Family, newborn and maternity photography in Auckland
Warm, connection-led photographs that hold the real feeling of your season.
The small, in-between moments you’ll want to keep.
I photograph families the way they actually are. The cuddle before everyone’s ready, the look that passes between you, the noise and the stillness of life with little ones.
My work sits between art and memory. Natural, unforced and deeply felt, so that years from now you don’t just see how your family looked. You feel how it was.

Three ways to hold onto this season
Relaxed, connection-led photography for the families of the Hibiscus Coast and Auckland.
-
Family Sessions
On-location family photography at beaches, parks and outdoor spaces I know and trust. Relaxed, unhurried, and true to how your family actually feels.
-
Newborn Sessions
Those first soft, fleeting weeks, photographed gently and without fuss. Most sessions are held in my studio - a quiet space away from the busyness of home, where you can slow down and simply be.
-
Maternity Sessions
The waiting and the wondering, before everything changes. Quiet, beautiful maternity photography that marks the in-between.
Behind the lens
Meet Megan
Hi, I’m Megan. For ten years I’ve been photographing families across Auckland and the Hibiscus Coast, and in that time I’ve learned that the photos people hold onto are rarely the perfectly posed ones.
They’re the in-between ones. A hand reaching up, a shared joke, the way your child still fits in your arms right now.
I work quietly and let the day unfold, so what you’re left with feels like you, not a performance of you.
Angie Verderico Megan is amazing! Trust me you are in the best hands and you will love the results. These will be your absolute favorite photos! Precious family memories beautifully captured and preserved for a lifetime of enjoyment. Book with her now!
Rachel Gebbie We have now had 3 family photo shoots with Megan. We keep coming back because she is INCREDIBLE. She gives direction so that the photos are the most flattering (ladies, she gets where all your body insecurities might be and is fabulous at positioning you to flatter!). I would 100% recommend Megan for any pregnancy, newborn or family shoots. So worth it!
Heather McGivern Megan was incredible to work with. We felt comfortable and with her guidance became easily felt relaxed through the shoot. We did our maternity and new born shoot with her and it wasn’t just photos of us she took, it was moments she captured without us even knowing they were happening. Highly recommend Megan.
Documenting this season of your life, exactly as it is now.
For photographers
Learn to photograph connection, not just composition
If your images are technically good but feel a little flat, it’s usually not your camera or your settings. It’s the connection. This is where I teach what ten years behind the lens has taught me.
