AUTHENTIC, TIMELESS & LOVE-FILLED IMAGES
Kimberley Cheyne Photography - Dunedin, NZ
Oh, hey! I'm Kimberley...
Liam and I feel so privileged to have three wee munchkins running around our home. We adooore the curious, hilarious, mischievous, adventurous, playful nature of children! Yip... they are loud, messy, and annoyingly slow at getting ready. But they are also ridiculously sweet and fun, and our hearts couldn't be more full. Our marriage and raising our three awesome wee boys are our top priorities, and I have a crazily deep desire to document every last detail of their childhood. Honestly, I'm a little bit addicted. I may not drink coffee, but I do need my little daily fix of photography to keep me feeling normal.
I've learned a thing or two over the past few years about what I think is important in family photos. My focus is authenticity and connection... because it's there where the memories come flooding back. My work is a balance between curating beautiful family art and documenting the raw, imperfect, unstaged moments of family life. I love photographing gorgeous, happy families in stunning locations... annnnd I also adore capturing the tender little ouchie-healing cuddles that happen amongst the piles of unfolded washing, or the tantruming three-year-old who clearly dressed himself. I weave both styles into my shoots. I love finding golden moments amongst the ordinary things and recognising what tiny, meaningful memories will make you feel all the feels when their little hands aren't so chubby and little anymore.
Family life is never perfect, and I look around the many photos hanging around our walls and am reminded again and again, even in the harder moments of parenting, of the massive goal of family connection, our values, and all the things we love about each other! Having family photos on your walls really helps kids to know deeply how greatly they are valued and loved. You probably also realise there is often someone missing from your own daily snaps too - you. So trust me to capture your connection with your kids in the most beautiful ways. Your family will thank you for it forever!
I understand how much emotion and love can be packed up in a little moment, and I want this for you too. Together, we can create a collection that makes your heart wanna burst! I would love to hear what is important to you xx
