Family Photography + Connective Personal Branding Photography for like minded businesses. Hello there, I’m Sharnelle. Photography has been my life ever since my hands were big enough to hold the camera and press the shutter button. My eyes are always looking for that creative angle that nobody has noticed before or the details/moments people don’t think twice about. Photography is all about capturing those little moments that make your heart melt just a little. My journey through the photography world will never end – there is always something new to learn and buy (I feel as though my Christmas list is constantly gets bigger and better)! Weddings are my specialty; I don’t think you could fit any more emotions into one day? I love being apart of it all - after every wedding I leave feeling like I’ve made another bunch of great friends let alone having another incredible load of photos to share, anyways I feel like I could talk forever! Another specialty is portraits, capturing those faces, moments and love in one shot is awesome! Studio sessions are available in my studio or we can discover the outdoors and find the perfect location! Only good things come out of doing something you truly love! I love to use my creative abilities where ever is wanted so please don’t hesitate to get in touch, tell me a little about yourself and what your after!

Having spent years behind the camera, and time on the other side as a facilitator and participant, I bring all parts of myself into this work.

I love working alongside retreat hosts who are creating meaningful experiences for others, helping them capture what they’re building and giving them beautiful content to share with the world.

If you’re planning a retreat and have been thinking about bringing a photographer along, I’d love to connect and hear what you’re creating.

This weekend we treated ourselves to being tourists in the country we call home. We booked an Airbnb and spent a magical weekend exploring with some fab friends 🫶 Jess | Wildlife & Nature Photography .

One of our highlights that had Ollie & Arlo saying “this has been one of the best days of our life” was the Coromandel Ocean Adventures | Boat Tours Tairua & Pauanui tour seeing so much wildlife and learning a little Aotearoa history.

EPIC!!

If you had walked past us on the beach that evening, you might have thought it looked like chaos.

Five adventurous kids.
One incredible mum.
Bare feet racing through the sand.
Little personalities pushing boundaries.
Questions.
Laughter.
Negotiations.
Running.
Spinning.
Exploring.

The sun was sinking lower, casting the most beautiful golden light across the dunes as the kids darted from one adventure to the next.

At one point, I felt Talia wonder if the photos were going to turn out.

And honestly?

These are often my favourite sessions.

Because family photos don’t need perfect behaviour, perfectly still children, or everyone looking at the camera at the same time.

They just need truth.

The grins.
The wild energy.
The way little hands reach for Mum’s.
The running towards the ocean.
The excitement of discovering something new.
The way a family simply is when they’re together.

Years from now, these won’t just be photographs.

They’ll be reminders of this season.
Of who these children were.
Of how full life felt.
Of the love that existed in all the beautiful chaos.

And that is always worth capturing.

This family are keeping themselves offline which I love and respect so deeply so hopefully I’ve captured the stunning images enough for your imaginations to see the magic 😘✨

This was my fifth time photographing this beautiful family.
(Swipe to the end to see the cuuuteness of the first shoot we had together).

And honestly, what a privilege that is.

To watch this family grow.

To witness the chapters and the cheeky personality blossom!!

Really, to be welcomed back into a family’s story, year after year.

Feels less like work and more like sharing in something special.

So much love for this beautiful crew. 🤍

Thank you so much

One of my favourite things about photography is that the joy doesn’t just flow one way.

You see it in the laughter.
The connection.
The cuddles.
The way a family moves together.

But what you don’t always see is what’s happening behind the camera.

As I captured these moments, I found myself grinning so much my cheeks hurt.

And I think that’s how you know.

You know when you’re doing the work your soul was always meant to do.

The joy isn’t just in the photos.
It’s moving through them.

Into the camera.
And out of the camera too.

What a gift it is to witness these moments and feel them at the same time. 🤍

Thank you so so much for gifting me this time to capture this moment in time with your family x

Mother’s Day holds so many emotions.

For some, it looks like breakfast in bed and handmade cards.
For others, it carries grief, longing, complexity, exhaustion, or love in a different form.

Today I’m feeling especially grateful for my mum.
For her love, her strength, her softness, and all the ways she has shaped who I am.
Getting to capture these photos of my parents last weekend feels even more precious now. A quiet reminder to pause, to honour, and to hold close the people we love.

And today, I’m also thinking of all mothers.
The single mums carrying so much.
The mothers doing it differently than they imagined.
The women longing to become mothers.
Those missing their mums.
Those mothering others in ways the world doesn’t always see.

Whatever today feels like for you - joyful, tender, heavy, beautiful, or all of it at once.
There is space for that here.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone 🤍

When you take a moment to not only acknowledge yourself and your beauty but the magical path of self love and acceptance for your baby girls something shifts a little deeper.
Letting go of the stories we once consumed and seeing ourselves as beautiful not only changes the way you feel about yourself but it changes the world!

Bit by bit we are creating positive change.
This is the magical Kate, it’s been sooooo beautiful walking beside Kate through her journey over the last 3 years.
Thank you for inspiring me!!

I’m loving sharing the images not yet seen online. Who have I photographed that’d like to go next?

20/03/2026

The thing you may forget when you stop to look at these photos is the connection you activate to your essence and your body when you close you eyes, breathe and allow yourself to be deeply seen/captured.

It’s not a performance it’s connection to self.

Thank you your absolutely glow!! You embody self connection to beautifully - something I admire in you.

Celebrating 3 days of shares. Who wants to be next 🫶✨🦋🌻
