Turning a creative passion into a business, can be such a beautiful thing.
When you can put food on the table for your family doing a job that fills your cup & lights you up, it really is a "pinch me" moment.
It's not always so beautiful though.
Turning a creative passion into a business can also come with many, many challenges and if you're not intentional about how you operate your business, you can easily become consumed in it, working 24/7. Leading to overwhelm and self doubt.
While I can't claim to have "figured it all out" or that I've found balance yet (does that even exist?)
As a busy Māmā of 3, and someone who has invested in a lot of mentoring and education myself, I've certainly learnt a thing or two over the years.
I've also done the reps, putting the things I've learnt into action, and continued to learn and grow from every shoot I do.
What I do know and have learnt over this time, I’m always happy to share. A genuine open book. So whether it's helping you improve systems and workflows to get your time back. Or refining your camera skills, and posing, so you can gain some newfound confidence in yourself to show up and get back to work.
I'm here to support you and can't wait to walk alongside you.
“My newborn session today went so amazing I feel like these are the best photos I have done so far with all your helpful tips! I can’t wait to edit them!”
MATERNITY PRICING
outdoor Maternity
Outdoor maternity sessions can take place at any Hamilton or Raglan location. Once booked, I'm happy to scout locations or offer suggestions depending on the vibe you have in mind, my most popular location though, is of course Raglan beach with that beautiful golden sunset.
These sessions can include the whole family, making a great opportunity for updated family portraits or can be a beautifully empowering experience to do on your own.
It's always my priority to create a safe space that makes you feel confident and comfortable. So if you've never had professional photographs taken before or dreamed of getting your kit completely off to document this precious time, know that I am the photographer for you.

FAQ
what are the payment options?
SHOOT + EDIT requires a $500 non refundable deposit upon booking. This is taken off the overall package and the remaining balance will be due on the date of our session.
COFFEE & YARNS and ONLINE MENTORING require a $150 non refundable deposit upon booking. This is taken off the overall package and the remaining balance will be due on the date of our session.
Payments can be made via bank transfer, credit card, or Laybuy. You are even welcome to set up an AP to pay in smaller instalments prior to your session if this works best for your budget too.
Can i book this as a group?
I'm happy for groups of 2-3 people with similar goals and level of experience to book a mentoring session together. Obviously however, this will mean we won't have as much time to deep dive into your own individual businesses and needs.
