Newborn & Family Photographer Wellington
Hi, I’m Laura! Wellington’s favourite newborn and family photographer who believes in freezing the moments that slip away far too fast.
For over 15 years, I’ve helped families capture the chaos, the calm, and everything in between. From sleepy newborn yawns to frosting-covered cake-smash giggles and full whānau cuddles.
My studio is warm, calm, and baby-safe. You don’t have to know how to pose or “be photogenic”. I’ll gently guide you through every step so you can simply be present.
Because to me, photography isn’t about perfect smiles.
It’s about real connection... the tiny hand holding your finger, the proud grin on dad’s face, the quiet exhale when mama finally relaxes.
Whether we’re creating heirloom newborn portraits, celebrating your baby’s first birthday, or capturing your whānau just as you are right now, my goal is always the same:
✨ make it easy
✨ make it meaningful
✨ make it yours
Based in Wellington, New Zealand, I photograph newborns, maternity, cake smash, and family sessions both in my studio and outdoors in our beautiful local light.
If you’re after images that make you feel something every time you look at them, you’re in the right place.
Let’s create memories that last long after the moment has passed.
Choose your session type
IN-STUDIO
Newborn
For those fleeting first few weeks after you have a baby. These sessions are baby-led and filled with images all about your connection and how much love you have for this tiny human.
Family
Perfect for families at any stage; toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between. Focussing on genuine interaction, connection and beautiful timeless images.
Cake Smash
Celebrating your baby’s first birthday in style! This is just as much about celebrating you winning at this parenting thing for a whole year!
Maternity
Capture this special time and remember how amazing your body is for creating this whole human being!
OUTDOOR
Beach
Beach sessions are relaxed and playful, perfect
for families who love movement and laughter.
Beach sessions are usuallyphotographed in the last hour before the sun sets - so this could be quite late in the summer months - keep this in mind when booking this session.
Recommended for babies at least 6 months +.
Park
Lush green backdrops and a look that feels classic and timeless. Also a great option for families who love natural movement and a fun-vibe.
These sessions can be booked around mid-evening so the sun isn’t as strong but not as late as beach sessions.
