Let's Chat

Whether you’re planning your wedding, a family session, or something a little more personal — I’d love to hear from you.

Keep it simple. Tell me a little about what you’re dreaming of, and I’ll take it from there.

Tell me about your story

I'm enquiring about

Once you’ve sent your enquiry, I’ll get back to you within 1–2 days.

From there we can:

  • check your date

  • talk through ideas

  • figure out what session suits you best

  • answer any questions

No pressure, no obligation — just a relaxed chat to see if we’re the right fit.

What happens next?

About me

I’m based in Waikato and photograph weddings, families, couples, and boudoir sessions across New Zealand.

I’m a mum of three, a dairy farmer, and life is usually a mix of cameras, kids, and chaos — so I completely understand how full and fast life can be. That’s probably why I’m drawn to capturing real, unposed moments that actually feel like you.

My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but I’m not here to over-direct or turn your day into a production. The best images happen when people feel comfortable enough to just be themselves.

Whether it’s a wedding day, a newborn cuddle, a quiet moment between a couple, or something a little more personal like boudoir — I’m there to capture things honestly, as they unfold.

A quick note...

Weekends are usually dedicated to weddings, families, and kids’ sports, with Mondays set aside for admin and emails.

If you haven’t heard back from me within a couple of days, please feel free to send me another message — sometimes things can land in spam or get missed on busy days.

I’ll always get back to you.
