Hi, my name is

Kim May

Auckland Family

Photographer

I love a good book, a fine meal out and travelling to new places. My house is filled with plants, 2 dogs and one very put-out cat and to feed my soul I love nothing more than to be on my knees in the dirt, poking my camera at the finer details of nature.


I'm a wife to an incredible, and handsome man and together, we made a beautiful son who in turn, made us our own little family.


The birth of our son brought new meaning to photography. I realised just how quickly our children grow up and I cherish the photos I have to hold those moments still. One simple photograph can bring it all flooding back; the joy, laughter, peace, comfort and love.

 

This, is why I want to photograph your family.


Life is too short and family too important not to take the time to capture your family, just as they are in that moment. Being able to relive it for years to come is something you will value and never regret, I can assure you.


I can't wait to meet you and discuss how we can make lasting memories together.

This is such a special photo to me now. Not long after our shoot I ended up developing mastitis and had a really difficult breastfeeding journey. [Baby] had to be fed donor milk and formula for a few weeks and it impacted me mentally quite significantly. When I was feeling like I had failed, I would look at this photo to help remind me that I could do it, as I was very close to packing it in. I’ve been BF him again for 8 weeks. I wanted to share how I’m so glad I had this photo to look back on. Thank you.

So glad you got so much joy out of this - narrowing them down was NOT easy! Every photo was just too adorable!!! We’re purchasing some extras of course! You’ve outdone yourself.

Wow! I am blown away by the stunning photos that Kim took of my children. I love every single one, they are incredible. I cannot wait to have these printed and framed for our house. Kim engaged both children throughout the session and took a beautiful collection of photos. My children were so comfortable and happy being photographed by her, which made it easy and relaxing for me. Thank you Kim for taking such beautiful photos that we'll treasure forever. We'll be back soon!

A friend referred Kims services to us and I'm so glad we found her. Kim makes you feel so relaxed and has amazing patience with getting babies into cute positions. As new parents she gave us lots of time to settle the baby. The photos are amazing she really captured our little man beautifully. I would highly recommend and plan on using her for future shoots.

We can't stop looking at the photos! Kim captured my son so beautifully with all his expressions and cheekiness. He had lots of fun and was so relaxed and happy with Kim to photograph him. We will treasure these photos forever, now to decide on which ones to frame! Thanks so much Kim
