What an incredible experience we had when Kirsten photographed my two week old. Not only did she take care of the baby she took care of me too. I was able to sit and relax while Kirsten took the most stunning photos. From changing the baby to a drinks fridge. Highly recommend Kirsten

We absolutely loved our experience with Kirsten. As new parents walking into the studio she just took the lead and let us relax while our wee one got his photos taken. No stress at all! He wasn't keen on sleeping that day but everything was still so calm and we ending up with the most beautiful photos. We can't thank Kirsten enough for such a great experience and wonderful photos we will always have and cherish!

Being a first time Mum I was super nervous when it came to our new born shoot. The whole shoot was stress free, very professional, and beautiful to watch. I am so grateful to have captured these moments of our baby, the photos exceeded my expectations and we will cherish them forever.

Kirsten took photos of my seven day old baby. Having her with Kirsten and Lynley was the first time I had relaxed since she was born! They were so gentle and loving with our wee one! I was so excited to see our photos, they were so beautiful I couldn't leave any behind!

Kirsten and lynley were so friendly and made me know the my boy was completely safe at all times. Kirsten listened to my ideas on the day that I had not discussed earlier and went with the ideas which I really loved! All our photos came out so beautiful.

Kirsten did an amazing job of photographing our family at Orton Bradley Park. The photos are beautiful, she captured us looking happy, even though the kids were grumpy! The service was spot on, from start to finish and we thoroughly recommend Kirsten.

Highly recommend Kirsten Naomi Photography. We went with our newly born daughter for a photoshoot and was blown away by her professionalism. Kirsten's patience and focus to create the perfect shots were second to none. Even though we have not seen all the photos yet but we are very happy with the results. I will be recommending her to all my friends.

Kirsten and her assistant were absolutely fantastic! Extremely professional with a warm manner and incredible with a new born baby (she knew a lot more than us 8-day old parents!) and made us feel so comfortable in the studio. She carefully explained everything very thoroughly and took on all of our preferences and wishes without question. The images she was able to show us on the day were outstanding and the sneak peak we have already seen is just beautiful. We are so thrilled to have met Kirsten and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Facebook Review, March 2020
For a woman who is very self-conscious about her body I was apprehensive about having a maternity shoot. I am SO glad I went through with it though!! Kirsten made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Her patience and eye for detail is a true gift. As a result, I now have a collection of photos that I will treasure for a lifetime💕 I can’t stop looking at the shots and I normally can’t stand photos of myself! I look forward to having our newborn shoot in a few weeks

We are so delighted with the stunning collection of phots we've just received from our new born photoshoot with Kirsten. Kirsten was very competent, patient and delicate in keeping our little girl comfortable and safe all throughout the session. The whole session was done at the ease of the little one, for which Kirsten allowed ample time for cuddles and feeding sessions and we didn't feel rushed at all. The studio was lovely, calming & warm and also had a wonderful collection of props to choose from, more importantly space and facilitates to keep the baby comfortable. So happy that I chose Kirsten Naomi Photography and we'll definitely go back for more photos in the future. Thank you so much for your beautiful work Kirsten

Kirsten photographed my four children beautifully. She sourced a lovely site with blossom trees and made our whole family feel at ease. I loved the mixture of candid and staged photos. She even got a gorgeous smile from a reluctant 10 year old boy! We will be back for more photos next year.

Kirsten photographed our wee boy when he was 8 days old. The experience was lovely and the studio beautiful, calming, welcoming and warm! There’s a wonderful collection of props and clothing to choose from and Kirsten is so patient and delicate in handling babies and getting them into position for certain shots. We had a lovely shoot and the photos are absolutely stunning! Thank you so much :)

"Kirsten, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the photos. We are honestly so in love with them. You are truly talented and creative. I was just looking at the one with his wahakura, pito and ipu and was amazed at how you thought to do the umbilical cord with the wrap"

We had the privilege of having both pregnancy & newborn photos taken by Kirsten. My husband & I are usually very awkward in front of cameras and initially the thought of having to manage a newborn bub in her first week of life was a bit daunting for me. That being said, Kirsten was fantastic at putting us all at ease as well as making our experience with a newborn almost blissful (I may have snuck in a cheeky nap in the very comfy change room). And the result of the final photos was an incredible record of a very special moment in time. Kirsten you are a very talented lady! We thoroughly recommend!

Absolutely love our stunning photos of our wee man that Kirsten shot. She captured his personality and facial expressions so well. During the shoot she made the experience stress free and was amazing with our wee boy with her calm and gentle approach. Thanks Kirsten for giving us the opportunity to have these done, we are so happy with the results.

Kirsten photographed our daughter at 8 days old and are were delighted with the results! Kirsten is caring and professional, we felt welcome and relaxed in the studio and there was a wonderful selection of props but most importantly for us, the focus was always on our little ones comfort and safety. As new parents the idea of leaving the house for 4 hours was a little overwhelming but we're so pleased we did!

I’ve just received the results from our newborn photoshoot with Kirsten and couldn’t be happier. She has captured absolutely stunning shots of our baby girl that we will treasure forever. The whole photoshoot experience was a pleasure. The studio was lovely and warm and set up with everything you could need to keep baby and parents comfortable and there is a wonderful collection of clothing and props available to choose from. Kirsten and her assistant handled our 6 day old so gently and professionally we were completely comfortable handing her over. They got a great selection of shots but but stopped as soon as baby showed signs of having enough. I couldn’t recommend Kirsten Naomi Photography highly enough!

Kirsten was wonderful. She went to great lengths to get the shots. She scoped out locations ahead of time (despite not being in her own city), yet was flexible to also use locations I requested. Her assistant is also lovely and at times was moving ahead to look for additional locations. They are a great team. I'm thrilled with the results!
