FAMILIES

When was the last time you had professional BUT natural photos taken? Now is the time.

Think of this session as a relaxing time with your family but getting it documented by a photographer. I work well with knowing when to get you organised for the 'posed' family shots and then guide you for capturing the fun you have as a family, making sure the children are enjoying themselves and making them feel special getting their photos taken. Having 2 boys myself and photographing at daycares and playcentres, working under time pressure, I have learnt to connect with children, gain their trust and in return I get lovely images of your children. I have many families that have had me a few times now and the children are stars at getting their photos taken. 

You will recieve around 100 - 300 images (depending on family size), all in high resolution, including an assortment of Black & White, and a few specially edited images. You are able to print the photos in your own time and pay affordable prices. You can pay around $25 for a top quality 8x12 print* instead of over $100 from other photographers. I use Milford Print at 164 Kitchener Road, Milford 

This is a 1 hour session for 1 family only and it is at a location of your choice. My office is not suitable for family photography, but I am able to bring a backdrop to your home and can photograph a family of 2 adults & 2 or 3 small children in studio style. I do have to charge for travel/time costs if the session is outside of the North Shore area. I will advise this at the time of the booking. 

If you only want photos taken of your children, please let me know and I will work out a price for you. Please let me know what you would like to get out of the session. 

If you want to combine a few families together for a photo session, these do take longer at the session and I do have to charge the rate of 2 sessions at the most but can discuss this at the time of booking.

If you are celebrating a birthday or a special occasion, I charge an extra $100 for these sessions and for no more than 2 hours in total. 

You don't need to pay for your session until your photos are ready. My aim is to keep my sessions affordable so you are able to update your photos every year or two.

From time to time I like to update my website with photos I have taken. If you do not wish to have your photos on my website, please let me know as I like to respect your privacy

You can pay your photo session off... once it is paid off, you will get your photos :-)

I believe a photography package should be affordable with no additional costs. I give all my clients a USB stick of all their photos in high resolution so you are able to use your photos in any way you choose.

Sessions are at a location of your choice and my prices include travel within the North Shore City area but I am happy to travel outside of this area, I will let you know of the extra cost at the time of booking your session. 

I photograph anywhere in the greater Auckland.All you pay is the amount stated on the package (plus travel as stated above) You don't have to order your photos and you don't have to pay huge amounts for a couple of prints.

It takes around 4 weeks for you to get your photos (up to 6 weeks during November - May).  I send the package to you on a USB or Dropbox, or if you are local we can organise a pick up.

Testimonials

HI Bridget
Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I LOVE the photos you have taken of our family!!
They are just fantastic, better than I had imagined and you have done such an amazing job of "capturing" Abby and Devin's personalities.
They are not photogenic kids AT ALL and HATE having their picture taken but you still managed to get some absolutely amazing shots and I just can't wait to get them printed.
You really have an amazing talent not only in taking the pictures but in "getting the shot" - connecting with us and the kids and understanding personalities and getting people to warm to you.
I cannot believe the pictures of Jeremy, he LOATHES having his picture taken and I was completely stunned with the shots you have of him! Totally lost for words!!!
Thanks you so much for making it such a fun experience, we will really treasure these memories you have made for us!!
Thanks again
Melissa

Kind words from an amazing Mum (and Dad) of 6 children

Hi Bridget

The photos are absolutely brilliant, and we are so delighted. We've already shown anyone and everyone!!! We feel so thrilled, and very grateful for the wonderful efforts you went to. I can't tell you how rapt we are, they're terrific. Everyone has commented on how natural and what wonderful composition there is to the shots you've taken, and how well you have captured us all - and especially when there's so many of us!!! Honestly, you were so relaxed and good humoured about tackling our crowd! What an accomplishment! 

I hope (and I feel certain) you will get some new enquiries and bookings, as we feel you have such a talent, and a genuine gift of producing such treasured pictures, that are so precious and will bring endless joy. We will certainly get a lot of pleasure from our collection of beautiful family photos.

Many thanks for the awesome job you did for us, and for making it such fun too. You made a potentially awkward family "sitting" a very happy and fun experience. You're such a gem,

Vicki

"Any nervousness we had about having our pictures taken, was quickly dismissed as Bridget was very easygoing and down-to-earth during the photo shoot. The result was stunning images that are natural yet professional. The prints have pride of place in our living room and we enjoy looking at them every single day. A real bonus is having these presented to us on a disk which made it very easy to email and share with family overseas. Thank you Bridget for a job well done".
