Ordinary Life Session

A longer shoot to capture the raw and real moments of your ordinary life. It involves inviting me into your home for a morning or afternoon, to hang out in the background and capture all your organic moments as they unfold. You get to do nothing but spend quality time together, and I get to capture it.

- Shoot time approximately 3 hours - may be more or less as it will be a collaboration between myself and your family, and we may feel that we’ve either captured all we need, or that we need a little more time
- Approx. 40 edited images per hour of shooting time
- Additional travel fees apply to locations outside Tauranga

Prices Start from $625

Excellent Family Photographer!
3 months on from the most amazing family photoshoot my 3 year old is still talking about Ainsley! I was so worried my 3 year old would feel too anxious to have her photo taken (not uncommon for her), but Ainsley made her feel so comfortable. The newborn pictures were gorgeous! The way Ainsley tells a story through the photos makes it feel as though I will always remember just what it's like day to day with my little ones. Thank you Ainsley!
