This is A Light Beheld Photography—
Palmerston North's documentary family photographer.
Telling the story of your life as visual poetry.
Hey, friend! I'm Georgia.
I don't have a job. I have callings. Photography is one of them, but it has its place in the pecking order of my life.
Above it are all the callings that begin with the word "home." I am a home wife, a home mother, a home maker, a home schooler.
Because of this, I've stripped back my process to keep it as simple as possible, and take very limited bookings. If you want me to photograph your family, hit the enquire button. You'll find some more details there.
God bless you,
Georgia x
P.S.
I don't show photos of children's full faces online. I do take photos of children's faces, and I promise that if I take your photos, your gallery will be full of 'em. I just value children's safety and agency over promotion of my work.
To behold is to see. To truly give your attention to something, to hold it in your gaze, to notice beauty.
And my goodness, there’s SO much beauty to be found in this life!
I take photos that show who you are, not just what you look like—to capture how it feels to be with the humans you love, or to do what you love doing.
My photography is inspired by the simple, deeply important details of daily life—the patter of little feet in the hallway / the slow afternoon crafts / the unhindered laughter of teenagers getting cheeky / the tiny fingers in a tangle of hair / smile lines.
These sessions are for you if you want to embrace connection and the imperfect moments that define the season you’re in. They're sessions for you to enjoy, just as much about the experience as they are about the photos. They're lighthearted and nostalgic, capturing the wonder of time spent with your favourite people, or doing your favourite thing.
Sound like a bit of you? Good. I can't wait to hear from you.
Stay in the loop
Photography is one of my favourite ways to see. My other favourite way to see is to write. And so I sometimes write letters (the digital kind). If you put your name and email address in the boxes below, I'll send them to you.
It's mostly musings that pop into my mind. Occasionally I tell you important things that are coming up. But I don't have much of that happening, so it really is mostly just thoughts about life and motherhood that I found words for.
