What styles of family photography do you offer?
We offer a range of photography styles and are more than happy to discuss different options with you to find the best style to suit your family:
Studio shoots
Our studio shoots take place in our well-equipped, comfortable studio in Tawa, Wellington. For family studio shoots, we'll often start with a few formal photos, before working with you to bring out your family's natural personality and energy.
On location or at your home
We can also organise family and children's photography sessions at a location of your choice, or in your own home. These shoots tend to be more relaxed and spontaneous.
Candid photography
We love candid photography shoots, where we stay in the background and shoot unobtrusively, capturing those priceless moments as they happen. Candid event coverage works really well for children's parties or other special occasions.
Works of art
We can also create moody or dramatic portraits, using lighting to change the mood of the picture and create beautiful works of art.
How to get the most from my studio shoot
1) We recommend bringing a change of clothes. Since we normally take between 30 minutes to one hour for a photo shoot, we can use different clothes, backgrounds and lighting effects to create a variety of moods and photo styles during that time.
2) Bring the usual items you would carry for a day out, such as snacks, games and favourite toys. You can also bring along a few props to include in the photos: favourite costumes or toys that show off your child's personality.
3) Don't worry if your child isn't smiling for the whole shoot. It's good to capture a variety of expressions and moods and even a sleeping baby can make a great portrait. Our aim is to make you feel relaxed and at ease, so we can capture your family's true personality and character.
How long do photo sessions take?
We normally allow between 30 minutes to one hour for a photo shoot.
How much do family portraits and photography sessions cost?
A family photo shoot costs $75 and prints start from $55. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase your photos after the shoot - unless you really love your pictures you don't need to buy a single image.
For children's parties and candid event photography, please get in touch with us to discuss pricing options.
What happens after my photo shoot?
About two weeks after your photo session we'll invite you to the studio to view your photographs. We can help you select your favourites and advise on the best ways to display your photos. There is no obligation to purchase or pressure to buy. Once you have made your decision we'll order the images for you and arrange delivery of your beautiful new photos.
What display options do you offer?
We offer a range of high-quality display options that will enable you to enjoy your photos for many years to come:
Single prints
Single prints are available in a range of sizes, from 5 by 7 inches right up to A1 size, and are printed on high-quality photographic paper. Single prints are great for displaying in your home, either in your own photo frames or albums.
Multi-prints and collages
A popular way to display your images, multi-prints and collages are available from A2 size upwards.
Canvas images
A beautifully crafted canvas is the perfect choice for a large wall display, and can be comprised of a single image or a collage of images.
Block mounts
Block mounts are specially treated photographic prints mounted onto wood, and are ideal for wall mounting or for displaying around the home. Block mounts range in size from A4 to A1.
