Hawkes Bay newborn Photography Packages
Slow, cosy, natural and completely baby-led
Find out why my session experience is unlike any you have had before
There is something so beautiful about those first few weeks at home with your new baby.
The tiny fingers, the cutest sleepy stretches, milk-drunk faces that change by the second, those little newborn noises and the way they curl up on your chest. It's a fleeting little bubble of time, and somehow it disappears before you've had a chance to take it all in.
My in-home newborn sessions are relaxed, natural and baby-led. We'll use your home, your favourite spaces and all those little everyday moments to tell the story of this brand-new chapter.
And don't worry if you're exhausted, the house is messy or you have no idea what to do in front of the camera! I'll guide you through everything, with gentle posing direction, while leaving plenty of room for cuddles, feeds, nappy changes and whatever else your baby needs.
You don't need to prepare the house or have everything perfect. We just need you and your baby and I'll take care of the rest.

Kind Words
Katherine is the most incredible photographer and such a beautiful person to be around. As two people who have never felt particularly natural in front of the camera, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from the very beginning.
Both our maternity and newborn sessions felt so relaxed, enjoyable, and genuinely special. We are so grateful to have had Katherine capture such precious moments for our family, and we truly cannot recommend her enough.

maternity and Newborn Sessions
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Katherine for our newborn photo shoot! From the moment she arrived, made us feel completely at ease—professional, patient, and incredibly gentle with our little one.
The entire session felt relaxed and natural, and it was clear Katherine has a true gift for working with newborns. These are photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and we’re so grateful to have had such a positive and meaningful experience.

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.
