Molly & Poppy

You may recognise these guys from “What Now”. Talented, Adorable, strong, hardworking & hilarious. Photographing these guys was a dream. The control they have over their bodies is beautiful to photograph. Every arm beautifully placed & poised right down to the tip of their toes. Their commitment to their craft blows my mind! Follow Molly B Official and Poppy Brown Popstar.

If you would like to have your dance photographed like this please get in touch. We travel frequently for photoshoots all over the country. To make it extra fun, get a group together & we can design a group dance session. Each dancer gets their own time in front of the camera + 10 gorgeous images.

Dance Sock Academy

How adorable are these little socks by “Dance Sock Academy” These socks help dancers learn correct technique through story and the cute little graphics on the socks. I absolutely love being a small part of helping new businesses with their imagery, especially when it involves unicorns.

Kerikeri : My heart.

I couldn't believe my eyeballs when I visited the Far North for the first time in 2008. I had just had my first baby in Dunedin & my husband had applied for a temporary position at the other end of the country, flying over the Bay of Islands and right up to Cape Reinga.

I was near the beginning of my photography career and enjoying photographing babies and weddings. My style hadn't developed yet, but that was all set to change the second I photographed a child in the lush greeness of the native bush... I was hooked... like forever... obsessed with greeness... and when i found bright green moss! Oh my goodness my world was complete.

A special client at one of my favourite places - Rollands Woods.

I also photographed regularly for the Natural Parent Magazine

I got my first cover for The Natural Parent Magazine, featuring the beautiful Ava.

It was a lot easier to get up for early morning light before there was three of them

We loved it so much up there that we ended up staying for six years. We purchased a home with a beautiful studio overlooking Kerikeri Inlet and welcomed two more babies into our family.

We left Kerikeri in 2015 with a very heavy heart but return once of twice a year to visit our incredible friends & regular clients. If you would like your portraits taken in Kerikeri please send me a message to be added to the wait list. Sessions take place at Rollands Woods, Rainbow Falls & The Redwoods.

Enzo & his people

A beautiful family session to celebrate their furriest family member Enzo. It was an honour to photograph him and his family. It was clear these guys gave Enzo the most wonderful life. Sadly Enzo has now passed. My thoughts are with you guys.

Outdoor newborn session

An outdoor newborn shoot isn’t the first thing that pops into your head when booking your newborn photoshoot. I want to change that! Babies and nature, so much green - what could be more beautiful! These sessions are also great for older kiddos too, giving everyone the opportunity to get out in the fresh air. The shoot below was photographed in Titirangi, Auckland. I have recently photographed the most beautiful Dunedin family in the bush midwinter with their little bundle all wrapped up nice and snug!

You can choose to have your entire newborn session outside or just add it onto your studio shoot. Doing both gives you the best of both worlds with unwrapped studio portraits that capture every detail right down to those tiny toes.
