Portrait Photography

A portrait of a woman shot from the waist up against a beautiful green backdrop of rimu trees. She has her arms crossed and is wearing a dark blue knit dress.

Portrait photography can take the form of more formal photographs taken in a studio, or portraits shot in context, such as one’s workspace or home. It all depends on the story or message you want to capture and share and I can work with you to establish what would work best for you.

I am an empathetic and kind person and find joy in connecting with my clients. This enables a sense of trust helping the client to feel relaxed in front of the camera. In that magic moment their true selves emerge and shine through in their photographs.

With seven years experience working as an industrial designer in the Brand & Industrial Design team at Fisher & Paykel Appliances, I have the skills and knowhow to capture your brand and its story. When you share it with the world it will not only speak for itself, it will shine.

I work both locally here in Taranaki as well as across New Zealand.
