your photographer

Throughout my journey in photography I've become a mother to three beautiful kids, they all came into the world very differently, one boy (August) and two girls (Dakota + Alaska). I've felt the overwhelming feeling of joy becoming a parent, I've walked the sleepless nights and felt all the emotions that raising children brings. I've loved hard and also felt the heavy heartache of losing loved ones.

Ever since I can remember I've admired natural light, art and witnessing a beautiful connection between people.

It's the beauty amongst the chaos that I adore.
 
I'm here to tell your story through my lens... from the forbidden moments of running on a table and jumping on the couch, to little nose-pickers, booty shakers and the garden sprinkler runners. As a mother I'm also drawn to nostalgic moments such as honest precious memories of breastfeeding, slow but playful kitchen sways, holding your little ones, mornings spent sipping on cold coffee, tiny features like squishy rolls. along with cosy cuddles and of course lots of kisses.

I'm a hopeless romantic, sunset lover, plant collector, all day coffee drinker, mother, daughter, wife, sister & photographer.

This is me.

FRAMES OF FEELINGS

FRAMES OF FEELINGS

“if I choose to always grow,
maybe she will bloom like a wildflower.
if I make art from my everyday,
she too, will create her days full of colour.
if I let my tears fall and always when they need,
perhaps she’ll water the earth with an open heart. ”

STORIES

We can be awkward in front of the camera - but with Kirsty we felt so comfortable and relaxed. She captured our little whānau so beautifully and I feel so grateful to have the precious memories captured for years to come.

As a family of 7, I thought it would be hard to capture moments of all of us.... Kirst nailed every single shot, made us all feel comfortable, and was so accommodating to our 5 children.

Alexis Turnbull

We have had Kirsty capture snapshots of our family 4 times now and counting. Kirsty knows how to channel the energy of our young children, and convert that into beautiful images to treasure for the rest of our lives.

ESTHER KERN

We feel very fortunate to have had Kirsty come to our home to capture our family. While nervous beforehand, she immediately made us feel at ease. The photos reflect this and are better than we could have hoped.

ANNABEL HARRIS

Kirsty took photos of my son's birth, they are so special to us and she so beautifully captured a life changing event for us. We are so excited to have her take more family photos soon.

AMY PETERSON

Kirsty is such an incredible photographer and storyteller who has photographed my son's birth, my daughter's maternity photos and a mini family shoot.
Memories that I will put on my walls forever.
