Know Me

Hi, I’m Khalib Hickling—a passionate family photographer based in Christchurch. My journey behind the lens began with a love of storytelling and a desire to capture the authentic moments that make each family unique. As a parent myself, I know how quickly time flies and how important it is to preserve those fleeting smiles, silly faces, and tender connections.

My style is warm, relaxed, and candid. I believe the best photos come from genuine interactions: a shared laugh, a quiet cuddle, or a spontaneous burst of energy. Whether we’re exploring your favorite outdoor spot or making memories at home, I strive to create a fun, comfortable experience for the whole family.

Photography is my way of helping others celebrate life’s everyday magic. I feel truly honored to document the stories of families in our community and to provide images that will be treasured for generations.

Thank you for considering me to capture your family’s story. I look forward to meeting you and creating beautiful memories together!
