Kind words from our lovely clients

Thank you so much Rachael! You made the experience so calm and easy. Especially being a new mum. Such a snuggly beautiful environment. Couldn’t recommend you more!

Rachael was simply amazing. If we have more children, I will be back! As first time new parents it was a daunting thought taking a newborn out. Rachael made the whole experience so easy! The photos were just incredible but the care and attention that went into every little detail is what impressed me the most. 10/10 would recommend

Sooo in love with our experience and photography we had with Rachael. We had the family and newborn photos taken and can not recommend enough !!! Will definitely be back for more family photos. We have one hanging up in our room and the rest in the lounge.

Rachael is not only an amazing photographer but she is so skilled as well at handling babies. My newborn slept the whole way throughout his session. Rachael was very loving towards him, very gentle when handling and soothing him. My husband and I were comfortably sitting at her studio drinking coffee and catching up while baby was having photos taken. Even diaper changes were taken care of by Rachael and her assistant. All I had to do was breastfeed him and enjoy looking at him being photographed while sleeping peacefully. Even though these first few days with a newborn is tiring, going out for this session was a highly enjoyable experience!!

Rachael was AMAZING with our maternity shoot! I just wanted a beautiful hapu mama photo at the beach... in the middle of winter no less! Rachael put her body on the line and was up to her waist in the ocean to produce many beautiful photos for us to choose from. She was good at setting the scene for someone who doesn't know how to pose Great communicator, 10/10 would recommend!

We got the most beautiful images of our baby girl, best ones we have had done ! So Thank you very much Rachael. Highly recommend!
