Hi! I'm Merrin, a photographer working out of my beautiful big studio space near Waitarere Beach in Manawatu. I've been photographing newborn and small babies for the last 15 years and they're my absolute favourite pictures to take. Mostly because I absolutely love newborns. So much I had five of my own! I also take photos of pregnancy, birth and those fresh first days of parenthood. And even the full family photos we all forget to take as the kids get older! My goal is to make sure you have a relaxed and positive experience, no matter what photos we're taking. And leave you with those ever-lasting memories in photo form.

PREGNANCY
Our bodies are incredible! There’s literally a human growing inside you! Capture this special time in your life to look back on for years to come.
-
BIRTH & FIRST MOMENTS
Whether you birth at home or hospital, I can help you make sure nothing is missed during an unforgettable moment bringing new life to the world.

NEWBORN
The thought of getting newborn photos can be overwhelming in those first days of parenthood. Come and relax in my studio while I make the magic happen

OLDER KIDS AND FAMILY
It’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and forget to take a moment to photograph our families as the days, weeks and years tick by. Don’t miss those moments!
