Baby Ada Rose not even 24 hours old and finding her comfy spot next to mum and fitting in perfectly. I could have spent all day documenting this little family.

We only had a tiny window where we were in the same city to capture this glowing mama. Dramatic backgrounds, moody light and earthy tones bought the whole shoot together.

What I love more then anything is watching a family just be. No prompting, no posing, just watching and capturing the everyday.

Puheke beach has a quiet, solid strength about it, long white sandy beach bordered with incredibly wild back dunes. Couple this with incredible evening light and a family as cute as this one and its photography heaven.

How could you mind not be blown after witnessing such powerful determination and raw emotion. The energy in the room was so many things all at once, and I was engulfed by it. I'm still finding it hard to catch my breath.

Capturing anyones first pregnancy is a privilege but when its your little sister, looking this spectacular and taken at one of your childhood hangouts its pretty surreal.
