WHY PEOPLE BOOK

Because life changes fast — and phones don’t count

Most families don’t book photos because they’re bored.
They book because they’ve realised the “we should do this sometime” years are disappearing.

This is for families who want:

  • photos that feel like your family (not stiff and posed)
  • a calm experience where you’re guided the whole way
  • printed pieces that live in your home, not in a folder

WHAT THE SESSION FEELS LIKE

No awkward posing. Just simple direction that works.

You don’t need to “perform”. You just need a little guidance.

I’ll prompt you into natural movement so the photos feel real:

  • walking, playing, cuddling, chatting
  • small groupings (whole family, parents, kids together, individual moments)
  • the in-between moments that always end up being favourites

Outdoor sessions are best for this: space to move, great light, and kids can be kids.

Your photos should exist in real life

If you’ve ever paid for photos and then never printed them… you already know how this ends.

That’s why my collections are built around printed artwork, with digitals as an add-on (not the main event).

Typical favourites for clients:

  • A small set of matted prints
  • A framed hero print
  • A fine art album (beautiful, and easy to revisit)

Digital files are included, but the real value is owning something physical.

THE PROCESS

How it works

  1. Book your session
    Pick a date. You’ll get a simple prep guide (clothing, timing, what to expect).
  2. Shoot day (outdoors in Hamilton)
    We keep it relaxed and moving. You’ll be guided the whole time.
  3. Gallery delivered in 1 week
    You’ll receive your images digitally.
  4. Choose your artwork
    Frames, albums, canvas, prints, whatever fits your home.
  5. Artwork ready in 2–3 weeks
    Finished pieces arrive ready to hang or gift.

Let’s make something for your wall.

If you’re ready, send an enquiry and tell me:

  • How many people
  • Kids’ ages
  • What package you are leaning towards

Frequently Asked Questions

Totally normal. The session is designed around movement and prompts, we don’t rely on perfect stillness. Also, I have kids… I get it and am very very patient

You’ll get a guide. Short version: coordinated, not matching; avoid big logos; soft neutral tones photograph best.

Outdoors around Hamilton. I’ll recommend spots based on the light, season, and how your kids are likely to move.

I have a small studio, but most family sessions work better outdoors — especially as the number of people increases.
