A sequence of six panoramic photos showing bright orange poppies blooming in a field against a blue sky.

Kovo and Jimi are long time clients of mine, my first time photographing them was 2014 for their wedding when I was fresh out of uni! They are big believers in capturing all of the messy raw in-between images and documenting their girls over the years and phases they've been through. Their love of photos has evolved with me and they are always so happy to try different styles (as mine has certainly changed a lot over the years I've been working with them!). This family is full of fun, wild energy but mostly love so I absolutely adore capturing them.


This session was a little different as it was their 10-year wedding anniversary so not only were we getting some awesome family photos, Kovo also wanted to re-create one of their favourite wedding photos. Scroll to the end to see how this came out.
