this time with your kids is so important

Hi, I'm Kate.

Hi, I'm Kate.

I'm a mum to four wonderful children, and we live in the Nelson/Tasman area of New Zealand. For over a decade I've been capturing the real and beautiful moments of children's lives through individual, candid portraits that reflect who they are in that moment.

My photography is real and unique, and I’d love to capture you or your children in beautiful stills that you’ll treasure forever.

More About Me

Portrait sessions with me are more than just a photo shoot - they are carefully styled and thoughtfully executed to capture the essence of your child’s individuality.


What I do


01.


Maternity


The beauty and anticipation of motherhood in that quiet time before life changes forever.


02.


Family


The most important people in your life, as they are right now, captured so you'll never forget.


03.


NB+Baby


Those early, fleeting days that pass by so quickly, and when every tiny detail matters.

Mums


Finally, the one who's always behind the camera gets to be in front of it!


Why choose me as your photographer?

stunning portraits you'll cherish forever

I am *not* a traditional studio photographer. I love to find the essence of who someone is in one-of-a-kind, unique portraits. My camera, lens, and editing suite are professional grade (I shoot with a Canon R5, and my go-to lens is a gorgeous f/1.2 85mm), but my real tool is the relaxed and comfortable environment I naturally bring. My past life as a teacher, and years as a homeschooling mum to four children, helps me create a fun, relaxed space while I capture your child's personality.
