Life's most meaningful moments are rarely the ones we plan—they're found in the cuddles, laughter, quiet glances, and the beautiful connections you share every day. My sessions are designed to capture these genuine moments naturally, creating timeless portraits that feel authentic, heartfelt, and uniquely yours.
Whether you're welcoming your newborn or documenting this season of family life, I'll gently guide you through a relaxed experience where there's no pressure to perform or pose perfectly. Instead, you'll simply spend time together while I preserve the love, emotion, and connection that makes your family story so special.
These are the photographs that will only become more valuable with time—honest, natural memories you'll treasure for generations. As I take on a limited number of sessions each month, I recommend booking well in advance to secure your preferred date.Warmly, Lucy x
Your Questions, Answered

Me! Lucy - the face behind the business. I’ve been taking photos for over ten-years and I connect effortlessly with kids because I am also a trained teacher! This means that sessions with me are easy and fun for the whole family - with a high likelihood that your kids will want to be my best friend and invite me to their birthday party once we are done!

In all honesty, there is no right or wrong way for your child to be during a session. I will make it fun and relaxed with little games, quiet cuddles, running wild, collecting leaves - whatever comes naturally to your family will guide the session. This creates an authentic, pressure free photoshoot!

You can reach me anytime via our contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day. If you are waiting for an email, please check your junk folder as mail sometimes gets lost there!

Family sessions take place outdoors at a secluded spot in East Auckland. I will provide a variety of locations (beach, park, forest) for you to choose from prior to the session based on your preference. These spots are quiet and peaceful places that give your family full freedom to relax. If you have a location in mind that is special to you, please let me know as I am always keen to make your session dreams come true!

Another question that comes up often - and one that I am here to help with! After you have completed your Booking Agreement, I will send through a Session Guide. This is a 9-page guide in what to expect at your session with me. It covers how to best prepare your kids, what to expect, a style guide and a few other tips and tricks!
