Welcome to NORĐ Empire XII, our portrait studio located at 12 Empire Street, Dannevirke. Here, we create thoughtfully designed portrait experiences, from our rotating Mini Session Collections—available for a limited time throughout the year—to relaxed Signature Studio Sessions that are personally styled around you with more time to create a truly bespoke collection. Our studio is also home to our newborn photography experiences, all created with the same attention to detail and timeless aesthetic.
Beyond the studio, we also offer on-location portrait sessions for families, couples, children, and personal branding, using New Zealand's beautiful landscapes as the backdrop to your story. If you're looking for professional headshots or corporate photography, these can be booked through our Events & Corporate page. Here you can explore our previous work, book your portrait experience, and get in touch if you have any questions. Wherever your session takes place, our focus remains the same: creating authentic, timeless photographs you'll treasure for generations.
Styled Studio Sessions
Our Studio Collections are thoughtfully designed and styled in-house, creating unique portrait experiences that change throughout the year. Each collection has its own atmosphere, colour palette, and story — from timeless textures and natural elements to seasonal experiences created for special moments. Choose between our Mini Sessions for a beautifully curated shorter experience, or our Signature Sessions for a more relaxed and personalised studio experience designed around you.
