About
Hi, I’m Ivana ~ the photographer behind Mini Studio.
For over 10 years, I’ve had the honour of photographing babies and motherhood, creating timeless, minimalist portraits from my private Nelson studio and on location.
Mini Studio offers two types of sessions ↓
Mini Sessions run monthly and as special events throughout the year. These are short, simple, and ideal for marking the little milestones that pass quickly. It’s an easy, affordable way to keep your family photos up to date, and many families return month after month to build a beautiful collection as their children grow.
Full Sessions are for the slower, more intimate seasons of motherhood: maternity, newborn, and family. These sessions give us space to tell your story and are fully customised to your family. The big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between. Every Full Session includes access to my client wardrobe and full styling assistance, with the option of studio, in-home, or on-location.
You can explore upcoming sessions, book a Mini, or enquire directly

A maternity photoshoot was definitely out of my comfort zone, but Ivana made me feel relaxed and beautiful from start to finish. I am so thankful that I have found a local photographer with a kind down-to-earth nature that radiates through into her work.
Thanks again =)

We were looking for a local photographer and a friend recommended Ivana. She was warm, professional, and instantly put us at ease. Her patience and calm approach with our little girl were incredible - she truly is a baby whisperer. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we’ll treasure them forever. We couldn’t recommend her more.

Ivana is so talented! We could not be happier with our experience with her. She was professional, yet so warm, friendly and welcoming and was absolutely amazing with our newborn. I wouldn’t look anywhere else; we have found our family photographer now.

Ivana was absolutely amazing to work with – she was able to assure me that my crazy children would be captured perfectly running wild and calmed my nerves! She knew of amazing locations for our family photos and captured the most beautiful pictures of myself and my children. Thank you so much Ivana for capturing my children’s personalities perfectly and creating beautiful memories for us!
