Hi, I’m Elyse

I’m a Wanaka maternity, newborn & family photographer living in Lake Hawea with my partner Alex, and his two boys, Alfie & Cooper.

A special memory of us as a new family of four on a hike to the top of Rocky Mountain, and a reminder that we could really do with some updated photos, the boys have changed before our eyes and we’ve aged a bit too!

Families describe me as friendly, down to earth, patient and professional.

When I’m not photographing families I love being out in the landscape with my camera. Find out more about me here.

I travel within Wanaka and beyond to capture all of your precious milestones from the beginning of growing your beautiful family.

You can view my services below which include mini session specials, maternity & couples portraits, in-home lifestyle newborn & family portraits and outdoor family portraits.

My collections page will tell you what to expect if you book a family portrait session with me.

You can also read my blog posts for some inspiration and to get a feel for my style.

My sessions are fun and relaxed and I’ve also got a knack for converting the most reluctant of models (usually the Dad’s).

I look forward to creating some special memories for your family around Wanaka, Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago.
