Smile Baby Photography is operated by Sandy Jones, a family photographer based in Gisborne, New Zealand, specializing in newborn, babies, children, maternity, and family photography. With a demonstrated history of working in the photography industry and skills in advertising, portrait photography, commercial photography, digital photography, and Adobe Photoshop, Sandy creates images that capture moments to be treasured for a lifetime. Her motto, “A Moment Captured A Lifetime Treasured,” reflects her commitment to preserving precious family memories.
Sandy has created a studio space that is calming, cozy, and comfortable, perfect for small families, newborns, maternity, portraits, and even cake smash sessions. Understanding how tiring it is being a parent with a newborn, Sandy makes the experience relaxing by having parents sit back on the couch to chat while she plays around with their precious bundle. She uses a shusher machine sometimes and has soft music playing to create a soothing environment. Her large soft flash lighting keeps images consistent without annoying babies, and toddlers often think it’s quite fun. Sandy is open to photographing any ideas clients wish to capture, making each session personalized and special.
Smile Baby Photography offers a range of services including newborn photography, children’s portraits, family sessions, maternity photography, cake smash birthday photography, motherhood photography with mums and babies, creative art photography, and sitter sessions. Sandy’s approach focuses on creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience where families can relax while she captures beautiful, professional images. Her studio is designed to be child-friendly, and she works to make every session stress-free for parents. Based in Gisborne, Smile Baby Photography serves families looking for professional, heartfelt imagery that celebrates the special moments of childhood and family life.
