A wahine stepping into the Tēnei Au kaupapa at Whare Manaaki, here in Te Tai o Poutini.

Brave. Vulnerable. Willing to lean into the unknown.

Thank you for trusting me to capture this moment at the beginning of your journey. It was a privilege to witness and photograph.

West Coast Wonderland through the Mountains.
Chasing the light on our gorgeous Whenua.

This is what makes my heart sing.
Seeing the light flowing through the spaces in the horizon reminds me of the beauty that sits ever so close to the darkness.

Fresh mountain air, pockets of golden light, dusty pink glimmers in the horizon.

This is what it is all about.

Capturing these images of this ātaahua wahine with her taonga was an absolute privilege.

Sharing space with wahine in an environment that is mana enhancing nourishes the wairua.

Thank you for your trust in allowing me to step in this space at Whare Manaaki to capture the completion of the first intake of the Tēnei Au Kaupapa.

There is something incredibly powerful about witnessing transformation.

These images were a moment of reflection, a moment to pause and honour how far this wahine has come, her creations and celebration.
