My style of photography
I specialise in storytelling photography, capturing authentic moments that weave together the unique story of your day.
Whether it’s a wedding, family session, or branding shoot, I focus on the connections, emotions, and little details that make your story yours.
My goal is to create timeless images that let you relive your memories and share them for years to come.
Every photo has a story — let me tell yours.
About me
After living abroad for 15 years, from the busy streets of London to the shores of Bondi, I relocated back to New Zealand to settle in the beachside town of Matarangi. Having spent my summers in the Coromandel since childhood, it felt like the perfect place to raise my young family and call home.
Before starting my family, I thrived in the fast-paced corporate world, working in the spirits industry with Diageo and the media world with Seven Network—experiences I absolutely loved! With a lifelong passion for design and photography, I earned my Diploma in Commercial Arts from CATC Design School in 2012 and have since honed my skills through photojournalism and documentary photography courses.
Now, I’m lucky enough to combine my creative passions with my love for storytelling, capturing life’s most meaningful moments through my lens.
