Newborn photography

Auckland Newborn & Family Photographer

You’re already doing so much.
Let me make this part easy and meaningful.

Hi, I’m Alex, an Auckland-based Newborn and Family Photographer capturing timeless images from bump to baby and beyond. I offer a relaxed, guided experience where you can show up as you are and feel at ease, knowing your baby is safe in experienced, caring hands. Whether it’s the way they reach for your hand, melt into your chest, or giggle without holding back, these are the beautiful moments we’ll capture together. Because when you close your eyes and picture them… these are the memories you'll want to hold onto forever.

Photos are like little time capsules, holding on to the moments we never want to lose. They preserve emotions, connections, and experiences that words alone can’t fully capture. Each photo becomes a doorway back to our memories : keeping loved ones close and beautiful times alive.

I'm not just taking a photograph.
I'm freezing a moment in time that you can revisit again and again, forever.

Maternity

The beginning of your beautiful journey into Motherhood

Newborn

Because they’ll never be this tiny again

Baby

Chubby rolls, cheeky grins & all their big little milestones

Family

The chaos, the connection,
the love : just as you are.

Because some memories deserve to be time-stamped

01. Say Hello

Get in touch with the type of session you’re after and your ideal timing. For newborn shoots, I’ll note your due date so we can plan to book your session within the first two weeks after baby arrives.

The Process

I know booking a photoshoot can feel like a big decision, emotionally and financially.
Here’s what working with me will looks like:

02. Let's Plan It

We’ll chat via email or phone to talk through the details : date, timing, vibe, and everything in between. You’ll receive a session prep guide tailored to your shoot, plus wardrobe styling support so you feel confident and comfortable on the day.

04. Preview Gallery & Package Choice

A few days after your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery with a selection of unedited images. This is when you choose your favourites and select the package that best suits you. Once you've made your selection and completed payment (minus your $50 deposit), I’ll begin the editing process.

05. Final Gallery Delivery

Within three weeks of receiving your image selection, you’ll get your fully edited gallery — ready to download and cherish forever.

03. Shooting day

This is where the magic happens. I’ll gently guide you and your family with natural prompts so everyone feels relaxed and included, yes, even the reluctant ones! We’ll keep it baby-led, fun, and full of connection.

Thank you for your interest in Petite Olive Photography!

  • I cannot recommend Alex enough! She has been an integral part of capturing some of the most precious moments in our lives, from our engagement to maternity, newborn, and even Christmas shoots. Her talent and creativity shine through in every photo, and she has an incredible ability to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The newborn shoot was especially magical—she handled our little one with such care and patience, creating stunning images that we will treasure forever. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she has created for us and look forward to working with her again in the future!

  • I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful experience capturing this special time in my life. From the moment we started, Alex alias "Little Olive" made me feel completely comfortable, confident, and glowing — exactly how every mama-to-be should feel during a pregnancy shoot. The photos are not only stunning, but they truly reflect the emotion, love, and anticipation I felt as I waited to meet my baby. What makes her work even more special is the unique French touch she brings to every shot — so effortlessly elegant, timeless, and full of soul. I’ll treasure these images forever — they’re more than just photos, they’re a reminder of the strength, beauty, and joy of motherhood.

  • Alex is such a natural at bringing out the best in whoever she works with, especially the little ones and newborns. The photos are very high quality and dreamily capture those precious moments which we cherish every day as we’ve got some of them put up in our house. Highly recommend Alex for anyone who’s looking for a lovely person to work with and great photos!
