Some nice things my clients have said

"We recently had Emily take some family photos for us and we couldn’t be happier with the results!! She did an incredible job and really captured our family dynamic perfectly. Her candid and relaxed style was exactly what we were looking for and we felt so comfortable in front of her camera. She is an absolute ray of sunshine and the kids just LOVED having her take photos of them! Thanks so much Emily!! We will treasure our photos for years to come"

"Emily did an absolutely magical job capturing stunning and honest photos of our wee whānau at our recent family shoot. Emily made us feel completely at ease, which isn't easy when your awkward and camera shy. So happy with how all the pictures turned out and can't wait to show them off and decorate the house with them"

We had the most beautiful experience with Emily capturing some really special photos of our 12 day old baby! She was so warm and friendly and made us feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone and we will cherish these photos forever.

We’ve had 2 family photoshoots with Emily and have loved our sessions with her. She is so warm and bubbly and full of positive energy. We’re an awkward in front of the camera kind of family and she’s managed to capture looking us great. She’s also wonderful with the little ones. Can happily recommend her for your family pics

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and the gorgeous work she produces! We booked a family shoot as a present to my parents - who have 5 children, each with their own partners and kids. Needless to say we were a big group! Emily wrangled us, made us feel totally at ease and honestly just made it a lot of fun. Little did we know she was snapping away the most gorgeous family photos as we were having a great time. She captured us, our personalities and our love as a large family - something we will be forever grateful for. Highly recommend Little and Light to anyone looking for their forever family photos

"Emily is a wonderful photographer. She has a unique and exciting way of bringing the best out of babies. Our darling boy loved his photoshoot with Emily. As a whānau we now have three of her photos printed and framed. She's a real talent and a wonderful person. Could not recommend more."

Our maternity shoot with Emily was such a great experience! She made us feel so comfortable right from the start, and her friendly, easygoing vibe made the whole session fun and relaxed. She was amazing with our toddler, keeping things light and playful to get the sweetest shots. The beach location she chose was perfect, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful, she captured such genuine moments in the most stunning setting. We’re so happy we chose Emily!

Thank you again, we will treasure these photos!"

Emily was such a joy to work with! Our family had our first professional photo shoot with her recently, and throughout the entire process, Emily was so kind, friendly, and professional. Her fun energy and humour brought out the best candid moments, and her keen eye and attention to detail gave us such beautiful photos. I cannot recommend her enough!

"Just absolutely stunning photography and awesome service. Emily clearly communicated from beginning to end, answering all my questions and explaining the process each step of the way. She was great with my baby and had everyone relaxed and having fun. The whole session felt more like just hanging out having fun rather than a "formal photography" experience. Highly recommend Emily!!"
