And

These are the moments of now... tomorrow it could all be different. So, those are the moments that matter. The same moments we forget all too soon, but wish we could remember forever! Be it the cheeky grin of your toddler, the serene quiet of your sleeping newborn, or the not so quiet of your kids running through the park. It's these things, these moments that make us who we are.

A session with us is all about having fun, and about capturing the love you have for each other. We won't ask you to sit still and hold stiff poses. Instead, we will run, play and laugh all while capturing the true uniqueness of your kids at this stage in their life. Then, we will meet with you and help you plan how to decorate your home with these memories, so that every day you can walk by those images and relive these moments.

Our sessions take place outdoors anywhere south of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and north of Hamilton, where your family can be themselves. We love to work with locations that are special to you, so that these photos are truly unique.

From planning to artwork

How a shoot with us works

Every session with us starts with a consultation. Either over the phone, or we can catch-up over zoom. From what to wear, to where you'd like to display your images in your home, location planning, to your wants and wishes from the session, the pre-consultation answers ALL your questions, and allows us to get to know your family. We want your images to be unique, so we’ll personalise your session just for you.

The photoshoot

Now for the fun part, the actual photoshoot. Photoshoots with us are full of fun, laughter and cuddles. Maternity and family sessions can take place at any location you like within the wider Auckland or North Waikato area, while our newborn sessions can take place in either our studio or at your home. No matter where we do the photos, its time for you to relax, sit back and let us work our magic.

The ordering appointment

A couple of weeks after your session we will catch up to show you your images. We’ll help you sort through the images and make final decisions on what will look best with your home. Be it a single piece of art, a group of photos to display on your wall, or a stunning album, we'll make sure you get the perfect piece for you. We'll show you your images at their actual size so you'll be able to see exactly what it looks like before you buy. This is where you will order your images so we will ensure we schedule this appointment at a time when all the decision makers can be there.

The delivery

A few weeks later, your images will be ready for you to pick up at the studio. Once those portraits are on your walls, you can sit back and enjoy them EVERY DAY. For these are your precious kids —the ones who are growing too fast and who you will cherish to the end of your days. It doesn't stop there, all of our newborn clients are invited to join our grow with me club where we will capture your babies first year when they are changing the most. As part of our club you will receive exclusive products and client for life discounts on any future sessions with us.

Or perhaps you'd enjoy a baby book that you and your little ones can sit down and flick through and relive those early days when they fitted snuggly in your arms, and you rocked them to sleep against your chest.

Whether you're after a single piece or a collection; prefer the traditional look of framed prints, or the stunning modern look of your images printed on metal. We've got something to suit every space and style in your home.

We had the best time with Katrina doing a Summer beach session. It was a beautiful spot she chose to take the pics as the backdrop was stunning. We felt so relaxed and she was amazing with the kids. So stoked with our images, the tones in the pictures are just beautiful. She's so down to earth and just lovely to work with. We will be back to have more photos taken. Seriously recommend her to anyone especially those with kids.

Jess Atherton

Thank you so much for the amazing photos you took of my family. We have been talking about it for years and when friends recommended you to us, we finally got them sorted. The photos were amazing and you truly captured the essence of our family. Shall certainly be recommending you to family and friends.

Jason Korff

We met Katrina on a blustery day at Kariotahi Beach. She was friendly and put us at ease through our photo shoot.
We are so happy with our photographs and highly recommend. Getting photos taken at the beach in winter makes for some awesome photos!

Frequently asked questions

Below are some of our most commonly asked questions. Want to ask me something else, then just fill out the form at the bottom of the page and I am here and happy to answer any questions you may have.

where is your studio based?

where is your studio based?

can we do our session outdoors or at our home?

can we do our session outdoors or at our home?

Of course you can! I'm a big believer that kids should be allowed to run free and wild, and be themselves. You get the best photos when kids are allowed to be kids, instead of making them sit still and behave. This is why we do the majority of our family and kids sessions outside.

So be it at your local beach, park, your home or somewhere else you enjoy spending time with your family we will meet you there. Travel anywhere south of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and north of Hamilton is included in your session fee.

how long does a family photoshoot take?

how long does a family photoshoot take?

Our family sessions are all about play and having a good time together creating memories as a family. Most of our family shoots last around an hour. If you have older kids (who don't really want to be there) we can definitely do a shorter session (sometimes as quick as 30 minutes). 

what happens if my kids don't behave?

what happens if my kids don't behave?

I've been photographing families for over 16 years now and there's nothing I haven't seen. In saying that our aim is to make the sessions as much fun as possible, and are much more about play than they are about sitting still and "behaving".

When you're preparing the kids for the session we talk about saying things like we're going to play with Katrina and she's going to bring her camera, rather than we're getting family photos done and you have to be good. Don't worry we help you with all of this in our client lounge you get access to.

Pretty much all of our kids, and even our dads leave the session saying how much fun it was and how it was so easy.

what do the prints cost?

what do the prints cost?

Your session fee includes $100 product credit to put towards any printed images or products of your choice. We will help you work out the best images and ways to display them in your home at your consult and again at your viewing and ordering appointment. Prints start at $150, and include the matching digital file. Wall art starts at $395, digital packages from $695 and albums start at $995. Most of our clients spend anywhere from $400-$2000 on their photos.

We will work with you at your viewing and ordering appointment to select your favourite images and work out the best possible package for your budget and to get what you are wanting. You can also download our full product guide above to see all of our pricing. I believe in being complete up front and transparent about costs.

Can we get the digitals?

can we get the digitals?

We are huge believers in printed products and encourage all of our clients to print their photos so that you can enjoy looking at these photos everyday, and so that future generations can look back and see what your kids looked like at that stage in their life. I totally understand however, your wish to share these stunning images on the likes of your social media. Therefore all of our printed images come with the matching digital file. We also have the option to purchase one of our digital collections should you wish to just get digitals.
