Haven Studios: Honouring Your Story, One Frame at a Time

I’m a maternity, newborn and family photographer based in Hamilton. I’m drawn to the small, honest moments that make family life so beautifully messy and full of love - the connections, the chaos, and the quiet bits in between. It’s those little details that guide the way I photograph, so every image feels natural and full of life.

My sessions are relaxed and unfold naturally, with just enough gentle guidance to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I want the experience to feel easy, enjoyable and true to you.

I’m so excited to soon be offering wedding photography too - bringing the same care, warmth and storytelling to one of the most important days of your life.

Hi, I’m Kim

I'm a natural light photographer based in Hamilton, New Zealand.

Throughout my 10-year photography career, I studied midwifery which broadened my knowledge and changed my outlook on pregnancy and birth, making my passion stronger than ever to capture those special moments that will otherwise soon be forgotten.

I can't wait to meet you to capture those sacred moments that will only grow in value and be treasured for generations to come.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “I came across Kim's work a few years ago through mutual friends and finally plucked up the courage to book my first session with her for my daughter and I. She made us both feel extremely comfortable and had such a 'go with the flow' vibe when it came to capturing my daughter - so I decided to book in again! Kim was very calm and patient, making our overall experience that much better and less nerve-racking being in front of the camera.

    I would recommend Kim to everyone without a doubt! I can't wait for our next session!”

    Tori Brook

  • “We had a maternity and mini session with Kim and we highly recommend her if you want to capture incredible photos of your family and/or maternity photos.

    Kim makes you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, she guides you with flattering, natural poses and has the best photo locations and studio! She is really passionate, professional, and great with kids! We treasure all of the photos that Kim has taken for us and we can’t wait to book again!”

    Danielle Dhillon

  • “Kim never seizes to amaze me. Every shoot we’ve had with Kim, we always feel comfortable as she guides us on how to pose, which makes being in front of the camera less daunting.

    We’ve had our newborn shoot, family photos and a 4 generation photo with Kim and every experience was one to remember. We’ll continue to have our photos done by Kim, every single time they have all been amazing and the turn around time to get photos is super quick! Couldn’t recommend Kim enough!”

    Bex Williamson

  • “Kim has been our family photographer for 11 years now. She has been with us through pregnancy, births, newborn and those updated family shoots as we continue to grow. Kim loves the kids and always makes them feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.

    As a photographer and a woman, she’s so supportive and makes me feel incredibly comfortable and beautiful every time. We love Kim, we’re her biggest fans and will always use her as our Photographer. Highly recommend!”
