Our session with Nakita was beyond amazing! It felt personalised and intimate with such beautiful results! We felt our family’s essence was captured perfectly, im thankful for the hard work and love put in by the fantastic Nakita! These small moments are so important to capture and hold on to we’re so grateful for the dreamy atmosphere we were able to get ❤️
Kate, Lovers Leap Family Photoshoot
We had photos done with Nakita during one of her mini session days and are super stoked with what she captured of us as a family and of our 3 busy kids! Good direction from Nakita in posing us, she gave us a good range of poses and shots captured effortlessly in such a short session. We love these photos and will see you again for sure :)
Christl, Tomahawk Mini Session
We had a great 15min photoshoot with Nakita. She made it easy, relaxed and the photos were great. Some traditional poses and lots of pictures with movement looking natural with beautiful colours. I’d highly recommend her!
Silke, Tomahawk Mini Session
We had the best time with Nakita at Tomahawk beach. I shared with Nakita before our shoot that were not cringey people and that we wanted a natural shoot. Nakita made sure this happened, just letting us be on a family adventure to the beach and giving us little prompts. Nakita even went for a little dip so that she didn't miss the photo opportunity :) Thanks Nakita

Who are Winter Mini Sessions suitable for?
These sessions are perfect for families, couples, maternity, children, and anyone wanting to capture this season together.
Pets are also welcome — please let me know when booking so I can help plan the session.
How many people can attend a session?
Winter Mini Sessions are designed for immediate families. If you have a larger family or extended family wanting photos together, please get in touch and I can recommend the best session option.
What should we wear?
I recommend choosing warm, neutral tones and coordinating outfits rather than matching. Think soft creams, beige, browns, earthy tones, denim, and cosy layers that complement the winter setting.
A full session guide with outfit ideas, preparation tips, and everything you need to know will be provided after booking.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the weather is unsuitable for photography, I will be in contact to discuss rescheduling options. Your session will only go ahead if the conditions allow us to create beautiful images.
What time should we arrive?
Please arrive a few minutes early so your family is ready to begin at your scheduled time. Sessions are booked back-to-back, so late arrivals may reduce your shooting time.
Can we bring grandparents or extended family?
You are welcome to bring extended family, if you would like to include grandparents or extended family members, please contact me before booking so we can discuss the best option with the limited time.
When will we receive our photos?
Your edited gallery will be delivered within approximately 2 weeks of your session.
How do we book?
Simply choose your preferred date and time through the booking calendar. Once your booking fee has been paid, your session will be secured and you’ll receive your preparation guide.
