Choosing a photographer is about more than just beautiful photos.
It’s about finding someone you trust to guide you through the experience, keep your baby safe, help you feel confident in front of the camera, and create images you’ll still love years from now.
With over 8 years of experience, 2,000+ babies photographed, award-winning images, a fully styled client wardrobe, and both studio and in-home session options, I’ve created an experience designed to make documenting this season of life as simple as possible.

There’s something so special about capturing those early newborn days — the way they fit perfectly in Mum and Dad’s hands, the tiny details that change far too quickly, and the overwhelming love that comes with welcoming a new little person into the world.

These moments may be fleeting, but the memories will last forever.

Tiny details, sleepy cuddles, and the comfort of home 🤍

One of the things I love most about in-home newborn sessions is being able to create beautiful, studio-style images without families needing to leave the house. This little one was an absolute dream, all snuggled up with my favourite teddy and sleeping peacefully throughout the session.

Those newborn days pass so quickly, but photographs like these help you hold onto them forever.

Safe in Dad’s hands 🤍

There is something so special about capturing just how tiny a newborn is during those first few weeks. Dad’s hands won’t always seem this big, and this little one won’t stay this small for long.

One of my favourite images from yesterday’s in-home newborn session 🩵 Creating beautiful newborn portraits in the comfort of home while preserving these fleeting moments for families to treasure forever.

There’s something incredibly special about the bond between a father and his baby 🤍

These quiet moments often become some of the most treasured images from a session. The way Dad holds them close, the tiny hands wrapped around his arm, and the look of comfort and security that only a parent can provide.

Photographs like these are more than just portraits, they are memories of a stage that passes far too quickly.

✨ Capturing the connections that matter most.

There’s something so special about capturing your newborn in the place where your first memories together begin.

2 weeks and counting down 🤗

We will still only 3 minutes from the southern motorway at Drury so still super easy to get to.

Went to the new place today to do some spraying to prep for taking Ted when we move and thought I would give you a sneak peek of where we are going.

Classic, timeless, and all about celebrating this beautiful season of life ✨

There’s something so special about simple maternity portraits that keep the focus exactly where it belongs, on the connection, the anticipation, and that beautiful growing bump 🤍

I absolutely loved creating these elegant studio images for this gorgeous couple. Black and white maternity portraits never go out of style 🖤

Behind the scenes life has been a little heavier lately.

But the next month is bringing some really big exciting changes for Racheal Trail Photography and I honestly cannot wait to share them with you all 🤍

But first I thought I would share what has been happening the last 6 months.

Just after Christmas my husband suffered a cardiac arrest and had to have a defibrillator fitted. Since he hasn’t been able to drive for the past 6 months, alongside running my business I’ve also been doing the daily driving so he could continue working across the farm blocks he manages around Pukekohe.

It’s been exhausting at times balancing sessions, editing, admin, family life, travelling and now preparing for a studio move as well.

But amongst all the chaos there’s also been growth, perspective and excitement for what’s ahead.

Thank you to every client that continues to support my small business through every season of life.
