PHOTOS THAT TELL A MEMORABLE STORY,

WHAT WILL YOURS SAY?

The opportunity to capture your family simply as they are and exist right now is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your future self.

As you look back on these images years from now, how you looked and what you wore won't matter, but the emotions of that time will come flooding back; how small those little hands were encased in yours, the sweet gap toothed and gummy smiles, the overwhelming sense of love.

Time moves swiftly, and today's fleeting moments become tomorrow's cherished memories.

Let's capture the beauty of your family's journey now.

Let's capture it!

Hey there, I'd love to meet you!

Hey, I’m Claire, your go-to photographer for love, laughter, and all the beautiful chaos in between.

I’m based in sunny Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, and I specialise in capturing the magic of weddings, bumps, babies, and families—basically, all the chapters that make up your story.


I’m not here for stiff poses and awkward smiles. My sessions are relaxed, real, and full of movement—more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera.

We’ll chase the light, let the kids run wild, and laugh our way through it all so that what you’re left with isn’t just gorgeous images—but moments that feel like you.


I love working with people who:


  • Want photos that show their real connection, not just their best angles.
  • Crave a mix of natural, timeless shots and those perfectly imperfect in-between moments.
  • Are up for a bit of adventure, trust me to do my thing, and don’t mind a giggle or two along the way.


So whether you’re soaking in the newborn snuggles, knee-deep in toddler life, planning your big “I do,” or simply want to document this chapter of your journey—I’m here to capture it in a way that’s stress-free, meaningful, and totally you.
