FAMILY PORTFOLIO

Hi, I'm Moira, and I believe that memories are treasures that will be loved for generations.

I'm a Taranaki based photographer and mama of two and I specialise in family photography, maternity photography, newborn and baby photography and everything in between.

Our kids grow up and change so incredibly quickly. Before you've even had time to realise they were happening, those precious moments are gone forever. Capturing the love between families, the milestones, the little details, before they get lost to time - I consider this massively important, and a huge honour.

“We had an outdoor family session with Moira. It was an amazing experience. Moira was patient, fantastic with the kids and gave very helpful posing directions. We received the most beautiful photos which we will cherish for a lifetime. She was extremely responsive over email before our shoot and we had a quick turnaround on our gallery. I highly HIGHLY recommend a photoshoot with Wild Little Hearts. Thank you so much Moira!!!”

“Hi Moira

I wanted to say a big thank you for our photos. We love them and they put such a big smile on our faces! My sisters and I are in different countries but crying and laughing over the same photos. We had a beautiful time as a family. You made us feel so relaxed that we forgot we were supposed to be posing in front of a camera. It made us forget any insecurities and awkwardness and just be us.

Thank you and we really look forward to recommending you wholeheartedly to friends and family.”

“Moira was absolutely phenomenal in every dealing I had with her! I mentioned being very nervous about being in front of a camera and she reassured me we were in capable hands and she couldn’t have been more correct! Our wonderful session was absolutely perfect and she gave us clear instructions every step of the way and she managed to capture the perfect mixture of posed and candid photos. We can’t thank you enough Moira for capturing such precious and beautiful photos, we will absolutely treasure them!”

“Being a professional photographer myself, I'm more fussy than most when it comes to photos. I've always admired Moira's work. She see's light and captures emotion so artfully. I love that when I look at our photos our real personalities show. That's because Moira is so chilled, down to earth, and says all the lovely things, there is no time for insecurities. Thank you for capturing my pregnancy so beautifiully! I'm going to plaster these memories all around my home! 🧡”

What Clients Say

“We were blessed enough to have met Moira as she photographed our pregnancy announcement. My husband and I have worked with a few photographers before and know it’s so important to have someone who makes the process enjoyable, easy and not scary!

To say that we are over the moon with the amount of emotion captured in her images is an understatement.

We are now having Moira do our maternity, birth and newborn photos and am so excited for her to be a part of such important milestones.”

“Moira has a gift of transforming your happiest moments into life memories. She has a very calming presence and she sees light like no one I have ever encountered.

I am so unnatural in front of the camera, but Moira has such a calm presence that you feel yourself around her. It felt like an afternoon with a friend and at the end of it, we got the most amazing family photographs to keep forever. I recommend her family sessions 100%.”
