Family | Kids | Maternity | Newborn photography in Auckland {Muriwai Beach}

Im so excited to announce a new direction in my journey - Family | Kids | Maternity | Newborn photography in Auckland, as well as my educational projects for photographers {Ebook “Tales of the Moments” and live and online workshops “Love, Light & Laughter”.

As a mum and photographer myself I treasure these moments with my kids, they growing so fast. I had a lot of inquiries from my past wedding clients about maternity/newborn shoots and can’t accomodate them all till now.

I decided to do a big leap in my photography, business and lifestyle and take on ONLY limited number of weddings {10! per year comparing with over 40 weddings last season!} and also switch focus to short couples, family sessions and elopements to spend more time with my family. My kids 6, 7 and 12 years old need my attention and support.

I’m very excited to move deeper into the new revenue and switch attention from big events to intimate sessions with ability to capture closer even more love and connection! I appreciate your support! Spread the word around!

I recently did a shoot with Natalia’s family and it was just incredible! Enjoy these highlights in photo gallery and let me know if you would like to book a session {only limited number of spots left this year}!. Get in before the Christmas!

Moments in Christchurch {New Zealand wedding-elopement photographers}

I spent such fantastic time with such emotional moments in Christchurch with many talented New Zealand wedding-elopement photographers who come all the way from Auckland, Kerikeri, Tauranga, Rotorua, Queenstown, Wanaka to visit a great non-workshop - workshop {Badass}. It was so good to spent this time away as Im just about to launch my own workshop | ebook for modern photographers with Click Photo School - such incredible resource of online education for any photographer. I needed to change the atmosphere! {you can find more details about my educational project follow the link to Mentoring | Portfolio Review | Tutorials | Ebook | Breakout}

The idea of this educational for photographers event was to catch up, share some knowledge, recharge at the end of wedding season, get some new inspiration and have a rest in gorgeous old classic style mansion.

We had such a blast - amazing time with beautiful people, where Ambers from Perspectives, Olga from Wild & Grace, Nardia from Nardia Burst photography, Tegan and host of the workshop Sarah Clements been talking all things weddings and we all together discussed so many questions, shared ideas and inspiration.

We also had a chance to get to the Port Hills where amazing couple Jenna & Scott been our models for the short time {it was freezing on the hills, they did such amazing job staying calm}, and Gemma gave us a chance to take some maternity photos {she is a fellow wedding photographer herself}. It was such a great time with beautiful people!

I truly enjoyed every moment! Thank you Tegan and Sarah for organising it and having all us there!
