PORTRAIT & EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER

hey there!
I'M SHINADE
Being a photographer exposing me to the wonder of the world. When I walk around, I often picture how things would look from behind the lens of my camera. Every tree, every child’s innocent smile, every mother’s pride as an opportunity for art to be created and more memories to be preserved.
So in my world of motherhood and entrepreneurship, raising my own two girls, pursuing the life that I believe I was created for, but doing it all from behind my camera lens, seeing everything from a different perspective, sometimes it drives me crazy when I drive up a highway and I see the most beautiful spot to take photos but I just can’t stop there. So If you are looking to take pictures of yourself, your baby, your family, your business, or your product, feel free to reach out to me, I am always thrilled to get my camera up and shoot!
I live in Silverdale, Auckland and serve the greater Auckland area. specialize in family and newborn photography but I also love taking photos of couples, events, branding for your business and product photography.
I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE
In 2009 on a trip to Spain, my first bloomings of an interest in photography emerged. I picked up my first DSLR to document beautiful Barcelona. Fast forward 6 years with the birth of my twins, life changed a lot and I could not hold down a 9-5 job in what was my first passion Interior Architecture. After immigrating to New Zealand from South Africa this became more apparent which led me to start my own business in 2021.
My hobbies include painting, walking and spending time with my family.
I am so happy to serve as your Auckland Newborn and Maternity Photographer and Auckland Family Photographer.

I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO
find joy in the little things
