milk), we can create timeless images that feel real and relaxed — all in the comfort of your home.

Simple. Cozy. Forever memories.

Not everyone is into maternity photos in flowy dresses or sunset shoots—and that’s okay. That’s why we can create something meaningful in the privacy of your home, where you feel safe and comfortable.

N**e maternity photos can be radically honest. No retouching of “imperfect” skin. No smoothing away what pregnancy brings.

Veins.
Stretching skin.
Texture.
Change.

A real body doing real work-creating a human. These images aren’t about polishing reality. They’re about respecting it. About allowing the pregnant body to exist as it is, without correction. Because this season doesn’t need fixing. It deserves to be remembered.

Most of my clients tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera—and that’s completely normal. I love classic wedding portraits, but not just that. Your wedding photos can be romantic and beautifully posed while still feeling natural and candid.

With the right people around you, your memories will last forever, and you’ll feel relaxed and truly happy. I’m here for you and always up for anything that helps make your wedding day feel like the real you. I’ll gently guide you through the posed shots and encourage all your fun, spontaneous ideas for the natural moments you want to capture.

I always meet my clients before their wedding to go through the timeline of the day, making sure everything runs smoothly and helping to calm their nerves. But to be honest, I’m always nervous too!!

Before the ceremony, my brain is spinning with nerves: What if I miss the shot? What if I trip over my own feet? What if my camera suddenly decides today is the day to retire? There’s so much to focus on during the ceremony, but the best part is what comes after — we get to celebrate together. The nervousness melts away for everyone, and the party can finally begin!!

The bride’s team is essential. Every bride needs her girls — not only to help with all the wedding details, hair and makeup, and getting dressed, but most importantly to be her emotional support while she prepares for the biggest day of her life.

They’re there to laugh, calm the nerves, create unforgettable memories before she becomes a married woman... and of course, to pour her the last drink of freedom.

Celebrating a birthday is a beautiful thing at any age. It’s a moment to pause, look back on the year gone by, and feel grateful for every lesson and every memory that shaped us.

No matter how old we get, birthdays remind us to slow down and reflect on the journey - on how far we’ve come, what we’ve learned, and the people who made the year meaningful!

My dear friend Missy decided to celebrate her big birthday with the one who matters most — her husband. It was also a celebration of their relationship as a couple, their marriage, and all the goals and successes they’ve achieved in the business they built together and in their life as parents.
