1. Choose your Experience

We offer Maternity Photography for the expecting mum, Newborn Photography for the new family, 100 Days Photo Shoot to honour tradition, Family Photography for everyone and Cake Smash Photo Shoots to celebrate.

2. Get ready for your Experience

Once your booking date is confirmed and your booking questionnaire is received your photographer will schedule your pre shoot consultation.

3. Have your Experience

Visiting our studio is easy, located at 130 St George's Bay Rd, Parnell and connected by all motorways from around Auckland. We will create something unique and special for you.

4. Viewing Session

Usually within two weeks of your photo experience we will host your Viewing Session. This is the first chance you will have to see the photos and where you will be able to make your selections!

The whole process wasn't just easy, but actually enjoyable! This is coming from someone who hates having their photo taken! Thanks Michael and Julia!

Review on Facebook

There’s a reason why we’re the preferred maternity and newborn photo agency in Auckland.

We have perfected our craft through our years in business and constantly rewarded our clients with beautiful pictures, happy smiles, and satisfying experiences. Our head photographer, Julia Bielan was professionally trained in Missouri by Joe Craig in all aspects of creative photography. Her training - combined with her natural eye for amazing photography, her personal experiences as a mum, her work ethic, and uncanny attention to detail help us create magazine-perfect pictures every time.

Embrace the Photo Hive experience for a once-in-a lifetime experience

From the moment you walk through the character doors of our centrally located studio in Parnell, Auckland, to the moment we deliver the final images, we make it a dreamy experience for you and your loved ones.
