"I can’t thank Moa enough for capturing such precious memories of my family. After putting it off for years, I was amazed at how comfortable, relaxed and fun our shoot was! Moa is absolutely amazing and these pictures of our whānau will be forever treasured.
Moa was so easy to communicate with, answered all questions promptly, was incredible with all three of my kiddos and took such incredible photos!"
"I couldn’t recommend Moa more highly! We’ve had three family photo sessions with her over the past few years, including maternity, newborn and family photos, and every experience has been fantastic. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but every time the whole experience was so relaxed, easy and genuinely enjoyable. Moa has an incredible way of making you feel comfortable and have fun which shows in every photo. We are SO happy with the results. Thank you very much Moa for doing such an incredible job of capturing our family!"
"Moa travelled to our land to photograph my family of five, plus growing baby bump, we did a mixture of digital and film shots, and I am bought to tears everytime I look at them all! She captured our family perfectly, made it fun and engaging for our wild kiddies, and somehow produced such magical shots of us all at once! The style was exactly what I envisioned, and they are all such treasures for my family to remember this phase of our lives. Thank you so much Moa!!"
"We recently had a family photo shoot with Moa and honestly couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and the final photos. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so relaxed and natural — nothing felt forced or awkward at all, which was such a relief with young kids involved!
Moa was absolutely amazing with the children and somehow managed to make the whole session fun for them, which really shows in the photos. She captured our family so perfectly and we are completely in love with the results.
These are photos we’ll treasure forever and we couldn’t recommend Moa highly enough. Thank you so much for making the whole experience so enjoyable, easy and stress-free!"
"I have used Moa for my maternity shoot, a shoot when baby was 4 weeks and again when she was 18 months. Clearly I’m a fan haha.
She understands what sort of photos you are looking for and comes prepared knowing different positions and how the lighting is going to be etc. Moa was great at distracting a busy toddler and getting the perfect shots of us. The turnaround is also very impressive and Moa is professional and so lovely to work with. I adore the photos and know I’ll be so grateful to have captured these milestones. Thanks so much!"
"Moa is an amazing photographer and knows how to get great family shots; and work with kids and their, often short, attention spans. We are so happy with the images, they are so natural and we will treasure them forever. Planning to frame a few. Arna."
"Moa took gorgeous photos of our family. We all felt really comfortable and were stoked to have our family (and baby bump) captured in such a beautiful way."
"I had my first ever solo photoshoot with Moa and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I was a little nervous beforehand.. but Moa has such a calm and relaxed nature that she made me feel comfortable from the start. She's pretty easy-going, gave just the right amount of guidance and made the whole shoot feel fun and natural.
The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined and I'm so happy with every single one. Even though she mainly does family and maternity photography, I can absolutely recommend her for solo portraits too. Thank you for such a great experience Moa! Can't wait to book another shoot with you :)"
"Moa was our wedding photographer and did an absolute beautiful job. She captured the theme and ambiance of the wedding by making us comfortable in front of the camera and beautiful editing. 10/10 recommend!!"
