Family Portraits that create memories to last a lifetime.
Do you want to have beautiful images of you and your family on your wall. Images to remember everyone special to you, and capture a point of time.
And images for the next generations to look back on and be brought back in time.
I love creating images that are fun, cuddly and show the characters in your family.
Beautiful individuals, portraits of everyone together, family portraits that will be treasured.
My style is to create images that don’t look too posed, and capture the connections within the family with each other, rather than the more traditional looking at the camera portraits. But I do always do a couple of these too, to make sure we have everything covered.
I love photographing big groups, and lots of generations.
Often people are not sure about the right time for a portrait. They have concerns about children behaving, teenagers smiling or want to wait until everything is perfect for a portrait (ie a common one is to wait until you are the perfect weight!!). But from my experience I say just do it. You never know the future, and you can always update them down the track.
Family Portrait Photography Pricing
My philosophy about family portrait photography is all about ending up with beautiful and personal images on your walls. Because of this, my images are sold per print, so that your images don’t languish in a folder on your desktop!
The final pricing depends on how many images you love!
The session fee is $99, which covers the time on the day. Then you choose what you love a week or two after our session.
For example:
A beautiful family portrait, capturing a special moment and enlarged to 20″ x 14″ for on the lounge wall. Professionally printed and matted, ready to be framed is $369. (So the total price including the session is $468). Or a gorgeous 30″ x 20″ is $869.
Or for 10″ x 7″ matted portraits (which are really popular, and fit in a standard size frame you can buy most places): Packages of six, twelve and eighteen prints range from $750, $1150 to $1550.
Please let me know if you would like me to email you through the price of my collections, or talk about it some more.
I can photograph you and your family in my beautiful Hillsborough studio (though it is small, suitable for only about 5 people or less), or outdoors in Christchurch, or we can talk about further afield, ie Ashburton, Rangiora, Kaiapoi for your family portraits.
I love family portraits in both my studio or on location, and I am happy to talk to you about what would create you the most stunning images for your family.
Prices all in $NZ.

How it works
At Etta Images, we can work together to achieve what you’re after. I specialise in studio and location portraiture, and as a mother of an occasionally angelic, but sometimes not, young son, I have substantial experience in shooting children and families, from newborn through to the twilight years.
Prior to your session, we’ll have a discussion about the style you are going for and where you’d like to shoot the images. Etta Images is located in a beautiful studio in Hillsborough, but I am happy to travel to a special location for you.
My goal on the day is for you to feel relaxed and comfortable. I love to capture the relationships and closeness of my clients’ families and that’s what we’ll work towards.
In the weeks after the session, you’ll come back to the studio to view your edited images. I’ll be on hand to give you advice about sizing and creating montages or collections that compliment each other.
Some sizes are available to take home on the day!
Carefully shot and beautifully edited, these are presented mounted and matted , and just need a frame. They are begging for a wall to hang on!
“Here at Etta Images, we listen carefully to your requirements, and ensure that the portraits that you receive are what you dreamed of, rather than just what you hoped for” Juliette Capaldi, Owner and Photographer.
We had a lot of fun getting photos done down at the beach with our loved Cavoodle. Juliette was fantastic with my children and captured stunning, natural photos of them showing their big smiles and individual personalities.

We engaged Juliette to take a series of family portraits for our Father’s milestone birthday. She was fantastic to deal with from the get go. She was great with her communication, explaining the process, prices etc clearly. She recommend the perfect photography spot for us to meet on the day and “herded” our extended family with experience and efficiency (which would not have been easy!). Juliette made the whole process enjoyable and fun, and has supplied us with a series perfect photos of our family – with no delay. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
