Cherished moments

This blog is showcasing images captured by our muse, Kirsty, from These Are The Golden Days

Kirsty is a family photographer based in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland, and a fine one at that. Her work forever inspires me, it’s nostalgic and timeless. I think in the photography industry it’s important to cheer each other on. So that is what I’m here to do. 

I had always wanted to book Kirsty to do my families photos, so when she put on her socials that she was coming to Christchurch I knew I had to make it work financially to get a session booked in with her. 

I had never booked a family photographer before, my husband or I had just documented our journey with out home camera (Fuji XT), but we hardly ever get around to editing our own photos and it’s rare for us all to be in the same photo. I knew I needed to put myself in the shoes of my clients and get in front of the camera and enjoy the ride, allowing someone else to direct us, take care of all details and editing. Man, am I thankful that I booked this family photo session!! 

Kirsty was amazing, felt us all feel at ease and guided the session as needed. She let the kids be kids, of course they were crazy and excited but somehow, Kirsty was able to produce a bunch of photos where the kids were calm in the moment. It was so fun! The final product was beautiful and I will treasure these family photos FOREVER and ever. 

Highly recommend Kirsty as your family photographer! Check her out!

Thanks Kirst!!
