PHOTOSHOOTS

FOR COUPLES & EXPECTING PARENTS

A couples photoshoot is your excuse to ditch selfies and let someone else do the work. It’s not about posing perfectly, it’s about catching the way you look at each other when you think no one’s watching.

And if you are mum-to-be, the photoshoot is extra sentimental, because your baby will be in your belly just for a very short moment. Celebrate that moment with a picture!

Whether it’s on the beach or tucked away in the bush, Auckland has the perfect backdrop for any occasion. You’ll get photos that feel natural, a bit cheeky, and very much yours.

PHOTOSHOOT PACKAGES

for couples & maternity

MINI

Happy couple embracing on a city rooftop, with tall buildings in the background.

  • This session is short and sweet. Perfect if you’re after a few beautiful portraits and you’re a bit tight on time. We’ll still create something meaningful and intentional (just in a more focused window). Great also for maternity.

CLASSIC

  • This session gives us more space to settle in. From experience, it usually takes about 15 minutes for most people to relax into the idea of being photographed (that’s completely normal). With the extra time, we can ease into it, explore more movement, deeper emotional flow, or even change outfits if you’d like. If you’re after variety or a slower pace, this one's for you. Great also for maternity.

    — 1hr session held at my local beach or park (North Shore)

    — All the best images from your session (usually between 70-100 images)

I also offer a print shop within your gallery, so if you do decide to print your precious photos (and I think you should), I edit in soft, earthy tones with a natural finish that looks beautiful in print and brings a sense of calm to your home. But you also will get a set of black&white for more options.

Most of my sessions take place on the beaches of Auckland’s North Shore with accessible parking. Travel fee applies if outside North Shore location.

KIND WORDS FROM MY COUPLES AND MUMS TO BE

  • A woman in a white dress smiles while leaning on a man in a brown shirt, standing outdoors with trees in the background.

    “Working with Irena was an experience we'll never forget. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship the wild playfulness and the quiet, intimate moments was nothing short of magical.

    During our first shoot, she encouraged us to embrace spontaneity, capturing us laughing and moving freely in the sun. Each shot felt like a true reflection of us, captured with heart and authenticity.

    We couldn’t be happier with the beautifully edited photos Irena delivered. Each image is a piece of art, enhanced with just the right touch to make every detail shine.

    She went above and beyond, capturing far more moments than we ever expected, each one reflecting her exceptional talent and eye for detail. Her dedication to getting the perfect shots made us feel truly valued, and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully.

    Thank you, Irena, for capturing these beautiful memories. They’ll be cherished forever.”

    NICOLE & HENDRIK

  • A couple standing outdoors, embracing and kissing, with a man holding a baby in his arms. The woman is wearing a green dress, while the man is in a white shirt. Rocky background.

    “Thank you for all the captures, we are so grateful to you. You are an amazing person with amazing skill set.

    From maternity session to newborn session and then Mother’s Day and family session you have been so corporative since day one. We just can’t get over how professional the photos turned out.

    We were always thoughtful of how session is going to be, you made us so comfortable and amazed us with the end result. The sessions went so flawless, we love how you make the sessions so relaxed and fun.

    We just love your photography! Looking forward to have another session with you super soon.”

    GAMAK & BHAVESH

  • A happy couple embracing on a beach, both wearing white, with the ocean and trees in the background under a cloudy sky.

    “My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Irena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!

    From the start, Irena was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about capturing the perfect shots. She has a remarkable eye for detail and an ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    The photos turned out absolutely stunning, with every shot reflecting the mood, emotion and playfulness of the moment. The editing was flawless and added just the right touch of vibrancy without looking overdone.

    I highly recommend Irena to anyone looking for a skilled and creative photographer who truly cares about their clients and their work.

    I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

    ANKITA & PRATIK

  • A couple embracing outdoors under a tree, with a white cloth hanging behind them.

    “Absolutely speechless upon seeing our beautiful gallery from the maternity photoshoot!

    Irena is extremely friendly and asked if we had any specific shots, or shoot locations in mind. We left it completely up to her and that was the best decision ever! Sunrise photoshoot at the beach can be tricky with the tide timings…but she took charge and followed up until the very last evening before the shoot to make sure we get there at the right time, for the best shots!

    Thank you for being so professional, yet friendly, and making me feel gorgeous!

    Looking forward to our newborn shoot next!”

    ISHITA & ANIRUDH

  • Couple sitting on grassy sand dunes at a beach with rocky hills in the background under a cloudy sky.

    “Irena took photos of myself and my partner. It was my partners first photoshoot and Irena was excellent in assisting us from preparation (clothes, make up, jewellery, hair etc) through to picking a wonderful location at a time convenient for us yet perfect for our photos making them far better than we could of wished for.

    I cannot compliment Irena’s direction and professionalism enough either.

    We loved working with her and won’t work with anyone else now.”

    MADISON & BRADEN

  • Engaged couple on a beach during sunset in Auckland.

    “Irena was honestly the perfect photographer. This was the first photoshoot both myself and my fiancé had done and right away Irena made us comfortable going into it.

    Irena made the whole process fun and you could tell how dedicated she was to getting the perfect photos. Irena kept things light and playful but still got some poses in that we think really captured what we were looking for.

    The photos came back great and they came back to us so quickly.

    If Irena did weddings we would ask her to be our photographer based on this experience. Couldn't recommend her more!”

    JOANNA & JONATHAN

  • A couple standing near beach, the woman holds an ultrasound image, indicating pregnancy, while the man embraces her from behind.

    “Irena is an exceptionally talented photographer! After discovering her captivating photography style on Instagram, we selected her for our maternity photoshoot.

    Her passion for her craft and dedication to providing the best experience shines through. Despite our initial camera shyness, she effortlessly put us at ease, capturing our genuine and comfortable moments.

    We highly recommend her and eagerly anticipate our family photoshoot with her!”
