These timeless, classically styled mini sessions are available year-round, giving you the flexibility to book whenever it suits you.

Sessions are held every second Tuesday, with bookings open up to three months in advance. Whether you’d like to schedule a session whenever you feel it’s time for fresh portraits or plan regular milestone updates like the examples below, the choice is yours!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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.

Our 5-image and 8-image mini sessions also include optional prop setups if you’re wanting something a bit extra!

BOOK HERE

Bookings are available every second Tuesday, and are put up about 3 months in advance.

If the session you would like to book is sold out, email me 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. A full session may be recommended instead where there is more time.

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 we don’t book 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!
