I am finally in a position where I can now offer these gorgeous Fresh 48 Sessions to families around the Manawatu. Pregnancy, birth, becoming a mother and meeting your child for the first time are all things I feel so passionate about so as you can imagine I am very excited! Pregnancy for starters is such as emotional journey, you experience just how fragile life is! You dream about this little life inside of you and what they will look like, what kind of person they will be and how they are going to change your life. It is so incredible and even though at the time, it feels like it is taking To View More >>

I have to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE doing what I do. I am so grateful for each and every person I get to photograph. I even get a little emotional looking at the moments we have created together; knowing how special they are and how they are going to become more special with time. A mama loving on her baby, well that just gets me in the feels, every.single.time! Little Eli is baby boy number two for this Mama who also happens to be my beautiful cousin.
