family
a session designed around your family
No two seasons look the same on this journey we call parenthood. As we're so often told, the early years are gone before we know it.
My family sessions are designed to capture you in the chapter you're in right now — a true snapshot of your ages and stages as they are today. Each session is playful and unposed, capturing every personality and the beautiful, unrepeatable dynamic that makes your family a unit.
I'd love to know — what does your dream session look like? A golden evening at the beach, a new corner of Marlborough with a view worth remembering, or the hills of your own farm, surrounded by the animals you know and love. However you picture it, I'd love to help bring it to life.
Photographing your family every year may just be the best investment you ever make.
Here to capture the love, closeness and beautiful chaos that make you completely one of a kind.
The Details
Session
A one-hour session, tailored entirely to your family - time to play, cuddle and simply enjoy one another's company. Family sessions are designed for immediate family: parents and children.
While I don't offer large extended family sessions, I'm always happy to recommend a wonderful local photographer who does.
Location
I always recommend sunrise or sunset for the dreamiest natural light, but if home is where you feel most comfortable, that's a beautiful option too. I'll also provide a location guide included in your session planner to help you choose the perfect setting for your family session.
Client Wardrobe
Enjoy complimentary access to my thoughtfully curated client wardrobe, featuring a collection of beautiful pieces chosen to photograph beautifully. You're welcome to select up to three looks throughout your session, and if you'd like to try pieces on beforehand, a wardrobe fitting at the studio can be arranged. Your session planner will also include a style guide and visual wardrobe collection to help you plan your looks with ease.
Your family experience includes:
- 1 hour sunset session at a Marlborough location of choice (within 40 mins of Blenheim)
- Access to the Client Wardrobe (up to 3x looks maximum)
- 30x Digital Images included in your package

Home is found in the people you love, the moments you share, and the memories you create together.

We have worked with Sarah for several photoshoots, from newborn sessions to family portraits and even group occasions. Every experience with her has been wonderful. She is calm, patient and so good with children, which makes the whole process feel easy and enjoyable. The photos she captures are truly magical. I always find it hard to choose just a few, so I often purchase the whole album because I don’t want to miss a single moment she has captured. We feel so lucky to have found her and will happily continue using her services in the future.
TESTIMONIALS
Tayla G.
Such a special time capsule when you have your family photographed! We’re so glad we got these photos done and we look forward to getting Sarah to do another family shoot next year! Sarah worked with us to get a location in a vibe we were aiming for, she made us feel so natural and we had a lot of fun in the process!

I’ve had Sarah do pregnancy shots and family shoots and I adore every single photo! Sarah makes you feel so comfortable and also manages kids during the shoot SO well. You’d never guess from her wonderful photography that the kids weren’t at their best. She’s so talented and I highly recommend her. So precious to have such beautiful memories captured.
The moments that become the memories you hold onto most
a season worth documenting
The days may feel ordinary now, but these are the moments you’ll look back on with the fullest heart.
The laughter, the cuddles, the little personalities, and the love woven through your everyday life are what make your family's story so special.
Together, we’ll create timeless images that preserve this chapter exactly as it is — beautifully, honestly, and authentically yours.
