Honour the beauty of birth

Birth is raw, powerful, and fleeting. It is a story that deserves to be remembered with honesty, tenderness, and respect. I am now offering a very limited number of birth photography sessions for families who want their journey into parenthood documented in a quiet, unobtrusive, and deeply meaningful way.

This is more than photography, it is the quiet strength in your breath, the steady support of your partner, the first time you meet your baby. These moments pass in a blur, but they deserve to be held onto forever.

What’s Included

 

What’s Included in Your Birth Package:

  • On-call availability from 38 weeks until your baby arrives
  • Continuous coverage during active labour, birth, and the first moments after
  • A calm, respectful presence, documenting without interference
  • Carefully edited gallery of high-resolution images
  • Private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing
  • Sneak peek images within 48 hours

Full gallery delivered within 3–4 weeks


To continue telling your family’s story beyond birth, I offer a special bundle option for clients who book birth photography. When you book a birth session, you will receive a $200 credit to use toward any of the following sessions:

  • Maternity
  • Fresh 48 (captured within the first 48 hours after birth)
  • Newborn session

This allows you to document your journey from anticipation to those first quiet, love-filled days with your baby.

This credit is flexible and can be applied to one session of your choice, creating a seamless and meaningful storytelling experience across this transformative time.

Pricing


My Birth photography packages are

$1900


Because of the unpredictable nature of birth, I only take on a very small number of clients each month to ensure I can fully commit to being there for you.

A non-refundable retainer of $500 secures your due date, with the balance due by 36 weeks.

I just want to Thank Adele for the two beautiful photo shoots we have had. Maternity and Newborn. The photo's are absolutely stunning and couldn't be any happier with them! Adele made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the whole experience (especially the newborn shoot, I was confident with everything she was doing). I would definitely recommend to anyone that is wanting any type of professional photos done, Adele is a perfectionist x

My husband and I had a maternity shoot with Adele down at the beach in Papamoa. The photos she captured are absolutely incredible! I'm not a natural in front of the camera, but Adele made me feel at ease. She has a real talent for working with natural light and capturing genuine moments. The photos she took are timeless and something I will always treasure. I 100% recommend Adele to anyone looking for a photographer who combines professionalism with creativity so wonderfully.

Working with Adele was amazing! I was totally out of my comfort zone but seeing Adele thrive and how excited she was about the moments she was capturing made me feel like a queen. eased all my worries very quickly and after seeing the final products, I can see why she was so excited! The feedback I got has been crazy! All in all Adele has a magical eye for these magical moments, highly recommend xox
