A stormy, windswept day at Piha Beach set the stage for an unforgettable maternity photoshoot, where the moody skies and dramatic coastline added raw beauty to every frame.


The rain came and went in bursts, misting the couple as they embraced the moment in pieces from the studio wardrobe that flowed beautifully in the wind. Gusts whipped around us, carrying the scent of salt and rain, and as we made our way toward the shoreline, a playful surge from the ocean caught us by surprise—soaking our feet and adding a wild, spontaneous energy to the shoot.


It was exhilarating, refreshing, and full of laughter—proof that even the stormiest days can be the most magical.


This is why the West is one of my top Auckland maternity photo locations—its wildness and raw, untamed beauty perfectly complement the natural, powerful essence of giving life.


The Studio Wardrobe Collection is designed to take the guesswork out of your photoshoot. All dresses are available to use, complimentary, when you book your Maternity, Newborn, Milestone or Family photography session with me. AND the special Motherhood Sessions - a Mother's Day special...
