A little over a month ago, I had the sweetest session with Manaia and her little boy amongst the towering trees of the Redwoods in Rotorua 🌲🤍

There’s something so special about photographing motherhood in a place like this — quiet moments, little cuddles, curious eyes, and all those in-between moments that you never want to forget.

Manaia and her boy were an absolute joy to photograph. From exploring the forest floor to those beautiful mama-and-baby snuggles, this session was full of warmth, connection and so much love.

A little late sharing these, but some moments are worth waiting for ✨

A little bit of a late post, but I couldn’t not share this little maternity shoot I did a little over a month ago with Melanie and Taylor 🤍

This was my first ever maternity shoot, and honestly, the photos turned out even better than I expected. It was such a special shoot to be a part of, and I’m so grateful to Melanie and Taylor for trusting me to capture this beautiful time for them. 🥹✨

I’d also just like to apologise for being a bit quiet lately. It’s been one thing after another over the last couple of months, and life has definitely been a little hectic. But I’m slowly getting back into things, and I hope everyone is doing well, looking after themselves, and taking it easy where you can. 🤍

Thank you for sticking around and supporting me, even when I’ve been a little MIA. It means more than you know! 📸✨

Hey everyone! 💛

Just a little update for those patiently waiting on your galleries.

I’m currently in the process of denoising every single photo individually before I deliver them. In photography, denoising is the process of removing the grainy or speckled appearance (known as “noise”) that can appear in images, especially those taken in low light. Doing this carefully helps create cleaner, sharper, and more polished photos while keeping all the beautiful details intact.

Because I’m doing this one photo at a time—and there are quite a few images—it is a very time-consuming process. I want to make sure every gallery is the best quality possible before it lands in your inbox.

Rest assured, everyone who is currently waiting will have their gallery by the end of next week. Keep an eye on your inbox! ✨

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding, and I’m so sorry for the wait. I truly appreciate your support! 🤍 x

Hey everyone! 💕

If you’ve received a message from me over the last week or so, just a little update!

Hubby is back at work now, which means I’ll be getting back into editing from tomorrow. 😊 I just want to apologise if you’ve already been waiting a few weeks. I currently have over 1,000 photos to edit, and I’m taking the time to make sure every single client receives the best possible outcome for their gallery.

Just a reminder that I’ll be editing in the order my mini sessions were held, from the very first session through to the last one on the 18th. I really appreciate your patience while I work through them as quickly as I can without compromising on quality.

Please rest assured that everyone will receive their final galleries. ❤️

Thank you all so much for your understanding, patience, and support—it truly means the world to me! ✨

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Olivia, Kween, and their beautiful babies, and I still can’t get over how these photos turned out. 🥺✨

I’m honestly so obsessed with this entire shoot. Every image feels so full of love, personality, and those little moments that make memories so special.

The best part? Knowing they loved their gallery just as much as I did. 🤍 Thank you for trusting me to capture these precious moments—it was such an honour.

I can’t wait to share more photos for the next couple weeks! 📸✨

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the beautiful Taliyah and her sweet son here in Matamata. 🤍

These images turned out so beautifully, but that’s no surprise—Taliyah’s warmth and love shine through in every single photo.

What made this session even more special is that I didn’t just capture memories… I made a new friend. I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and it was such an honour to document this precious season for them.

Thank you, Taliyah, for trusting me with these moments. These are the memories that make me love what I do. ✨

Hey everyone! Just another little update from me. 🤍

If you’re waiting on your gallery, I sincerely apologise for the longer wait than usual. Things have been a little chaotic on my end lately, and to top it all off, my laptop decided to throw a bit of a hissy fit after we moved. 🤣

For anyone who’s had photos taken recently, the longest turnaround time will be around 3 weeks. This is just so I can make sure everyone from the first group through to the last is edited in order and receives the same care and attention.

Rest assured, your photos will be delivered as soon as they’re ready, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding while I work through them all.

I hope everyone’s having a fab week and staying warm! 🫶

Thank you so much,
Shakia 🤍
