A bit more about me

Alex Continsoux photographer auckland family newborn petite olive photography

Bonjour! I’m Alex, a French photographer living in Auckland since 2014, mama to a little one, and someone who’s always had a soft spot for storytelling through images.

I’ve always been drawn to creative things, but it wasn’t until 2018, when I photographed a friend’s pregnancy, that it clicked and I realised I’d found it : the kind of photography that lights me up, fills my creative cup, and keeps me inspired every single day

Before that, I worked in the medical field for 15 years, and while it might sound like a big shift, it makes perfect sense to me. Both worlds are all about listening to other’s needs, connection, trust, and being patient.

Why choose me? my style is relaxed, guided, and heartfelt. I want you to feel completely at ease, knowing your little one is in experienced, loving hands. I’m often behind the camera with a smile (or a laugh) on my face, capturing the way your baby curls into you, tiny fingers wrapped around yours. I have a soft spot for timeless black and white images, especially those intimate shots of babies held close in their parents’ arms. They often end up as the favourites… and for good reason. If you love my portfolio and like the sound of a friendly and super patient photographer, get in touch now :)

This love runs deep — four generations deep.

Sweet Fact ♥

Photography has been in my family for generations. My great-grandfather was a well-known portrait French photographer in Morocco. The sweetest twist? When my grandmother was just a baby, she had her portrait taken by her future father-in-law — long before they ever met. The photos still exists, look at them scanned here :) I’m proud to carry that legacy on, creating images your family will treasure for generations, too.

Captured.

Carried.

Cherished.

A family legacy

Mount wellington newborn family studio photography

About the studio

My studio is cosy and thoughtfully set up in my home, with professional lighting, high-quality backdrops, and everything needed to create timeless images. The magic doesn’t come from a big studio, but from care, light, and connection. And while I dream of building my own dedicated studio soon, this space already holds so many beautiful stories.

Located in Mount Wellington, Auckland, 1051
