Because documentary photography is completely unposed, choosing a collection simply comes down to how much of your daily rhythm you want to preserve in your family history.

Here is how to find your perfect fit:

Choose "The Short Story" (2 Hours) if:

• You want to freeze a specific family ritual.  It is perfect for capturing a focused slice of your day—like baking together, a chaotic Saturday morning breakfast routine, or a trip down to your favourite local beach or park here on Waiheke.

• Your children are very young. Two hours is the ideal window for toddlers with shorter attention spans before they hit a wall or need a nap.

• You want to test the waters. If you love the idea of candid, real-life photography but aren't quite ready to commit to a half-day or full-day digital archive, this is the perfect introduction.

• Investment: $550 NZD (Digital Only)

Choose "The Storyteller" (Half-Day) if:

• You want to capture a major transition in your day.  Four to five hours allows me to document a beautiful shift in your daily routine—such as waking up and breakfast, followed by a relaxed afternoon island outing and the quiet wind-down back at home.

• You want the kids to completely forget the camera. It takes a little bit of time for children (and parents!) to stop performing for the lens. By hour two, the camera completely blends into the background, and the truly authentic, raw magic begins.

• You want a comprehensive storytelling gallery. This tier yields a massive digital collection (80+ images) giving you plenty of options if you choose to design a premium book later.

• Investment: $800 NZD (Digital Only)

Choose "A Day in the Life" (Full-Day) if:

• You are investing in a complete family legacy. This is a true sunrise-to-sunset digital time capsule. It captures the entire, uncompromised arc of your life right now—from the quiet, messy morning bed-head moments to the evening bath-time chaos and bedtime stories.

• You want to remember the layout of your home. Because I am with you all day, your completed gallery won’t just show your faces; it will document the exact rhythm of how you lived, played, and interacted inside your house during this season of life.

• You want the ultimate digital archive. This is designed for families who want zero compromise on their history, resulting in a definitive collection of 150+ masterfully corrected, high-resolution files.

• Investment: $1,500 NZD (Digital Only)

Choose "The Legacy Year" (Four-Session Collective) if:

• You are welcoming a newborn. This is the gold standard for your baby's first year. It seamlessly documents their rapid transformation across four distinct chapters (e.g., bringing them home, sitting up at 4 months, crawling at 8 months, and their 1st birthday party).

• You want to document your family through all four seasons on the island. If you love watching how your life changes from cozy winter days by the fireplace to summer afternoons running along Oneroa beach or exploring the local cafés, this lets you capture it all.

• You want a massive, complete chronological archive. Instead of forcing everything into one single day, this spreads the experience out over 12 months. All four chapters live together in one grand, private digital gallery.

• You want a head start on your physical memory book. While this is a digital-first package, it includes an exclusive $200 NZD print and album voucher, making it effortless to turn your year's journey into one of the The Classic Storybooks or lay-flat premium albums at the end of the year.

• Investment: $1,900 NZD
