The photographs you'll be glad you madE TIME FOR
Life has a way of moving all too quickly. Children grow, families change, parents get older and the occasions when everyone is together seem to become harder and harder to organise.
Not because everything was perfect, but because they remind us of what we value highest in life, who they were, what they looked like at that age and the people we cherish the most.
You don't need a special occasion or a milestone to have photographs made
Sometimes, it’s because you’re worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the promotion end?
The Christmas promotion is available for bookings made by 22 December 2026.
When can I have my session?
Sessions can take place anytime up until 28 February 2027, subject to availability.
What does the $99 session fee include?
The $99 covers your portrait session. Your photographs and finished products are purchased separately following your session. Optional upgrade to professional hair and makeup for $255pp.
How do I receive the complimentary Photo Trio?
Simply order any Folio Box collection or Album following your session and we'll include a Photo Trio with images of your choice at no additional cost. Delivered with the folio box or album.
Can I purchase additional photographs?
Absolutely. You'll have the opportunity to view your portraits and choose the photographs and products you'd love to take home.
Can I do this by myself?
Absolutely, we would love to spoil you for the day and create confidence building photos just for you.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes we do, click here to read more about both lay-by and prepayment options.
Can this be a gift for someone?
Absolutely, we couldn’t think of something more special. It’s both an experience and a gift they will treasure for years. Unfortunately we cannot offer gift vouchers, but you can purchase the offer and book a session for someone else.
Do you do hair and make up?
Yes, if you choose to upgrade your package to include hair and make up you can. We have an amazing team of professional hair and make up artists who will make you look and feel special. We don’t ‘doll you up and hope you like it’, how you look is entirely up to you. We can cater for any sensitivities or allergies too.
How many people can you take?
We can comfortably photograph up to 10 people including kids. Any more than this our little studio begins to feel quite snug. If you have a large group please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate everyone.
Can we bring our pet with us?
Yes, we love working with fur babies of all types. When you enquire just let us know and we’ll chat about the best way to include them in your photo shoot. They are part of the family after all.
What am I going to do with all these photos?
We love seeing families share their portraits, passing them among loved ones or rotating the ones on display while keeping the rest stored safely. Perhaps you're thinking about creating heirlooms - something to be cherished and passed down for generations.
I truly believe we should have more than just one lonely photo of ourselves. Each of us has so many facets, and every portrait should capture a different piece of who we are. Leaving behind images you are proud of is invaluable; they become treasured heirlooms for our children and grandchildren, offering glimpses into our lives and legacies long after we’re gone.
Can I dress casually or does it have to be glamorous?
Yes, you can dress casual. At your consultation we will chat about what you want to wear and if you want casual and dressy/glamorous we can do both too! And we have a studio wardrobe for you to use if you don’t want to wear something from home.
How much?
If you are looking for fast and cheap, we are probably not the best studio for you. However if you want to be pampered, taken care of, enjoy a simple and carefree experience where you are helped every step of the way, then we are perfect for you! If you want to take home luxury prints guaranteed to last 75+years and become heirlooms then you’ll love what we do. We don’t do high volume, in-out factory styled sessions. Each photo shoot is a model for a day experience and we charge accordingly. Individual images strata $325 and folio box/albums begin from $1799. Please note, there is no obligation to buy and what you choose to take home is entirely up to you!
Can you work with limited mobility?
Yes, we have worked with everyone from 6months to 96yrs and nothing should stop you having beautiful photos you are proud of. There are so many tips and tricks I can share with you to minimise aids and work with inflexibility. We can hide wheelchairs, provide posing boxes to lean on and ensure that those who are able to move comfortably do the most moving when posing so that those who can’t don’t have to.
Can I combine this special with another promotion, can I stack discounts?
Please note as per NZ standard business practice, this offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion; including but not limited to discounts, specials, giveaways or competitions. However it can be used with any fully paid gift voucher.
