Life with kids is crazy, chaotic & messy — and that’s exactly what makes it beautiful.
I've been there and am through the other side. And believe me, there's nothing you'll treasure more when they leave home, than the photos we take today.

STUNNING ALBUMS & FRAMES
DISPLAY YOUR MEMORIES
Enjoy your photos every day in a stunning collage frame or in a gallery style arrangement on the wall. And if you love all your photos, let's create a stunning album so you can always look back on them with pleasure.
Here's a few ideas of what we can create for you to enjoy your photos every day.
playtime at the beach
FAMILIES AT THE BEACH
The beach is the perfect place for family photos regardless of what age your kids are. From tots to teens everyone seems to relax when their toes hit the sand.
I love to shoot at Matapouri, Ocean Beach, Patau North or Waipu Cove, but we can shoot wherever your happy place is.

casual & chilled
Don't forget that older kids love the beach too and just like the rest of us, I find they are so much more relaxed there! The Cross family opted for a cool and casual denim look which matched their family vibe to a tee!
From this session, the Cross family chose a beautiful 10 image Wall Collage and we had it framed in a light, natural oak to really show off the beachy images.

BOHO VIBES IN LATE SUMMER
The Bowden family and their three gorgeous boys spent an energetic hour on the beach at Matapouri for their family session. This boho dress from my client wardrobe had Deborah feeling and looking just beautiful.
With 3 very active kids, we had a ball with the kids climbing, exploring and having fun with Mum and Dad to create special memories for their album.

Katherine is wearing a gorgeous vintage inspired dress with romantic poet sleeves, from my client wardrobe for her family's session.
It was the perfect way to add just a little bit of romance into their photos for a Mum who is usually surrounded by crazy, loud and energetic boys.

Your WHANGAREI FAMILY Photography
In an age where we can capture every moment on our phone, professional photos give you something your phone just can't! And that is beautiful, natural photos with you in them!
As a Mum who takes all the family photos, you probably have lots with your other half and of your kids. But how will your children know that Mum was there too, if you are never in the photos? I love to capture beautiful natural photos of you and your family together, that you will love to print in an album or frame on the wall so you can enjoy them for many years to come. Treat yourself and your family today, before the next stage of childhood passes you by.
HOLD ON TO THE TINY MOMENTS AND CHERISH EVERY LITTLE SNUGGLE...THEY GROW UP SO FAST!
Jump onto the contact form and let me know a little bit about what you are after for your session. If you have a date in mind you can pop that in there too.
I will send you a Full Session Guide and Info Pack which goes over all the ways I work with you, to have you feeling relaxed and confident for your session.
It includes packages and pricing, plus a look at some of the beautiful printed products I can also arrange for you.
1. Say Hello
Once you have decided you would like to go ahead and book in your session, let me know via email and we'll get things moving. We'll get a date confirmed and then I will invoice you for your Session Fee. Once that's paid, I will be in touch to book in your Zoom Planning Call.
This is a quick 30 min session to answer any questions you have and chat about what you are all going to wear. We'll also confirm the time and location for your session. We'll talk about what you would like to do with your images once we have captured them and make a plan around which package suits you best.
Busy Mums love these sessions for giving them the confidence to work out what everyone will wear. And it gives us a chance to "meet" so you feel way more relaxed when we meet in person at the beach for your session.
2. let's plan your session
3. AFTER YOUR ZOOM PLANNING session
You’ll receive an invoice for the package that you have chosen. This is due for payment 10 days before your session.
Then a week out, I will be in touch to remind you of your session time, location and what to bring. And I can help via text if you need any last minute advice on outfit combinations.
I will contact you on the morning of the shoot via text just to check in and we can make sure everything is good to go with the weather. (Because you know what Northland weather is like!)
Then it's time to have some fun and enjoy a relaxed hour on the beach with your family. I will guide you through the whole session so there's no need to worry about how to pose or getting the kids to look at the camera - that's all on me!
4. PHOTO SHOOT TIME
Approx 3 weeks after your session, your gallery of gorgeous memories will be delivered to you via an online gallery.
You’ll be able to download your print and social media sized sets of digital images from this gallery.
5. ONLINE GALLERY DELIVERY
If you love more images than you have in the package you initially chose, then upgrades are available directly from within your gallery.
You’ll also be able to order gift prints from my professional print lab, directly from your gallery. This way you can feel confident that the quality of them will be perfect!
6. GALLERY upgrades
If you have chosen a collage frame, a wall gallery or an album, you have the option of visiting my home studio for a complimentary session to get everything organised.
I have sample frames and albums for you to look and we can chat about any tweaks you’d like made to edits before we send them to production..

We have had the pleasure of working with Tracey twice now and couldn’t recommend her enough!
She has captured the most stunning family shots of us on the beach and her expert kiddie and toddler wrangling skills were a testament to the results.
She also captured us when we became a family of five recently. Tracey made us feel relaxed and at ease while she went about capturing our newborn and family photos at her in-home studio. The results were stunning and we are so happy we chose Tracey to capture these special moments.
Thanks Tracey, we’ll be back 😊 The Bond family x

Tracey captured so many beautiful photos of myself and my son. She was such a delight to work with, and has the best attention to detail and calm and collected with a busy boy.
She really engaged with my son and had him laughing and playing, which created beautiful natural photos of us together.
We had the best time and have so many beautiful images of us together ❤️ thank you Tracey

Tracey captured our family so beautifully! She made the process of getting family photos so comfortable, from the zoom calls to plan, through to the photo session.
We really enjoyed our photo session, with Tracey aided by her great assistant, who was able to hold our little one while we got some nice couple photos.
The kids were entirely comfortable, and Tracey made it feel like we were in the company of old friends.
Then, to top it off, Tracey presented us with an amazing gallery (and an album) of special photos that we will cherish for a long time.

My family has now been photographed by Tracey 3 different times now for a birthday, wedding and now an engagement shoot for my partner and I. Everytime our dreams have become a reality and expectations are exceeded!
Tracey makes the whole process so seamless and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera!
We couldn’t recommend Tracey more and will definitely be choosing her to photograph any of our upcoming events!

We have the most beautiful family photos thanks to Tracey.
Tracey's support through the whole process is professional and incredibly helpful.
Tracey is warm and friendly and my 4 year old son enjoyed coming up with some cheeky antics with Tracey to get some fun photos.
I highly recommend Tracey and proudly display our photos on the walls of our house.

Oh I am bawling my eyes out over here Tracey. How am I meant to pick when you've done such an incredible job. I am so so thankful, you have no idea how precious these are!
The photos speak for themselves but your talent goes beyond measure, an absolute star! Your patience and gentle nature with the kids was incredible.
With the recent unfortunate changes in our world, these photos are something we can treasure forever - something to make our house a home.

We had such a lovely evening at the beach with Tracey.
She made us feel relaxed and at ease and went with the flow to capture some precious moments for us.
Tracey really appreciates all the little things that make family life so special and goes above and beyond to find out a bit about your family.
The gorgeous dress was so fun to wear.

We have had the best experience with Tracey taking photos of our family... from the initial consultation right through to selecting which photos to choose and how to display them, she guided us through with her beautiful manner, using her knowledge and experience along with patience (which was needed with me! 😂)
We are so very happy with the final result and would highly recommend her.
Thank you Tracey ❤️

They say never work with Kids or animals, but Tracey has proved she can do both, with amazing results and memories!
An hour on the beach spending time with my family, with Tracey capturing every moment. Tracey made it fun and easy, directing our camera shy family, with fantastic images to treasure.
I would recommend Tracey to everyone, she does a wonderful job in capturing the essence and thinks about every aspect of a photograph - from styling to destination to posing - you just need to follow her lead and smile, she'll do the rest - with amazing photos to keep ❤️
Thank you Tracey for making me feel like a Princess in the beautiful dress you have for your photoshoots, and for our beautiful family photos 💕

Tracey is efficient, easy to talk with and relaxed.
Her pre photo session guidance and instructions throughout the photo shoot produced a great product.
We were wonderfully managed - humans and groomed dog alike -in the beachy outdoors and everyone really enjoyed our experience.
It’s not easy getting all eyes focused on the camera with seagulls and waves to be caught in the fading evening light! But Tracey did it ….. nailed it … and has produced for us a beautiful 10 photo montage frame.
Thanks heaps Tracey - love your work!

We had such a great experience with Tracey.
Not only are the photos she took of our family absolutely gorgeous, but her professionalism and communication were outstanding from beginning to end.
We couldn't be happier!
Tracey is an absolute gem!
She was so calm and relaxed when taking our family photos that the kids were super chill in front of the camera. She did an amazing job of wrangling 3 under 9 years, and was able to go with the flow even thru tantrums and tears from falling over. The photos she took really captured the love and craziness of our wee family.
She even took some stunning couple pics of me and my husband that I adore I would recommend Tracey in a heartbeat. Kids grow so fast; if you are considering getting some family photos done with Tracey, please do it!!.

Thank you Tracey for such an amazing photoshoot. You understood what we were after! You manged to capture the magic for us even though the skies didn’t deliver the sunset light we would have liked. It really didn’t matter in the end because the album is absolutely stunning.
Tracey was amazing to work with during the shoot and in the month afterwards while I procrastinated and took my time over all the amazing photos to choose from!! You made the process easy for me and we couldn’t be more over the moon with our keepsake album.
Thanks again and I can highly recommend working with Tracey Morris Photography.
