About Wiritoa

Photos of the real stuff, in a space made for families.

We started Wiritoa Studio because we wanted Whanganui families to have a place of their own for photos. Somewhere warm and relaxed, where the kids can be kids, nobody has to perform, and you walk out with images that feel like you.

Most of all we want it to be somewhere you come back to. The newborn photos, then the first birthday, then the Christmas pop in when they've lost their front teeth. Year by year, a record of how your family grew.

The studio opens its doors in 2027. Until then, join the list and we'll let you know as soon as bookings open.

What to expect

Unhurried, warm, and made for little people.

No stiff poses

We guide you gently and leave room for the in between moments, which are usually the ones you end up framing.

ii.

Built for kids

A warm studio, time for breaks and snacks, and no rush if someone needs a minute. Tantrums are welcome too.

iii.

Year after year

Come back for each new stage and build a collection of photos that grows up alongside your family.
