I'm Bridget Baker.  I specialise in creating beautiful family photographs for your home and your family, with pictures of your children, a gorgeous photograph of just the two of you, or a portrait of the whole family.  Even photographs for your business, upgrading your staff portraits and website.  Sports teams or Daycare's and Playcentres are sessions I also enjoy.

Jesse has a “Ganglioglioma” tumour in his brain stem.
This type of tumour is very rare; only occurring in about 1% of all brain tumours.
Prognosis is unknown, as this type of tumour is unpredictable. 

Jesse's parents continue to fundraise for Jesse's treatment which will be carried out in America as soon as they raise the first $100,000.  They need over $200,000 for the full treatment.  Unfortunately it can not be done in New Zealand. 

If there is any way you can contribute to Jesse's appeal, he will be one step closer to starting his much needed treatment. 

I was very blessed in meeting Jesse and his Mum and Dad during a Playcentre Fundraising Photo Session.  I got to know them very quickly and spent some enjoyable time with Jesse.  I gifted them their photo session and donated $100 to their appeal, I will continue to help them when I can with my photography and more donations.

My affordable portrait photographs are created using Auckland's beautiful outdoor light to its best effect to create natural photographs of you, your baby, children, your family, that will, in the years ahead, become priceless treasures to you and your loved ones.

I do not find any session a challenge and I have a lot of patience. I find children are a pleasure to work with and often I don't know who has more fun - them or me! You may also have to drag your man to the session, but he will walk away happy, my sessions are not stressful.  Most of all, I want you to be relaxed and enjoy your time with me so that I can truly capture those special moments.

Stuck for that special gift to give to your special person in your life.   Give them a photo session.  Something they can treasure forever.  You may even be part of the session!

I can print you a personalised gift voucher for the session that you want and present it in a 'Kete' flax bag.  Contact me for more details.  bridget@capturedbybridget.co.nz or 021 023 101 77

3rd February 2010

Hi Bridget,

I am just in the process of collating an album of all the wonderful photos you took of my children, and I wanted to thank you for your amazing work.

I have had photo sessions with other photographers/companies before and not purchased a single photo as I never felt that they were great photos, ok photos but not great.
And here I am after one session with you, compiling an album of the photos that you took, spoilt for choice.

I liked the way you spoke and interacted with my children, and they responded well to you. This shows in the photos. The children were just themselves, and the result is a collection of very natural and beautiful photos. You have captured them.

Thank you so much. We will see you in 6 months time for another session.
And I will be recommending you to my friends.

Kind regards,
Rachel McKenlay
