Yvette Maree is a Palmerston North-based photographer with over ten years of experience, specializing in maternity, family, newborn, and dance photography. As a mother of three and a self-described “dance Mum,” she brings a unique and personal understanding to her work, especially when photographing children and dancers. For her, photography is about celebrating who people are and capturing the precious moments of life’s journey.
Yvette offers both studio and outdoor sessions for maternity shoots, while family photos are often taken in the beautiful outdoor settings around Palmerston North. Her newborn photography is typically conducted in her home studio, or she can bring the studio to the clientâs home for a more relaxed and stress-free experience. She is patient and nurturing, understanding that newborns have unique needs. She provides a safe and calm environment, allowing for breaks for feeding and changing, and even offers editing to remove minor imperfections on the baby. Her empowerment and dance photoshoots are designed to help people, especially women, realize their own beauty and capture their confidence. Yvette’s dedication to creating lasting, beautiful memories and her ability to make clients feel comfortable sets her apart.
