DO YOU HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR FAMILY ON YOUR WALL?

You should. Photos help kids feel loved, cherished and a valued part of the family.

​

Displaying photos at home, where your kids can see them easily, makes a public statement that you are proud of them and gives them a sense of reassurance and comfort.

​

I am an award winning portrait photographer, specialising in photographing newborn babies, older babies, expectant mums, children and families.

If you love classic, stylish and exquisitely printed photographic art, I'm your girl!  I believe passionately that photographs deserve to be on display, so you won't find any digital-only packages here.

​

My studio is located in Otautahi Christchurch, NZ and I would love to help you get some fabulous photos of your family on the wall.

​

I'm mum to two energetic boys under six, so I know it's impossible finding time for newborn and family portraits; let alone doing anything with your images when they arrive (yes, I also have USBs full of images sitting unseen in my office drawer).

Let me do the heavy lifting for you. All of my collections include printed images as well as digitals. I will help you design the perfect wall collection or album and will take care of everything else. ​

​

I also know you don't want to get in front of the camera, it's not my favourite thing either, but it's so important to 'exist' in family photographs. Your kids will cherish these images and one day they may be the most important portraits they own. I'm an expert in shaping with great lighting and posing; I will look after you and ensure you look your best.

You will receive a collection of images that you love and, most importantly, you and your family will have fun during the session and make new memories together. 

My name is Kirsten.....

You will get to look around my studio and see how we wrap, soothe and photograph newborn baby Arthur, while using props and my newborn posing bean bag
