“Being in front of my lens is anything but intimidating. I’m not incredibly attractive. In fact I’m often compared to Sid the Sloth off the movie Ice Age... You have nothing to fear

Hello. . I’m Jenna Thank you for considering to hire me as your photographer. I am extremely passionate about my craft and love nothing more than to watch mum’s cry when they see their family portraits for the first time... Sometimes I cry too. I understand that for some the idea of having your portrait taken is a little daunting, especially for us woman (I’m a mother of three, with extra lumps and bumps!). But please you must EXIST in photographs for your children, it’s so important. During this process I will help you get comfortable in front of the camera, together we will make gorgeous images, full of love, light and real connection. You will love the experience and the art we create will become one of your families treasured heirlooms for years to come.
“You can’t wait until you are perfect … Because you are never perfect or maybe, just maybe you are...” Sue Bryce
Mothers Love Your family session isn’t just about that Must have family shot... Its about each special relationship you share with each of your children...
Beautifully Chaotic Sometimes my children all dress nicely & sit quietly while I photograph them. Most of the time though its chaos! during your session we aim for both.
Make it Fun.. before your session we will chat about the style of imagery you love and plan your session. Some prefer to keep it natural which means we use our surroundings for inspiration. Others like to dress up, bring “props” from home or use items from our evolving collection of “stuff”. No matter what you decide your images will be magical.
Choose a Theme..
or a location that means a lot to you...
Time it Right.. most sessions are scheduled for 1.5 hours prior to sunset... to make sure we catch the soft dreamy light. sometimes older children may like to stay a little later & have fun with the lights in the dark.
H o w i t w or k s | t h e p r o c e s s S T E P ON E Book your session. Together we will discuss location, clothing and anything else that will help add to your families story. S T E P T W O Your session will be booked for either early morning or 1.5 hours before sunset. We will spend the next 1-2 hours laughing, running around like idiots - doing whatever it takes to get your little or big ones laughing.. Its a real team effort. S T E P T H R E E We will then schedule a REVEAL session where you will get to view the images for the first time... EXCITING! You will also get to view our beautiful books & custom framed prints. Its up to you what you would like to purchase. You can either purchase A la Carte (pay per print) or opt for our most popular option and purchase a Collection of finished pieces for your wall and book shelf, collections also include all your digital files. S T E P F O U R Books and Prints then take 2-5 weeks depending on the exact product you chose.
Full Service Life is busy, life is crazy... Recording your life & love for each other is important. But we have to go further than having our portraits taken & a CD of images. We must get them printed and framed and up on our walls and in books for our shelves. I say we, because in the past I have been just as guilty of this as my clients, but not anymore! I am completely and utterly in love with the world of print and I’m so excited to share my new found love with you. We have put together Four brilliant collections to preserve your memories for your children. We take it very seriously! - Using only the finest materials for our prints and framing, 100% cotton fine art paper, vibrant pigment inks & museum grade glass. Our flush-mount albums are the perfect way for telling your families story with the majority of books coming standard with 30 pages their is plenty of room to show all your favorite images. With our proofing software, you can be part of the design process and together we can build your family a book that I’m sure will become one of your most prized possessions - I know mine are! Anyway, would you even know where to start with all these images! >>>>>> I can help you with it all during your Image Reveal Session. We will select those that are destined for the wall, those that are better suited for a book and we will even choose which prints the grandparents will love. This all takes place in the comfort of your own home so we can make sure we choose the right size prints & colours for your walls. Now thats what we call FULL SERVICE

From the Heart I cannot stress enough how important it is to have your family photographed. On November 24th 2006 I had a sister, a day later I did not. While coming to terms with how I was to possibly function without her in my life, I became obsessed with searching for a photograph that was truly us... An image that showed how we felt about each other... I never found it... Sadly it exists only in my head. Since then and driven by my sister, I have photographed hundreds of people throughout New Zealand, creating heirloom portraits, to be cherished for generations to come. So please, if professional photography isn’t something you are ready to invest in right this second and my payment plans do not work for you either... Please photograph your children - even when they get big. Focus on real connection, the moments in-between and true emotion. Most importantly back-up your personal images Online and on external hard-drives and keep them off site and keep them safe.

LITTLE TIP I find smugmug.com great for backing up all my personal & client images.
