Work With Us 
Hello & Welcome.

My name is Emma. I am based in Taranaki and work with brands and publications across New Zealand to tell their stories through photography (brand, food & portrait), food styling, recipe development, and videography.

With a background in industrial design, I bring a strong sense of composition, colour and form to my work and my mastery of natural light adds depth and warmth. I capture a brand’s essence by getting to know the people behind it, creating authentic content that resonates with your audience.

  • "Emma is amazing to work with. She has a great eye for detail and really captures the images we are looking for. I would highly recommend Emma if you are looking for product imagery to enhance your brand."

    —Rachelle Tapara, My Raw Pet

  • "Doing a photo shoot with Emma was sensational! I struggle with photo shoots, but Emma made it easy and natural. She is encouraging and warm-hearted and I found myself opening up and trying new things. We managed to cover my clinic, garden and the Beach. It was fantastic to get a range of shots in a short period of time."

    —Nicola Swanson, Earth Sourced Naturpath.

  • "Emma advised us on a fresh, bright style using pops of orange which magazine editors loved. We particularly loved how she captured the light over the day and took interesting angles we hadn’t thought of. Delivery was quick and straightforward, and her prices were competitive. We’d use her again in a heartbeat!"

    —Phill Badger, Fieldcraft.
