How trips work

Trips

We announce each trip about three months ahead. A session on a trip works just like one anywhere else: a planning call, a 45 to 60 minute session at your home or a place you love, then your design consultation online. There are no travel fees.

Booking

Send us an enquiry with your town, and we’ll find a time with you on the trip that suits.

    Rainer

    Founder & Photographer

    Rainer founded Little Things after more than ten years photographing families, pets and weddings around New Zealand. Early on he noticed that the best moments were usually the ones involving the dog: the toddler wrestling the retriever, the old lab quietly watching from the shade. He now travels the country on regular trips, so families everywhere can have them on their walls.

    Client Experience

“They say pictures are worth a thousand words... the ones Rainer did for us spoke 10,000 words. Thank you for capturing our little family so candidly and authentically. Looking at the photos brings us joy and we will treasure them for years to come.”
