Welcome! I'm Kate


I'm here to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary art



Documenting the seemingly ordinary, familiar moments from all seasons of Motherhood that you'll miss one day. Film photography lover & expert, I offer timeless images that tell your story through fine art.



Your family photographer, available in Hamilton and Wellington offering film and digital photography.

Pink and white vertical striped background pattern with alternating wide and narrow stripes.
A tender moment captured in a garden with red flowers, showing love and connection against a natural backdrop.
A cozy living room interior with a beige sofa, photo collage wall art, wooden shelving, and modern table lamp.

Passionate about getting your images out of the screen & into your home


I believe your photographs deserve to live beautifully beyond the screen. When children see themselves thoughtfully displayed in their home, it creates a quiet sense of pride, belonging, and story. I offer fine-art printing and album products as part of all of my packages to bring your images to life.

“When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice”
