Family Session

 

Photographing the moments that make your family yours, the laughter, the closeness, and the in-between moments you’ll want to remember as time moves forward.


“Connection captured simply, unforced, natural, and true to your family.”

 

Family Photography



Family sessions are about capturing the connection, personality, and everyday moments that make your family yours. Whether it’s a relaxed shoot at home, on the farm, or somewhere meaningful to you, the focus is always on natural moments and genuine interaction.


These sessions are easy, laid-back, and guided just enough to keep everything feeling effortless. No stiff posing, no pressure, just honest images you’ll look back on for years to come.

FAQ

What should we wear?

Neutral, soft tones and simple textures photograph beautifully. Avoid bold logos and heavy patterns. I’m happy to send a styling guide once your session is booked.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions can take place on your farm, at home, or at a location we choose together. I’m happy to recommend spots around Martinborough and the wider Wairarapa.

What if the kids don’t cooperate?

That’s completely normal—and often the best moments come from it. I’ll guide things gently and keep it relaxed so everyone feels comfortable and natural.

Can we include dogs or animals?

Absolutely. Pets are part of the family, especially on farms. Just let me know in advance so we can plan around them.

How many images will we receive?

You’ll receive a curated gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images, ready to download and print.

When will we receive our photos?

Family galleries are delivered within 2–6 weeks, with a small sneak peek shared shortly after your session.

How do we book?

A 25% deposit secures your session, with the remaining balance due on the day of the shoot. Dates are limited, especially during spring and autumn.

Kind words from

CHARLIE & TIPI

"We had such a great experience with Matt for our family photo shoot. He was incredibly easy-going and made everyone feel comfortable straight away, especially the kids. He knew exactly when and where to capture the best moments, keeping everything feeling natural rather than forced. Matt used the time really well, didn’t drag the process out, and made the whole shoot genuinely enjoyable for all of us. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the photos."
