Hawkes Bay Maternity Photography Packages
the little details that make your family yours
Find out why my session experience is unlike any you have had before
Your family is changing all the time, and somehow each new phase makes you forget the little details of the one before it.
Those chubby little hands with the dimples on it, the arm rolls, the gap where their front teeth used to be, the special necklace they never take off, or that funny little thing they do that you swear you'll always remember.
Then you look at a photo years later and think, “Oh my gosh, I remember when they used to do that!” Or you catch yourself looking at that tiny little person in the photograph, then glance over at the much more grown-up version sitting beside you on the couch and think, “How are you so big now?”
My family sessions are relaxed, natural and fully guided, with plenty of fun, games and gentle posing direction along the way. You don't need to know what to do or worry about getting everyone to behave - I'll keep things easy and fun while capturing all those little details that make your family yours.

Kind Words
Our family session with Katherine was such a great experience. She was incredibly patient with our daughter, who immediately felt comfortable with her — which led to genuine smiles and natural moments throughout the session.
We loved the location and really enjoyed how relaxed and fun the entire process felt. When the gallery arrived, we had the hardest time choosing favorites because every photo was so beautiful… so we ended up choosing them all!

Family Session
Had the pleasure of working with Katherine numerous times now and we simply adore her and her work. She would very calmly guide us through the sessions, making the process easygoing and fun. So much so the kids (and even the husband) look forward to having photos taken by her.
The photos always turn out amazing even when we thought we were awkward in front of the camera or the kids weren’t being cooperative. So glad we found Katherine.

Turn your memories into artwork
Your beautiful photos deserve more than an Instagram post or to get lost on a dusty hard drive!! With access to my professional printing service, you can turn your favourite images into beautiful framed artwork for your walls, or a gorgeous album to look back through and take a little walk down memory lane.
What do we wear?
So you have booked your session, then you realise wait!? What should we wear?
I have a beautiful client wardrobe with luxury, curated dresses available for mums to feel special, and you're welcome to use anything from here for your session!
I'll help you choose outfits that work well together and photograph beautifully, so you don't have to spend hours trying to figure it all out. You're also very welcome to wear your own clothes- whatever you are most comfortable in.
The aim is to make your session as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time enjoying the experience! :)
Frequently asked questions
Step one: Get in touch
Send through an enquiry and tell me a bit about your family and what you're after. I'll help you find the right session and get some dates over to you.
Once you've picked one, a non-refundable deposit locks it in (it comes off your package total), and when that and your contract are sorted, the date's officially yours
Step Two: Plan and Prep
You'll get everything you need to get ready, plus a questionnaire so I can start getting a feel for your family before we've even met. I'll help you pick a location, and you're welcome to raid my client wardrobe.
About a week out I'll be in touch with the final details and your remaining balance, then I'll text you the morning of to confirm timing once I've had a look at the weather.
Step three: The big day
This is the bit that really matters: connection, some quiet cuddles, probably a bit of kid chaos, all of it.
There's no posing to remember or right way to do it: I'll guide you through as we go, so all you need to do is turn up and be together. I'll handle the rest.
Step Four: Gallery & Keepsakes
You'll get a private online gallery to browse and pick your favourites.
If you fall for more than your package covers, you can upgrade to a bigger collection or the full gallery. You can also choose images to print or turn into something for your walls, because they deserve better than sitting on a hard drive forever.
