Auckland Family Photography

Authentic, carefree, and beautifully unscripted sessions

Family Photography that captures real moments that matter

Family life is full of laughter, curiosity, and little everyday moments that make your family unique. I love photographing families in a relaxed, natural way, capturing the joy, connection, and quirks that make your family yours.

As a mum of two little girls, I know how quickly they grow and change. That’s why every session is designed to be an enjoyable experience where you can play, laugh, and be yourselves, while I create images you’ll treasure for a lifetime. I only take on a limited number of sessions each month so that every family gets my full attention and care.

Sessions start at $490, and include beautifully edited images that become lasting family keepsakes.

I’d love to help you capture your family exactly as you are, in a way that feels relaxed, real, and completely unforgettable.

“We are so grateful that Alicja was able to photograph our small family. She was exceptionally professional but so warm and friendly with our 2 year old son. The session felt effortless and we were all so comfortable we really forgot that we were having our photos taken. Alicja was quick to respond to correspondence and very thoughtful and thorough in her approach. We will look forward to booking her again in the future!”

— Thomas, Auckland

“Alicja did a family session for us during our recent trip to New Zealand and we couldnt be happier with her work! She was great to work with, was prompt in communication, great with kids, and has a great eye for details! She captured memories from our trip beautifully and suggested the best shoot locations in the Auckland area which was very helpful since we were new to the area. I highly recommend her for capturing memories with your family- her photos are timeless and precious!”

A session with me is more than just taking photos—it’s about capturing your family being exactly who you are. Before your session, we’ll chat about what feels natural for your family, locations that suit your style, and the moments you want to remember most.

On the day, I guide gently when needed, but mostly I focus on photographing the laughter, the hugs, the little gestures, and the genuine connections that make your family unique. I want the session to feel relaxed and fun, so everyone enjoys the experience and can be themselves.

A couple of weeks after your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of fully edited images. You can download, print, or share them, and each photo will help you relive those special moments for years to come.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FAMILY SHOOT

I’m always looking for new ways to capture the moments that matter for growing families. I photograph sessions in Auckland, Muriwai, Piha, Omaha, Orewa, Cornwall Park, and beyond, wherever your story feels most at home.

Take a look at my blog for real-life sessions, location ideas, and tips to make your own family photoshoot relaxed, fun, and full of genuine moments.

FAQ

  • Every session is unique and I will work with you to find the best suited location to you and your family.

  • I allow 60-90min for family photoshoots and 2-3hours for newborn photography. I never rush it and understand that working with kids can be unpredictable and I’m happy to take drink and snack breaks if needed.

  • Once you have booked your session you will receive a link to a styling and session guide that will help to dress the whole family and prepare you for the shoot.

  • If you are unwell for your session please let me know as early as possible. If you or your little one is unwell we can reschedule for another day, no problem. Please give as much notice as possible. If rescheduling with less than 24hrs notice a rescheduling fee may apply.

  • If the weather isn’t favourable, it is best to reschedule and I’ll reach out with some options. Typically we wait until the day of the shoot to determine if a reschedule is needed, as weather can change suddenly.

  • No. I spend a lot of time editing your images to make them look beautiful and with an artistic and cohesive look to them. I do not make people look different / skinnier / smoothen skin / alter appearances.

  • Absolutely! Dogs are always welcome at my family photo sessions. Just let me know beforehand and we will make sure to find a suitable location where your pooch can come along.

  • Having the digital files gives you the most freedom. You can use the photos for Christmas cards, calendars, prints, canvas, frames. Or simply make a beautiful slideshow or photo book. The key is not to leave the images on your computer where you will never have the chance to view them.
