Kia ora, I’m Emma - the heart behind the lens
I’m a proud mum of three girls, originally from beautiful Taranaki and now based in sunny Papamoa. My love for photography started young with a fascination with cameras and a passion for capturing surf life along the wild Taranaki coast. That deep connection to the ocean and nature still weaves its way into my work today.
Over the years, my focus naturally shifted to documenting the beauty of family life - those precious early days, the quiet in between and all the joy that comes with our whanau growing. While raising my own children, I continued to grow my skills and turn my passion into a business. Now specialising in newborn, maternity and family photography - I’ve had the privilege of photographing over 100 families and each session feels just as special as the first.
I can’t wait to capture your story - honestly, beautifully and with heart. Just as you are in this season of life.

“We had Emma take our maternity photos, and it couldn’t have gone any better!
She was so gentle, comforting and my very shy 3 year old warmed up to her so fast!
We are so grateful to have these special moments captured by her. We love them so so much x”
