Family photography is a widely sought part of the industry. However this means that there are so many options. I was a little nervous about going down this avenue, we know many amazing photographers in Southland. It was a "let's just try it" moment and it has paid off.
I am very grateful to everyone who took a chance on me last year. I am so pleased I took this step! I find so much joy in meeting new families and their extended families. Sessions start off a little nervous and by the end everyone is relaxed and more "themselves" which is when I find the best photos are taken. This year I have extended my session times because of this and changed my family packages on a whole to make for a better experience.

I have been debating with myself on where to go with photography for quite some time. I have always wanted to do *something*, but like any hobby it costs money and takes up time. I took the plunge in April last year to explore the business route. I am loving the challenge! I had always had point and shoot cameras. I got to the point I wanted to take things further so I took the plunge and bought my first DSLR. I have taught myself all I know so far and I am looking forward to learning more. This past Christmas I upgraded my kit. I changed brands, which is unlike me, but I have found it worth it! Like everything in life, even the website has been a challenge to make decisions on. How far to go, whether to blog, whether Facebook might be enough. I decided I would take a step back from daily stories on Instagram and pour more into writing as it is what I prefer. In this blog I will document about photography, but also about my life from time to time as my family are a huge part of my photography story. Thank you for reading this far! I will get better at it.
