About Paper and Pearl Photography style: Capturing authentic moments and connections, using natural light and surroundings with a relaxed and creative photographic style.

Location... where will you photograph us for a family session? Photography sessions can take place at your home (best for newborn sessions) or a chosen outdoor location. We can discuss location options when you get in touch.

What time of day will you photograph us? Outdoor location sessions are best leading up to sunset. Indoor photography sessions (at your home) are best during the day. 

How long will the shoot take? The timeframes stated are a guide and aim to give us enough time to capture moments naturally so you don’t feel posed or rushed. 

What should we wear? Something you feel great in. Avoid clothing with large text or obvious pictures on them as these detract from your faces (pattern is fine). Earthy colours, muted tones and white photograph well. If you are a family group, try not to wear clashing colours or be totally matching. Just go for a similar vibe. NB Bring something warm for outdoor photoshoots.

What happens if it rains? Stormy skies look great on camera and a drizzle is ok, but if the rain is torrential, we will make a weather call prior to the shoot and find an alternate date.

Do you offer enlarged printing and framing services? I work with Queensberry - Professional Print Lab, for enlargements and framing. If you are interested in having any of the images from your photography session printed larger, I can provide you with a custom quote.

Do you do ‘touch ups’ or enhancements during editing? The majority of post production is for the overall look of the image. Each image is colour graded and optimised for the captured lighting conditions. No background replacements or clear cutting. I can spot remove a pimple but I don’t edit body features or shape.

Do you charge for travel? No travel charge for photography sessions in Tauranga/ Mount/ Papamoa areas. Some travel will be charged for areas further afield. - I can confirm any travel charges with you when you enquire.
