These classically-styled minis are available year-round, so you can book each session as it suits you.

We run these sessions every Monday, with bookings available for up to 3 months in advance. So you can choose to just book a session whenever you feel like it’s time for some updated photos, or plan out regular sessions like in the examples below.

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

BABIES
FIRST YEAR

To document a little bit of everything from babies first year, we recommend coming in every 3 months as seen above – this way they are at a new milestone for each photo!

 
 

KIDS
YEARLY PORTRAITS

I photograph my kids each year to celebrate their birthday and it’s become such a special tradition for us. I treasure this collection with all my heart, knowing that one day I can pass it down to them.

 
 
 

 
 

These sessions are styled to suit you - with your choice of backdrop and studio wardrobe.

The backdrop colour is changed out each week, so dates will depend on which of the 3 options below you decide to book. On the day we’ll go through our wardrobe options to find something that you love, and then after the session we carefully edit your final photos for that perfectly dreamy look.

If you’re just coming in for the 1-image option you will need to come along photo-ready – have a look below to see some styling examples!

BOOK HERE

Booking are available most Mondays, and are put up about 3 months in advance.

If the session that you would like to book is sold out, send me an email at cassandra@hazelandcass.co.nz and we may be able to open up more spaces.

An important thing to remember with these mini sessions is they need to be completed within a very limited time frame. So there is not a lot of opportunity for our more nervous little people to warm up - please keep this in mind when booking below. These sessions are not ideal for toddlers between 13-24 months old, unless they are especially confident.

NOTES ON AGES:

  • Babies must be at least 3 months old for these sessions.

  • If you‘re planning on booking your baby in just once, the best age for it is about 8-9 months old.

  • These sessions are not recommended for toddlers between 13-24 months old. We cannot guarantee success for this age range.

  • Our studio wardrobe only goes up to size 10, but you are more than welcome to book in your older kids, as long as you’re happy to bring them dressed!
