Pop-Up Portraits:
Little People, Big ….
CAPTURING THE MAGIC OF CHILDHOOD..
Because They’re Only Little Once..
A creative space where kids take center stage, Pop-Up Portraits is all about celebrating the little personalities that light up your world. Each session is designed to be fun, fast, and easy for parents, while giving kids a chance to shine in front of the camera.
Our last theme, “Little People, Big Imaginations,” was such a success & so much fun. It invites children to dress up as their favorite characters, superheroes, animals, or anything else their hearts dream up. It’s a chance for them to step into a world of make-believe while we capture the magic forever.
With each pop-up offering a unique, once-a-year theme, this is your opportunity to preserve the fleeting moments of childhood in a fresh, playful way. So whether your child is a daring adventurer, a graceful princess, or a superhero in disguise, this session will bring their imagination to life.
SPACE FOR CREATIVITY
The themes are designed to spark your child’s imagination, letting them bring their favourite characters, ideas, or dreams to life. Whether they want to soar as a superhero, twirl as a ballerina, or roar like a lion, I’ll capture their personality in its purest form.
EFFORTLESS FOR PARENTS
With short session times and a playful environment, these sessions are perfectly tailored to kids’ energy levels and parents’ busy schedules. From music to styling help, I take care of every detail, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.
ARTWORK FOR YOUR WALLS & HEART
Every portrait is a timeless reminder of who they are right now—an authentic snapshot of their personality and quirks. Along with digital images, our included A3 prints let you showcase their magic at home in a meaningful way.

What they’re saying about Pop-Up Portraits: Little People Big Clothes
-
They say you should never work with kids, but Hayley from Beloved Stories proved that wrong!
Her pop-up series is amazing! She is so patient, fun & completely in her element with the kids. The photos are absolutely incredible & I am blown away at how she captured each of my childrens personalities in only 15mins! Couldn’t recommend Hayley more if we tried.

Little People, Big Clothes - I am Obsessed!
This Pop-Up was so much fun. Hayley is icredibly skilled & patient at capturing my kids personalities in her images. She went above & beyond to make them comfortable, making it as much fun as possible. I loved that the session was short too so my girls didn’t get over it (Toddlers - IYKYK!)
Highly Recommend!Amber Rahurahu

This shoot turned out to be such a special expereince for me!
I loved watching my 3yr old dressing up in my wedding dress; jewellery & all! It really captured her personality in that moment in time.
During the shoot Hayley played my daughters favourite songs, which immediately put her at ease. The shoot was really well organised & ran smoothly. I loved that it was short too as I was conscious of my little ones attention span - but most of all we absolutely loved the photos. Thank you!!Jet Pate

Path i’ve always followed - my own
I’ve been searching my whole life for what family connection is meant to feel like.
It was actually one of the driving forces into becoming a family photographer. If I could see it & capture it, could I feel it myself?
You betcha.
I have felt so much over the past decade while capturing beautiful families celebrating some of the most cherished turning points in their lives. Love has radiated out of these sessions & filled my cup up while on my search of what it truly means to be connected. I’ve felt so much joy & also sorrow as the images tell your stories of life & loss.
These stories helped me along my own journey to my own family as I became a solo mum to my little girl Neve back in 2021. Now being submerged fully in motherhood myself, my photography has taken on it’s own change & connection.
