PAUSE LESS, PLAY MORE

Kaikoura family & newborn photography

Welcome to Emily Clavis Photography a warm, relaxed photography experience for growing families, tiny toes, and all the beautifully ordinary moments in between. My sessions are all about play, connection, and capturing the little things that make your family yours. No pressure, no posing just real life, as it unfolds.

A unique approach

I shoot exclusively on my iPhone to keep things simple, fast, and affordable. This approach means I can offer sessions at a price point that’s more accessible for everyone.

Simple, fast & affordable

As a mum of two, capturing photos for families is truly a passion of mine. I know just how fleeting the moments can be with little ones, and I feel so lucky to help freeze those tiny details and connections before they slip away.

Fun & casual

Timeless connections

My sessions are designed to be easy, relaxed, and fun, no stiff poses, no pressure, just you and your people being yourselves. Whether we’re at the beach, in your backyard, or snuggled up at home, I’ll capture your story as it naturally unfolds.
