Creating natural portraits within beautiful natural environments.
A successful photograph to me is most importantly natural – the sitters totally at ease and themselves with their own uniqueness shining through. My mission is to capture the essence of each life, and photographing outdoors with natural light in a beautiful natural environment brings out the best in people and creates gorgeous images. We have with so many stunning locations here in NZ and the great outdoors such an important part of our lives and memories – especially childhood ones – so creating portraits within these fabulous places seems only natural.
I’m committed to producing beautiful and connective images that you and your family will treasure forever.
Portraits of Children
To take great photos of children you need to understand kids, love kids, remember what it is like to be a child, to be a bit of a big kid yourself. I understand that each child is unique, some are quiet, some adventurous, some shy, some have boundless confidence, some are bookworms, some dancers, runners, creative, technological whizzes, fun, spirited, have a quiet strength, are mischeivious or all of the above! It’s that uniqueness that I aim to capture.
Portraits of Teenagers
Teenagers. They are awesome! The energy, the possibilities, their whole life in front of them. I have one teenager now and will soon have two. I regularly photograph them doing things they love to do. It’s recording the story of an important time in their lives. Not only do parents, grandparents get great images but your teenager will receive images of themselves looking amazing that they can share with their friends. We all know how important that is, right!
Portraits of Dancers
Dance is an important part of many young lives. I work with dancers to create images that reflect the joy, strength, poise, courage, grace and confidence that dancing brings. These sessions are all about creating fine art images that will grace your walls or album for many years to come.
