Family and newborn photography across New Zealand
Relaxed, real photography for families who hate posing
Your family doing what you do, printed and kept for generations. No posing required.
What if my kids won’t sit still?
Good. We don’t want them to. The best family photos happen when everyone stops trying. When your toddler runs off. When the baby grabs your nose. When the big kids start wrestling and everyone cracks up.
Every session is custom-planned around your family, your routine, and the places that mean something to you.

Common questions
Something else on your mind? Call 04 888 9870 or email hello@littlethingsphoto.co.nz.
What should we wear to a family photo session?
Whatever you feel good in. There’s no need for matching outfits or brand new clothes. Stick to soft, neutral tones and avoid large logos. The focus is your family.
How long is a family photography session?
Sessions run for 45 to 60 minutes. That gives us time to warm up, explore the location, and let the real moments happen.
What if my kids are having a meltdown?
We roll with it. Tantrums, tears, and snack breaks are all part of family life. Some of the best photos come from the messy, real moments. We never force anything.
Where do family sessions take place?
Anywhere your family loves: the beach, a bush walk, your backyard, a local park. We plan the location together based on your family’s personality and the age of your kids.
How much does a family photo session cost?
