FEEL GOOD PHOTOS
Hey I'm Renee
I'm a maternity & newborn photographer based near Whakatane in sunny Bay of Plenty, New Zealand who loves creating images full of personality with a nostalgic nod to family life.
​​
Whether you're eagerly awaiting the arrival of a little one, already soaking in your newborn bubble, in the depths of wrangling toddlers, or planning to say "I do" - I'm here to make capturing these moments feel easy, enjoyable and anything BUT awkward.
​
My sessions are simple; all about keeping things relaxed - embracing playful energy, letting kids have fun, and focusing on moments that feel good, leaving your family with the best memories.
​
I love working with families & couples who:​
-
Want photos with personality - not just 20th teeth for grandma.
​
-
Appreciate a mix of playful interactions and simple, timeless images.
​
-
​Are willing to trust the process, and have a laugh along the way.
​​​​​
Take a look around, get a feel for my work or learn more about my approach here.​​​​​ I'd love to hear from you.

Renee
