----
Located at 130 St Georges Bay Rd, Parnell, Photo Hive are the Auckland specialists in Newborn and Family Photography. Our luxury Auckland photo studio provides the perfect setting to tell your story and capture moments to treasure.
Our niche is from pregnancy right through to 5 years and our photo shoots are based on capturing your families journey through this precious time. 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.
With over 10 years photography experience head photographer Julia Bielan’s expertise are second to none. Being a mum herself she knows exactly how precious newborn babies are and will safely calm, sooth and relax your baby for the session. Julia will be on hand before your shoot to discuss your ideas, preferences and even how to prepare for shoot day during your complimentary phone consultation.
Did you know? The best time to have your newborn baby photographed is within the first two weeks after giving birth. This is something often overlooked by new mums with all the going ons near the end of your pregnancy. For this reason we recommend making your newborn photography booking before giving birth to avoid disappointment as we are usually booked out well in advance.
Our photography is about capturing once in a lifetime opportunities and finding a photographer you can trust to not only take amazing portraits but also ensure your babies safety at this very delicate age can be a daunting prospect. Luckily Julia from Photo Hive has the experience and expertise to get the job done.

Michael and Julia are both wonderful to work with. Julia is the most amazing newborn photographer!!!! We're so incredibly happy with how baby's photo shoot went. Julia created the most beautiful soft photos, she didn't rush, and she has the most incredible soothing way with babies! If you're going to trust anyone with your bubba to both take great pics and create a warm soothing environment, trust Julia! Thank you both, we've already printed pics for all the grandparents!!

This Team is easy to work with, They were fun and also considerate. Always made sure that our baby was comfortable. It was one of the best photoshoots I have attended and most of all their work is absolutely beautiful.

It's been a pleasure meeting Julia and Michael :) During the shoot, my fiance and I were at ease. We really enjoyed our experience with Photo Hive. The photos came out great too! After getting the digital images, we received a letter from Julia and it's really heartwarming because she had written it herself :) The USB was cute, btw :D

Michael and Julia were excellent. Julia was brilliant at getting my 2.5 year old to participate and smile and not get grumpy while my newborn was getting his photos taken. It was a great experience and was very relaxed and the whole sitting was not rushed. The photos turned out great and they were very helpful in making sure that we were happy with all of our photos. Great service and photos. Thanks a lot.

Highly recommended, Julia was so patient and gentle with our newborn and so open and easy to communicate with and the newborn studio was so warm and cosy, we will definitely be back for future photo sessions.
