What other parents have to say....
Thank you so much Belinda for the absolutely stunning photos of our daughter Carly. I was so impressed with your patience and attention to detail, and how wonderfully you handled Carly throughout the shoot, keeping her perfectly comfortable and happy. I love that all the shoots I have seen include some unique shots of each baby that really reflect their individuality. We will treasure these photos which perfectly capture that precious start to life. We also loved the birth announcement you put together for us, it gives us a beautiful way to say thank you to friends and family. I will absolutely be recommending you to others and can't wait to see more of your stunning work. Thanks again :-) Jo Sanders
On 21/6/12 our 8 month old son passed away from brain cancer. Before he passed away, we found out we were expecting our third baby. The emotions surrounding our daughter’s birth were ones of excitement and joy but also worry and nervousness. We wanted to capture those magical first moments of her life, knowing too well how precious life is and how quickly it can change. Belinda was amazing. The talent, patience, flexibility, creativity, love and understanding she showed us was just unreal and something we are so appreciative of. Our photos have blown away not only us, but our family and friends too… they will be treasured forever! We could not have chosen a better person to share these special times with and we can’t wait to capture another step in our family’s journey with Belinda ☺ Such a BIG Thank you Belinda from our little family x Kirstin
Belinda is absolutely amazing! She captured the most precious images of our newborn twins and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Belinda provided us with the most beautiful family photos that I treasure - she even did the almost impossible and got amazing photos of all 4 of our children together! To make it even better, Belinda's prices are very reasonable. Best decision we ever made :)

Hi Belinda. Thanks SO much for coming to our house to take the lifestyle photos. You were so professional and patient with my wee girls. Your creativity has resulted in us receiving the most amazing photos of Florence and Violet. So thank you again. I'm happy to recommend you to anyone :)

Belinda - thank you so much for being at the birth of my first daughter and capturing an amazing record of the occasion. I felt totally comfortable with you being there and most of the time I didn't even notice you working your magic. To anyone considering having Belinda as their birth photographer I highly recommend you don't hesitate in booking her in. She came to the hospital as soon as we got there and stayed with us all afternoon and night. She edited and put together our slideshow within the week and it is incredible to have such an amazing record of something that would otherwise be a blurry memory. I am so grateful to her for her natural talent and dedication to photography story-telling. Belinda also did a newborn photo shoot for us, which went so smoothly as she provided a very amiable environment for both myself and my baby, and I felt totally at ease handing my new baby over to her as she created some very cute images. Again, I would highly recommend that if you are considering a newborn photo shoot to book Belinda in as soon as possible :) a decision you won't regret!

Firstly, thank you Belinda for the fantastic photos of our new little baby boy. We were unsure if he would settle as he was 11 days old (so at the end of the ‘sleepy baby’ stage) but Belinda was fantastic with him, very calming and gentle, with the end result of some stunning photos. We would highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking for new born photos.

The photos Belinda took of our daughter are now among our most treasured possessions. She is wonderfully talented, has an amazing eye for capturing the beauty of a moment, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout our entire experience. We will always be grateful for her kindness and the very special memories she captured for us to keep forever.
Belinda was our birth photographer at the birth of our second baby. I have been meaning to write a testimonial for three months now (sorry Belinda!) but it is hard to sum up what it really means to have those precious memories of our son's birth captured forever. I contacted Belinda early in my pregnancy and despite our constantly changing plans she remained friendly, flexible and reassuring. When we met in person she was just lovely and immediately put our family at ease. As a parent herself we knew she "got it" when it came to kids and birth! Our birth also didn't go to plan but again, nothing was a problem and Belinda was very calm and discreet. In fact, I only remember her saying a quick hello and then having another chat afterwards as she left - of course she was there the whole time but so unobtrusive. The photos themselves I have shed tears over many times. Happy ones, I should add ;) It is amazing to have this record of the day and the beautiful photos she took also highlight the good points in a difficult labour - ie the parts I would rather remember. I have showed our birth slideshow to many people, the photos are all tasteful with no nudity and it is a very special way of sharing the birth with others while still keeping the actual event private. Many of our friends were skeptical about the idea of having a birth photographer at their own births but everyone who has seen our slideshow has said they would strongly consider a birth photographer for their next baby. I can't say enough good things about Belinda. She is professional yet the kind of person you'd want as a friend. Her photos were touching, honest and intimate. We feel so lucky to have had her there and would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone considering a birth photographer in Wellington.

We had booked a newborn shoot with Belinda then birth photography was mentioned. Watching a video of birth photography that Belinda sent to me, I was then keen but hubby was not so much, he was rather sceptical, but with a couple of months of thinking and having a good chat to Belinda we decided to go ahead, even though hubby was still not 100%. This is now the BEST decision we ever made, Belinda was so professional and encouraging during it all, and she captured the most beautiful shots. Looking back at the photos and the slideshow (which brought my hubby to tears), best decision we made, something that we will all look back on in years to come. Then less than a week later we went for our newborn shoot. Cooper was not wanting to sleep, and this made things not so easy, but Belinda was so professional and clam and the photos we got were AMAZING, ones that we will treasure forever. We would highly recommend Belinda to all, she is amazing at what she does and at capturing great photos and most important to all new parents was so gentle and fantastic with our darling wee man. Thank you Belinda from our family, we are so happy with everything you have done, and LOVE all the photos.
Alana and Stu
Hi Belinda, thank you so much for the gorgeous photos of Cooper. You captured his personality perfectly and I really appreciate the time you spent making Cooper feel comfortable with you - it really shows through in the pictures. Cooper had a great time running around and laughing with you.
Suzanne & Family
Thank you Belinda for taking such beautiful photos of Luca. You were so great with him and made it such a peaceful, enjoyable experience. We were very lucky to have both Studio and In Hospital photos done (which my mum told me was not available to her when me and my sisters were born). We now have gorgeous photos of Luca's early days to keep and treasure forever. I would highly recommend you to others Belinda, you do fantastic work. Thank you again.
Kimi And Dylan
Belinda was absolutely amazing with our wee girl. She was so patient and she instantly calmed our unsettled baby and captured some great shots. She has a very special touch! We love our album.
Sally And Family
Thank you Belinda for our fabulous Photo shoot and our Gorgeous Announcement cards, They will be flying their way to the UK very soon.
Clare & Family
Our family photo shoot with Belinda was so relaxed and easy! She is a natural at engaging kids and keeping them interested. At our session our 8 month old was teething and tired but you would never know it from the pictures. We love the photos Belinda took of our family and are currently getting a couple printed for the wall.
Amy & Joe
Thank you Belinda for both of my photo shoots, in hospital shoot and our 6day old shoot.
You are amazing at what you do. I am extremely happy with the photos. You have made that special time with our son Cody memorable.
Thanks again , Highly recomended
Fiona and Chris
Belinda has an amazing ability to produce adorable photos of new borns. I love the selection she took of sleepy state, awake with colour and some family shots. Belinda is passionate about her job and is professional. Would recommend her to friends/family.

From the moment we walked in the door Belinda made us feel really comfortable. The way she dealt with our daughter was very professional yet caring. The atmosphere she created in her home was welcoming
and calming particularly for a newborn baby. When taking the photos Belinda always asked for our feedback and she was very open to suggestions. The photos that we received were absolutely stunning and were a real credit to her. I would highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking for some personal photos of their newborn child.
Sasha and Chris

Joe and I are very proud of each photo and have had very good feedback from our friends and family as well.

I cannot think of enough positive things to say about Belinda! She came around to our house when my daughter was 4 days old to take photos! Her calm manor and patience far exceeded any expectations that I had! She had such a natural touch when settling Mackenzie! Thank you, thank you, thank you for capturing these beautiful photos of my daughter!
Molly And Family
Hi Belinda,
I would just like to thank you for the lovely photo's you took of our new baby boy and 2yr old daughter, they were amazing. You were very gentle and comforting with my little man getting him ready for the poses and it showed on all the photo's!
Thanks again
Lindy & Jeremy
Belinda was fantastic with my newborn, she set up a wonderful safe womb like environment. She was great at handling baby but more importantly she captured the looks that are unique to each baby perfectly. Well done and thanks.
