Services

We Serve Creatives

If our vision aligns, we’ll sell you our artistic souls. 

From high-end editorial to milestone moments and small business shoots, we’ve sketched our packages to suit your needs. 

Can they be tweaked? Yes. 

But you’ll have to light our creative hearts on fire first.

Our difference

We’re a multiservice, boutique studio with professional hair, makeup, styling and photography. 

Say goodbye to piecemeal teams and moving parts, we’re your landing place for a magical, stress-free and streamlined shoot.

NB: The Hedera team of 3 can be available to travel to your location, but highly recommends a visit to the undiscovered tourist capital of NZ: Timaru.

Our Process

1. Concept
Style. Vibe. Moodboards. Pinterest. Inspiration. Colours. Light. Location. Makeup. Hair. Props. Styling.

We start dreaming out the rough edges of the shoot, never dialling in with precision, though, because we love to leave space for the organic evolution of the shoot and following stages.
2. Plan & Prep
Here’s where we do all the hard work: organising the details, assembling the team and doing our recon on your favourite snacks.

We’ll source the models (if you don’t have your own), scout for locations, create custom backdrops and set the parameters for the deliverables.

Prep’s up next with our team working their wizardry on makeup, hair and styling. We snap a few behind-the-scenes shots for your social media, finetune our lighting setup and make sure everything meets our painfully high standards.
3. Shoot
Let the fun begin.

Annnnd, action! Once shooting begins, we’ll have tethered image capture for you to review shots in real-time on a bigger screen, make selections and ratings and give us your two cents on what you’re seeing. Happy with makeup? Fabric looking ok? Any unexpected distractions? 

We’ll push the creative boundaries, experiment and obsess over lighting to get you the shots.
4. Delivery & Editing
We’ll provide a proofing gallery to narrow down your deliverable images. Any selections you made on shoot day will be marked, so it’ll be easy to remember your favourites. We can provide suggestions at this point, or leave it to you.

Editing’s where we sprinkle the stardust: anything from a light touch through to full magazine retouching. We’re all about natural beauty and texture, but we still love to push for depth and vibrancy.

After that? Final images are yours in all their divine glory.

"Hedera Studio is without a doubt the best and most professional photo studio i have worked with. From start to finish everything was made very easy. The concept, hair, make up and the images were absolutely perfect."
