I'm sure you're here because you know that one day, all we'll have left of the people we love most are memories.
Memories that are made richer and more vibrant by the flashbacks we get as we look through all those old photos, remembering the "good old days".
THE EXPERIENCE
I know that this likely isn't something you do everyday, so I don't expect you to know how to act naturally behind the camera to get those "candid" shots you love, or know how to find the best light and flattering angles. That's my job!
Seriously, all you need to worry about is getting those kids in the car - I handle the rest from there.
how we can capture your family
A perfect way to let the kids run wild and free while incorporating the incredible backdrops of our country.
These will typically take place in the last hour of the day to ensure you get the most flattering light possible. I have a range of tried and true locations I have prepared for you to choose from, or we can go to a place special to you and your family. (Mileage rates may apply for locations outside of Hamilton & Raglan)
Prices start at $899. For a full price list please get in touch via the contact page.
HOW WE CAN CAPTURE YOUR FAMILY
A more relaxed way to document your family for those that want images that don't just look good, but also bring back precious and nostalgic memories of day to day life.
The timing of these can also be flexible to work around nap times.
Prices start at $899. For a full price list please get in touch via the contact page.
HOW WE CAN CAPTURE YOUR FAMILY
A short and intimate session which is great for those that want simple portraits that work around sleep schedules. (Please note - due to the limited space in the studio this is not recommended for families with more that 2 children or if you are wanting full body standing images)
Prices start at $599. For a full price list please get in touch via the contact page.
Okay, but how do the kids cope with a sunset session?
Honestly, probably better than you think!
A beautiful golden sunset session can only be achieved during, you guessed it, sunset. In the summer months this can obviously mean a late bed time and changes to routines.
After photographing over 100's of families though, I can tell you that most parents are pleasantly surprised by how their little one's handle the routine change. There's just something so calming and grounding about being outside in nature right? In the fresh air. Exploring and having an "adventure" (as we'll often call it).
There are a few things we can still do to support our little one's, which I share with you in your preparation guide once booked. Overall though, if you really want to change your session time to suit naps, let me know and we can be strategic about our location choice or you can book in during the winter months when the sun sets earlier.
“Had the best experience with Catherine taking our family photos for us. She was professional but relaxed and captured exactly what we wanted even when our two year old was doing his own thing!”
so what do we wear?
You will receive a comprehensive preparation guide upon booking which will give you all the information you need.
I also have an extensive client wardrobe which has a range of beautiful pieces for mum and the kids. These pieces have been selected specifically because of the way they photograph and range from size 6-26.
What's the price & how do we book?
Studio pricing starts at $599, and Outdoor and In home pricing starts at $899. To view a full outline of the pricing and my availability please get in touch using the link below.
