Sweet miracle of life - Auckland Maternity Photographer

"My precious little baby 

I have loved you from the start 

You are a tiny miracle 

Laying closely to my heart 

Each day I feel your presence 

Each day you heart beats softly 

As only I could know 

So I'll keep this in a special place 

And remember each year through 

Of this very special time in my life 

The moment I carried you"  ~ Unknown

A beautiful maternity session made even more beautiful by this radiantly beautiful woman - she is just that inside and out. The mighty rain clouds rolled away and the midday sun came out bright and golden as we started this maternity session. The gorgeous light was absolutely fitting to capture her miracle of life! 

I Believe...

I came across this quote while shopping aimlessly on Etsy. I'll admit I'm an Etsy shopaholic at times and constantly waiting on packages to arrive or checking our New Zealand currency against the US dollar ;) All my newborn and baby props and wraps are acquired there. 


Back to the quote: it describes me completely.... down to a T!! Reading it brings a smile to my face and it was exactly what I needed as I sat here engrossed in the piles of editing and getting galleries ready while my little one naps after his big morning of swimming lesson.

p.s


After this  week is over, I'll be needing a manicure, an awful amount of primping and lots of pink among other things!

Baby Peter - Auckland Newborn Photographer

"A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities." ~ Eda J LeShan

Meet the sweetest and most precious baby boy Peter, at only 9 days old. He is a blessing to one of the warmest and loving parents I've come across! I know I'm late at putting up this gorgeous baby session :) Enjoy!!

Beautiful Belly - Auckland Maternity Photographer

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone ~ Unknown


A beautiful maternity session with an amazingly relaxed and gorgeous couple. I always love to capture a story and absolutely love the last image. From the dad-to be's family, for generations, every first born son has named his first-born son Peter. Such a precious tradition and it also saves them from name - searching once you know baby's gender!!! Sharing few of my favourites, enjoy!!

THE AMAZING MURPHY FAMILY - AUCKLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

This post has been well overdue. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and photograph this wonderful family. I learnt of Natalie's story through a fundraiser on Facebook and finally met this amazing woman during our photo shoot. Natalie was diagnosed with cancer over a year and a half ago and given only 2-5 years to live. Earlier this year, she was told even more devastating news that it looked more to be 12-18 months. She shares her story very openly in the hopes to raise breast cancer awareness among us young woman. Please do take time out to read her story here, I promise she will inspire you to live better. I have yet to meet a more stronger, determined and inspirational woman as her.

 Her portrait session was my gift to her family in the hopes to capture her beauty, a mother's love, and the beautiful relationship with the men in her life. It's also a gift for her charming little boy, Jackson to treasure eternally. Not least of all, it captures the essence and spirit of life - enjoy!

BABY MAX - AUCKLAND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

I've got a lot of catching up to do with this blog!! Promised myself to keep it updated more frequently :) For now, here is baby Max from a while ago. What an adorable and easy baby to photograph!! He's mum was a little worried about him sleeping during the photo shoot but this chap was one of the easiest newborns I've managed to put to sleep. Looking forward to seeing him again soon for his 6 month-milestone session!!


Enjoy!

BABY WILCO - AUCKLAND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

What a cool name this wee chap has, don't you agree? I absolutely and hopelessly fell in love with his gorgeous chubbiness!! He's mum was open to ideas and that beautiful tanoa (kava bowl) had caught my eye the moment I walked in. Their beautiful house was drenched with divine light and  how could we not have a little  bit of fun in such a setting? Enjoy!!











I LOVE SOME OUTTAKES ONCE IN A WHILE :)
