WHAKATANE FAMILY + NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
JOY FILLED PHOTOS FOR GROWING BUMPS, FUN LOVIN COUPLES + FAMILIES & THE MILESTONES IN BETWEEN
THE KINDA PHOTOS YOU REALLY WANT; EXPRESSIVE, PLAYFUL, AND FUSS FREE!
Most people don’t love being photographed. I get it.
So I'm guessing you're booking these photos to hold onto the memories before life changes, again?
If you're here for the toddler chaos we can't control, the way your partner makes you crack up or grin ear to ear because only they could. Cool, me too.
Because that’s life right now, it's real and deserves to be remembered.
You don't just want another photographer; you want someone who can read the room, meet you where you’re at, and follow the emotion. So the moments you keep ACTUALLY feel like YOU. Your people. Your energy....all of it together.
If you’re after photos that feel easy and unforced, where how it felt matters more than how it looked, you’re in the right place.
These are the kinda photos where your partner grabs your boobs or ya kid wipes snot on your jeans, and it makes the final gallery. Why?...
FOR PHOTOS WITH PERSONALITY
Hey! I'm Renee, a Whakatane photographer from the sunny Bay of Plenty in New Zealand.
To me the best photos aren’t just about looking good.
If they spark a feeling or a 'remember when' memory ......that’s what matters.
They're less “cringe” and more “LOLS”, but still get your good side. I’m all about making it fun and light-hearted, so you enjoy the experience, not just grit your teeth and get through it.
-
No awkward pressure to 'perform'.
-
No convincing your kids to “behave.”
-
No pressure to get all lovey-dovey if that's not you.
Just meeting you where you're at to bring out the best of your personalities on camera.
Whether you're newly engaged and planning a wedding, are growing your family (or small biz), or are deep in the trenches of motherhood, I'm here to photograph it all in a way that feels real, easy, and anything but awkward.
BECAUSE YOUR EXPERIENCE MATTERS JUST AS MUCH AS THE PHOTOS. EVEN MORE.
