Documenting your story,

the wild, wonderful, chaos of it all,

because these are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Hey, I’m Emily!

For 15 years I’ve had the privilege of photographing people and their stories all over the world, chasing the light at weddings, editorials and on Film and TV sets.

Then, in 2022, my whole world shifted in the most wonderful way when I became a Mum… that’s when Little and Light was born.

See, I just love capturing stories - the messy, raw and beautiful moments of life with the people we love - every story is special and deserves to be documented.

Wanna hear my story? Read more here.

My shoots are led with laughter and fun as I gently guide the session. Making people feel comfortable and free to be themselves is my vibe - no forced smiles or stiff poses.

The magic moments happen when you’re able to just be you… genuine, open, perfectly you - in your happy place.

You just bring yourselves, and I’ll take care of the rest.

My pricing starts at $295 for a 1 hour portrait session.

I’m based in West Auckland, but I’ll happily travel anywhere around the Auckland region.

Whether it’s kids running wild at your favourite beach, soaking up newborn cuddles at home, or full belly laughs with your extended family…

Every story is welcome and celebrated here, I’d love to document yours.

Ready to get in touch?

I’ll happily answer all your burning questions and guide you through every step of the way.
