When I thought about how to introduce myself to Palmerston North, I kept coming back to these photos of me and my beautiful friend Grace. What makes these photos powerful to me is that they’re about friendship, faith, joy, hope, presence, and connection — the things at the heart of who I am.
I’m Phoebe — the photographer behind Focus Fusion — and I’ve just moved to Palmerston North. I’m slowly finding my rhythm here… exploring photo spots, trying new cafés, and visiting a few local churches as I look for a community to settle into. I wonder if any of you have recommendations for me 👀
My photography style is warm, natural, and connection‑focused — the kind of ease you see in these photos.
And with the heart of these photos in mind — and with May being Brain Cancer Awareness Month — it feels right to gently share Grace’s Givealittle page. She’s navigating a grade 3 brain tumour with so much courage, and I’m constantly inspired by the way she chooses to approach this season… all while loving, supporting, and cheering on the people around her, myself included ❤️ https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/a-life-lived-now
Thanks for reading, I'm excited to see what this new chapter holds!
