Family Photography
waikato & bay of plenty Photographer
Family photoshoots are about capturing you and your family's love for one another, the hugs, the laughs and the funny faces. No matter whether your children are already in their teens or they still want to hunt for shells or make a sand castle and bury dad, we won't be death staring the camera. What we will be doing is capturing your family, making each of you feel amazing, capturing the fun or little ones, giving confidence to teenagers, creating beautiful portraits to capture this moment in your families life.
Don't worry, I'll always give you prompts and even tell you where to put your hands when you look a little lost!

FAQ
Where do we print our photos?
How soon do we need to book?
How many images can I expect?
Can we bring our furbabies?
It's super easy to purchase prints, albums, frames, canvas or even calendars of your beautiful images right from your online gallery! Simply hit the shop icon to add to cart or check out the different products in the shop menu! You can of course take your chosen images elsewhere to print as well too.
Absolutely! Your furbaby is a part of your family and should absolutely be included! Let me know when you book that you'd like to bring your puppy along so that we make sure to choose a location suitable for your furry family member!
This will depend on your shoot length as well as your little ones but it's always plenty. For a 60 minute or longer shoot, you can usually expect over 100 images in your gallery! We do different combinations, individuals as well as lots of fun or silly games so you'll have plenty of beautiful images, posed and candid shots as well as various angles to choose from!
For weekends, I'm often booked out a few months in advance so it's best to book as soon as you know you'd like a photoshoot with me. Weekends are usually booked out much sooner than weekdays are, with only a limited number of weekend dates available throughout the year due to weddings.
Is extended family welcome?
When is the best time for photos?
Well that depends if you like beautiful forests or greenery or amazing sunsets. Regardless, I prefer to shoot in the morning before the sun gets too high and harsh or in the last hour before the sunsets to get the best light. Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn all have beautiful looks but if you'd like a sunset, remember that is Summer we shoot around 7.30pm where as in Winter, it's around 4pm.
Extended Family Shoots are a great way for you to get your whole family photographed together as well as the smaller family units and various groupings like the kids with the grandparents or all the cousins together. It does take longer than a normal family shoot so there are special packages for this. If you'd like to bring your extended family, check out the extended family pricing here!

My family were lucky enough to get a shoot with Haley over the weekend and she made it so comfortable, easy and fun! I was terrified to have photos taken that I didn't have control over, always having an excuse about wanting to "look" better before I book it.. but boy am I happy we did it. I now have beautifully taken photos of my family in a stunning location that will be cherished for ever. My children can treasure these, show their kids one day. As we age we lose parts of ourselves, I am so happy I will have these to look back on. A captured moment in time. The happiness, laughter and connection is preserved within each image. We can be reminded of this feeling every time we look at them. Thank you so much Haley. I can not recommend taking the leap and doing a Family Photo Shoot with her more! 10 out of 10. xoxo

I can't recommend Haley enough! With a 7 month old and a partner not very willing to have his photograph taken I was very nervous! However Haley made it so easy and relaxed doing this she captured everything and more than we could have ever imagined. Amazing photographer, very talented. Thank you again Haley.

Haley is so welcoming and amazing! I was so nervous to have my photos taken but Haley made the whole experience so much fun and I felt really confident after seeing the results. Such a cool photography studio, and her work is stunning! I have done a couple of photoshoots with Haley now and I have loved all of them!

We met Haley for the first time during our photoshoot. She is so lovely and so easy going. Josh and I have never had any professional photos taken together, so we weren't sure what to do but Haley made us feel at ease and very comfortable. The photos are amazingly beautiful. Can’t wait to have our wedding photos taken by her! Thank you, Haley.

It was AMAZING being photographed by Haley the other day! Haley is a true inspiration to me and a fantastic mentor, I've assisted her in the studio and watched her work her magic with so many wonderful women, it was an honour to be on the other side of the action! It was truly special and a huge confidence boost to see myself looking my absolute best. Haley was wonderful working with my crazy kids and my hesitant husband too! Haley a genius with so many different types of photography - 1000% recommend her ❤

I was super nervous beforehand, I was expecting it to be super awkward and way out of my comfort zone. Haley is so accommodating so my experience was completely the opposite, everything was sorted out, and there was no room left for awkwardness. Her team of makeup and hair artists are committed to their work and I felt that everything was absolutely perfect. I felt super comfortable and have come out the other side with some amazing pictures! Will definitely be coming back for any future pictures!!

I couldn't recommend Haley enough. She's super accommodating, fun to work with whilst being extremely professional. Our team of four (none of us particularly photogenic), found her instructions & lead of great value. Haley, go up on your prices, you offer way more then what you charge for!

I took the plunge and booked in with Haley Adele Portraits for professional headshots and branding photos. Haley made the whole experience absolutely amazing throughout.
Haley had me absolutely speechless today going through my reveal! I honestly can't thank you enough for the time you gave me, the direction and laughs! I am most certainly booking in regularly for updated shots simply because everyone needs to see themselves through Haley's eyes. Haley, thank you so much! ❤

Haley did our engagement shoot a few weeks ago, as part of our overall wedding package. The photos are amazing, and Haley really helped us get comfortable with something we're not used to doing (bit of PDA). Can't wait for the wedding next year! Thanks Haley. Brad and Izzy.
