More about Emma


Hello, I’m Emma, an experienced Queenstown-based family photographer who is passionate about photographing babies and children, in an organic natural way. I’m mum to two gorgeous boys, Toby and Thomas (who are growing up too fast!) and my furbaby (girl) Luna, who is a cuddly cavoodle.


Before beginning my full-time career as a photographer, I worked as a graphic designer in London. I travelled the world before choosing New Zealand to put down roots raise and family. When my first baby Toby was born I realised just how incredible newborns/babies are. He inspired me to pick up my camera and capture all the milestones, chubby rolls and gummy grins. I've now been photographing babies and families for over 13 years!


I wanted to document every detail, from his teeny toes to his button nose. Before I knew it, he had become a chubby 6 month old, 8 month old walker (then runner) started nursery and then school. Two years later came Thomas, and he has been chasing his big brother’s coat tails his whole life – desperate to join in the fun… now they are both at high school!


Every stage of my children’s lives so far have amazed me, and it seems like these moments went by in the blink of an eye. I am thankful that I have their portraits to remember the details of each stage of their story so far… I know will treasure these forever.

I would love to work with your family and create memories that will you too can treasure forever.

Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

Pictures, like memories and stories, are part of our legacy. We hold them close, we pass them down.

It’s a gift to be able to share a visual of moments, details, people, places and things to those we love, so that they, too, can feel a glimmer of the joy we feel.

Each photograph tells a narrative, a snapshot of a fleeting moment frozen in time. They capture the essence of our experiences, the laughter and the tears, the milestones and the mundane.

Capture each precious moment, whether it's a spontaneous giggle, a first step, or a quiet bedtime story. These fleeting instances are the threads that weave the beautiful tapestry of their childhood. Years from now, you'll look back and cherish these memories, grateful for the effort you put into preserving them.


Remember, it's not the grand gestures but the small, everyday moments that truly define a lifetime of love and joy.
