Exclusive LImited edition Creative photo Shoots

What is a limted edition creative shoot

Our Limited Editon Shoots are unlike anything before; a once in a lifetime experience where you are model, muse, and artwork. Each season we release a new creative concept, with custom-made wearable art outfits, hand-painted backdrops, Rembrandt-style studio lighting, and creative post-production that ensures you take home a masterpiece that is unique and a true one-off artwork.

In what we believe is a New Zealand first (and maybe the world), we are taking creativity beyond the camera, and together we’ll make a framed piece of fine art that will become one of your most treasured possessions.

Our Limited Edition Creative Shoots are perfect for Individuals, children, couples and those who dare to be different. It is the most exclusive session we offer, with only 3 places available each season.

Each season, we introduce a new Limited Edition Creative Concept that inspires all of our shoots for the following three months. It’s a fresh source of creativity, sparking custom-made outfits, backdrops, and accessories—all designed with your unique personality and ideas in mind.

TESTIMONIAL

  • Floral Fantasia


    "When I decided to have a Limited Edition Shoot with Sarahlee, we had an initial consultation to discuss my passions, favourite colours, and the concept. Sarahlee went above and beyond by designing a bespoke dress, she even included my favourite colours and it was amazing!

    We agreed on a look that was moody, classy, joyful, and a touch mysterious. The entire experience, from having my hair and makeup done to the actual photoshoot, was incredibly fun and relaxing. Sarahlee's professionalism shone through as she carefully took the time to achieve exactly the look I had envisioned.

    When I returned to collect the framed artwork, I was absolutely stunned. The portrait was even more beautiful than I had imagined, perfectly capturing everything I had hoped for. It now holds pride of place in my lounge, and I am so proud of it. It’s a stunning heirloom that I look forward to passing on to my children.

    Thank you so much, Sarahlee."
