Sometimes the images you weren’t planning to take become the ones you love the most.

I had just finished a maternity session at Papamoa and was on my way home when I stopped.

The light was just too beautiful to leave.

So instead of packing my camera away, I carried on photographing.

The Mount standing quietly in the distance, the soft evening light, and one lone surfer heading out into the ocean.

There was something so peaceful about that moment.

This has become one of my favourite images — not because it was planned, but because I stayed for the light.

One image. So many ways to experience it.

The beauty of photography as art is how differently it can live within a space. Change the room, the light, the styling or the mood - and suddenly the same photograph feels completely different.

From calm and minimal to warm and character filled, art has a way of becoming part of the story of a room.

Which setting would you choose for this image? ✨

There’s something special about stepping into this time of year… 🌅

Longer evenings, warmer light and those beautiful sunsets that make you want to slow down and take it all in.

These are the moments I love capturing — the colours, the calm and those little pieces of New Zealand that you wish you could keep forever.

If there’s a favourite view or sunset you’d love to bring into your home, my landscape photographs are available as prints and framed canvas, made to enjoy every day. 🤍

Here’s to more light, more sunsets and longer evenings ahead.

✨ Something a little more persona!?

You don’t have to choose from the standard pieces if you already have something special in mind.

I also create custom photography artwork, made to suit your space, your style, and the image you love. 🤍

Here are two custom pieces in my own home — one framed, and the other printed on plywood in my son’s room, chosen to fit in with his love of surfing 🌊🏄‍♂️

Both started with an idea for something a little different, and I love how personal they feel in their spaces.

So if you’ve seen a photo you love, have a particular size or finish in mind, or want something created specifically for your home, send me a message and let’s chat about what we can create.📸✨

Custom pieces are available by request. Link in bio.

Quiet Moments

Introducing a new collection of photographs inspired by stillness, light, texture, and the quieter side of nature.

From the warm, mysterious tones of Golden Shadows to the peaceful stillness of Balance by the Lake, these images are about finding beauty in simple moments and creating a sense of calm within a space.

Both photographs are now available in the collection — created for those who love understated, atmospheric imagery with a story to tell.

✨ Explore the collection and find a little stillness of your own. Link in Bio or head to www.tmphotographer.co.nz

Fire on the Water 🔥🌅

Nature’s own canvas — a sweep of red and amber cloud, a line of breaking waves, and a handful of birds caught mid-flight.

Captured at sunrise on Papamoa Beach, this fleeting moment of colour and movement is a little piece of the coast to bring into your home.

“Fire on the Water” is available as a digital download, print, or beautifully framed artwork.

🌊 From the coast, captured, to your walls — and now the coast, worn.

The coastline and nature has always been the inspiration behind my photography — the places, light, textures and beauty that keep drawing me back.

📸 Through Tarsha Mehrtens Photography, you can bring these coastal moments home as prints or framed photographs.
And now, some of these images have found another way to be enjoyed — featured on Offshore Store hoodies & tees, bringing the coastline into what you wear every day.

Two ways to connect with the coast. One shared love for nature, the ocean and the beautiful places that inspire us.

A little something I’ve been looking forward to sharing… 📸

My recent post mentioned that I was now offering prints of my photography — and I’m excited to say the website is officially live! 🎉

You can now browse the collection and choose from digital download, prints, and beautifully framed products, all available directly through the website.

It’s great to finally have everything in one place and ready to share with you.

If you’ve got a favourite image, feel free to have a look — you might just find one you’d love to have on your wall. 🤍

Thanks so much for following along and supporting my photography. It genuinely means a lot.

I’ve been a little quiet here lately, but for good reason. A full time job doesn’t leave you with much time! But I’ve recently stepped away from my day job to make space for something I’ve missed for a long time—creating.

Photography has always been more than just taking pictures for me. It’s about slowing down, finding beauty in the everyday, and sharing the moments that make us stop for a second. It’s why I fell in love with it in the first place.

To celebrate this new chapter, I’m excited to say that my prints are back.

You can now purchase my images as high-resolution digital downloads, ready to print however you choose. If you’d prefer something ready to hang, send me a message and I’d be happy to help organise professional printing and framing to suit your space.

These are a few of my faves, scroll through 🌿

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me, encouraged me, and followed along over the years. It means more than you know. Here’s to creating more, sharing more, and seeing where this journey leads.

If a photo speaks to you, I’d love for it to find a place in your home, wellness space, air bnb - where ever you think it might fit perfectly ✨
