Edith Lee Photography

Edith Leigh Photography is a Dunedin-based family photography studio operated by Edith, specialising in natural family photography that captures real, heartfelt family stories. Edith has photographed over 100 families in Dunedin and emphasises capturing authentic emotions and connections rather than forced smiles or artificial poses. Her services include family portraits for all ages from newborns to teens and grown-up children, with dogs welcome to join sessions as four-legged family members. The studio offers stress-free newborn and baby sessions conducted in clients’ homes, believing babies belong in parents’ arms rather than studio props. Edith’s approach focuses on showing what it feels like to be part of each unique family, creating art that captures genuine connection, expression, and emotion. The photography experience includes online booking, pre-planning guides, personalised viewing sessions, and contemporary wall art creation. Session fees start at $175, with most families investing between $990 and $1990 for complete experiences including digital files and wall art. Edith handles all aspects from photography through to installation of family artwork, ensuring images move from session to display on walls where families will see them daily. The studio offers various products including The Storyframe, framed fine art prints, and matted fine art portraits, all designed to create lasting family treasures that will be enjoyed for generations.
