For getting in touch with me! An abundance of eye-watering happiness and laughter awaits us, and I'd absolutely love to be a part of the next chapter in your story. As a family photographer, I adore capturing the raw, unabashed connection between souls, embracing the essence of your family.

Hi there!

Thanks So Much

Why I can't wait to document
 you & Yours

From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting lost out in the wilderness, or enjoying a homemade baking sesh. I'll be there hyped to document your family story. Snapping authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the best ones!

Hand on heart, every ounce of my energy will go towards creating a gorgeous collection of images to forever memorialise your family. When you look through the photos memories will come to life and it'll be as though you're right there doing it all over again.

Hi, I'm KATIE

Unapologetic happy snapper and lover of a good oat flattie. I have always been creatively minded and had a deep love for the true connection between humans, the unabashed real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most in our lifetime.

I'm an Aussie beach bum that gave up coastal life to call the mountains home and of course, mama to three incredible daughters who are growing up way too fast. Plus one oversized doggo that is determined to be everyones best friend.

A creative soul with a love for the little moments

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where are you based?

I'm based in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand, but I travel all over the globe to capture love.

Do you photograph internationally?

You bet I do! Nothing excited me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination elopement or family celebration. If you're thinking of taking your celebrations overseas, please get in touch so we can chat about the finer details.

Do you document same-sex couples?

A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your story. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!

How will I receive my photos?

Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after our session. 2 to 3 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery. Around the same time, you'll also receive a beautiful package in the mail with a USB and a little thank you from me.

I'm worried my kids won't behave and ill be stressed the entire time..

I get it!! I'm a mama too and lets face it, kids are unpredictable! Please be reassured in knowing that I have had many years working with children and have a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. The first part of our session will be spent getting to know you all and warm up to having some fun! This is your time relax and let me take the lead.

How many photos will I receive?

Depending on the package you have booked you will receive anywhere between 30-100 images.  

Do you photograph elopements?

YES!! If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and running off to do a private ceremony with just the two of you or a handful of your nearest and dearest, I'd be absolutely honoured to document your intimate ceremony. Our elopement packages start at 2 hours' coverage, so get in touch if you'd like to learn more.

How long will it take to receive our photos?

Delivery of your gallery takes 2-3weeks. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final gallery. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.

We don't want our photos on social media

I always seek permission before sharing images and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.

Can I print my photos?

Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.

What if I have to cancel or move My booking?

Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other bookings for your session date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. But the good news is we can reschedule!

This is our third time having pics with Katie and clearly there is a reason for it! The images are amazing and even when you think they are going to be terrible with a non cooperative toddler and grandies who are little awkward Katie still managed to capture the most amazing images. We are grateful for your talent and effort that has given us a lifetime of memories.

“katie was amazing”

Haylee & Matt

Katie is such a talent, she captured our wee fam perfectly and we are so happy with all the images. Highly recommend Katie and her amazing business… bring on our next family photo session!!

“katie, you are one of a kind" 

Ewan & Shana Black

"We couldn’t be more delighted with our photos. Katie has captured our family in a happy and relaxed manner; there’s nothing forced about the images and as a result, the photos have become treasured family memories and mementoes. We love looking at them and reflecting on how our children have grown in the few months since the photos were taken. I look forward to sharing these special memories with the children when they are older too! 
The photoshoot was fun and informal and Katie’s personable and easy-going nature made it an enjoyable morning for the entire family. We thoroughly recommend Katie if you are looking for someone to capture some truly beautiful family photos.

How to Book

here's how you can lock me in

Reach out and organise a catch up

Make a final decision

We can do this in person or over Zoom. During our catch up you can ask as many questions as you'd like and get a feel for what it'll be like working together. A bit like a blind date, think of this as your chance to suss me out.

There is zero obligation to book during our catch up, so no pressure whatsoever. I want you to feel 100% comfortable and confident in your booking once we've hashed out all the details. If you're in, I'm in! Please note that I do book out pretty far in advance, so it's best to get in touch with me sooner rather than later, to avoid any disappointment.

I look forward to meeting you soon. x
