Hi!

​

I started my creative life studying Fine Art at art college. Putting my degree on hold to travel the world , I went on to manage a contemporary art gallery for 6 years.

 

I began my career as a stock photographer after having my first child. Being at home and a keen hobbyist photographer I applied, they sold and the rest is history.

 

I remember being told when I was young ‘if you want to be successful in life, do something you love’. And it is true because what I do does not seem like work, it is something I just do and love. I live my life with my children in one hand and my camera in the other, both which I love, and which fulfill my life.

​

Shooting stock photos, I am passionate about New Zealand. My work aims to capture it’s essence. I see beauty everywhere I look. I strive to capture and convey the beauty I see around me…. The perfect natural light of native flora, the iconic New Zealand scenery, the simplistic childhood, relaxed lifestyle and the culture.

​

I specialise in things that are essentially Kiwi; the vibrant Pohutakawa that speaks ‘summer’ for every Kiwi, jandals on the beach, the iconic  cabbage tree in a New Zealand landscape and the New Zealand flax, be it in a landscape or woven in a background. It’s the little things that speaks volumes about what country we live in. No matter where we travel in the world, when we see these things we think of home.

​

My vision is to capture our place we call home; what life looks like living in New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud. Our people, our society, and our environment; things that are important to us as Kiwis.
