Once you have decided to book a film session with me, I will gently guide the process - firstly by getting to know you through a zoom call or over a coffee. The filming session itself is extremely relaxed; usually in your own home. No effort, preparation, or ‘performance’ is required from you! I will work my magic, capturing you beautifully, just as you are.

With my Family Films, you have two options - the ‘family story’ films involve a recorded interview, which is weaved into a narrative for your film. The ‘family memento’ films do not include an interview, just natural moments between you. My Legacy Films also have two options - either a short story (single film), or chaptered stories (multiple films) covering the various chapters of your/your loved one’s life. And with my Birth/Newborn Films there are many options, including combo packages, covering pregnancy, birth, and newborn sessions. Please enquire to discuss in detail!

I will keep you up-to-date with my progress - you will typically receive your film gallery within a month of your filming session. I don’t like to rush the creative process, but if you need a quick turnaround please just let me know - I will always do my best to accommodate.

Yes! I offer photography as an ‘add on’ service to my family films, or you may book photography only (eg birth photography). Current pricing can be found on the info pages - or please ask me for a personal quote.

If you are ready to book my services, or would like to enquire for more information - please fill out the contact form, or email hayley@beauandarrowfilms.com. I will be in touch asap!

Absolutely! I love to travel — please let me know your location and I’ll create a custom quote to cover my travel expenses (if you’re outside Auckland). NB for birth films/photography, I currently only cover Auckland North Shore.
