A decade behind the camera

Natural & unobtrusive

Yours to keep & share

The experience

The best events go by in a *blur.* Let me hold onto them.

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, family gathering or something entirely your own, these events deserve to be remembered. Based in Whangārei, across Northland.

I photograph with a natural, unobtrusive approach, so you can stay present and enjoy the day while I quietly capture it.

You get a warm, honest gallery of the people, the moments and the feeling of the day, to keep and share with everyone who was there.

Warm, relaxed, and quietly *everywhere.*

My style

How I work

I blend in and follow the flow of the day, catching the moments as they unfold.

What sets me apart

An eye for the small, fleeting moments that turn out to be the ones you treasure most.

Questions, answered

What kind of events do you photograph?

Anything personal and meaningful – birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, cultural celebrations, and private milestones. If it matters to you, I’ll be there to document it.

How many images will I receive?

It depends on the package and length of coverage, but you’ll always receive a carefully curated collection of fully edited images that tell the story of your event.

Do you travel for events?

Yes, I’m based in Whangārei and often travel around Northland (and further if needed). Travel costs may apply.

Can I book extra hours on the day if things run longer?

Absolutely. If the celebration goes on, I can stay longer. Extra hours are added at the package’s hourly rate.

When will I get my photos?

You’ll receive an online gallery within 4–6 weeks of your event, if not earlier, ready to download and share with family and friends.

Do you offer prints or albums?

Yes, prints, albums, and keepsakes can be added on if you’d like something tangible to remember the day by.
