PREMIER WEDDING + PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I have been photographing for over 14 years, for me it is about capturing who you are today a snapshot in time because by tomorrow we have grown, moved on, expanded our family, these are memories for them….

I am a wife to Mike, Mum to 3 teenage girls and I understand how busy life is and before you know it everybody is grown up. Our little family live on a farm in Northland, New Zealand, we lead a relatively simple life which we share with a very lazy cat, super energetic dog and a bunch of cows. When I am not photographing you will find me working on our land or at the side of a swimming pool (all 3 girls are competitive swimmers).
