One of the greatest pleasures of photography for me is when I look through the lens of my camera and see the beauty of the person and capture that natural moment. When you see my photos you will know what I mean.
I was born and raised in Timaru and moved to Auckland in 1998. I have always enjoyed photography and I am self taught. I have so many photo albums from growing up, so many special memories and shows at an early age, the love I have for photography.
My family moved to Valencia, Spain in 2005, and while raising my 2 boys and supporting my husband with his career, I launched my photography business. In Valencia I worked with many international families involved with the America's Cup and local Spanish families. Like Auckland, Valencia has many beautiful backdrops which I utilized in my images.
Now living back in Auckland since the end of 2009, I am so excited that I can continue my business and have the opportunity to work with families in this beautiful place I call home. I have had the pleasure photographing 100's of families, lots of children at daycares and many companies. I absolutely love photographing weddings, so far capturing the special day for over 100 couples, with more booked in the next 14 months. I love my job! So many of my clients are regulars and because of my affordable sessions, I see them every year.
When I am not clicking away on my camera, you will find me refereeing on a football pitch, or playing or umpiring softball.
Softball is my sporting passion and play for East Coast Bays Softball Club in the Prem Reserve Women's team as well as the Wildcats Div 1 team. I also coach and am have my Level 4 national badge in umpiring. I've also been on the Board for the North Harbour Softball Association since 2019.
I have been refereeing football for 10 years for Northern Region Football which I got into because of my two boys when they were playing. Even though they have given up playing, I still enjoy refereeing and still at a high level (when I can pass the dreaded fitness test ;-))
I've enjoyed many challenges completed many half marathons, 1 marathon, half Ironman and load of cycle races.
