From the calm serenity of nature to the sparkle of a model shoot, from painting memories at housewarming celebrations to preserving proud moments at convocations — I’ve had the privilege of capturing a wide array of life’s milestones.
Whether it’s family portraits, newborn giggles, or the laughter of loved ones during a celebration, Pikada Photography is your one-stop destination for every cherished moment.
I believe photography goes far beyond faces — it’s about capturing emotion. Patience is my greatest tool, allowing me to catch the raw, unfiltered feelings behind every smile, every tear, and every loving glance.
Built on passion, skill, and a deep sense of care, Pikada Photography is dedicated to making every client feel completely at ease in front of the camera — confident, comfortable, and above all, truly happy.
My goal is to reveal not just your best self, but the tender, often unspoken emotions that define your special moments.
Because those are the memories that stay with us forever.
I specialize in capturing life’s most heartfelt moments — from weddings, maternity, and family portraits to newborn shoots, birthdays, housewarmings, model portfolios, and more.
I’m based in Wellington, New Zealand, but I’m happy to travel for shoots — whether across town or for a special destination. Travel fees may apply for locations outside the Wellington area.
I recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance to ensure availability, especially for weekends and special occasions. For weddings or larger events, a few months ahead is ideal.
Each package varies, but generally includes a set number of high-resolution edited images, a private online gallery, and a personalized approach to ensure your story is beautifully told. Custom packages are also available.
Yes! I offer a variety of high-quality print options, including albums, wall art, and framed prints. You can order them directly through your online gallery after the shoot.
Depending on the type of shoot, sessions usually last between 1 to 2 hours. Lifestyle or family sessions are generally 60–90 minutes, while larger events like weddings span multiple hours.
This depends on the session type. For example, a 1-hour portrait session may yield 30–50 professionally edited images, while events may deliver more. I focus on quality and storytelling in every image.
Turnaround time is typically 1 to 2 weeks for regular sessions and up to 4 weeks for weddings or large events. I’ll always keep you updated on the progress.
Absolutely! I love working collaboratively and encourage you to share your ideas, inspirations, or Pinterest boards. Together, we’ll make your vision come to life.
Wear something that feels comfortable, confident, and reflects your personality. Soft, neutral colors photograph beautifully outdoors, and I’m happy to offer outfit guidance if needed.
Both! Whether it’s a cozy indoor session with your newborn or a sun-drenched outdoor shoot with the family, I adapt to the environment and your vision.

My style is warm, natural, and emotion-focused. I aim to capture genuine moments — the laughs, the glances, the little details — that truly tell your story.
Yes, a small non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date and time. The remaining balance is due either before or on the day of the shoot, depending on the package.
Life happens, and I completely understand. You can reschedule with at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations may result in forfeiting the deposit, but I always try to be flexible and accommodating where possible.
Yes, all delivered photos are professionally edited and lightly retouched for color, lighting, and clarity. I keep edits natural to preserve the authenticity of the moment.
Absolutely! Pets are family too, and props can add a personal touch. Just let me know ahead of time so I can prepare accordingly.
