My kids will forever be my favourite subjects.
Not because they’re easy to photograph (often they’re not).
Not because they cooperate (well, sometimes they do).
But because somewhere along the way, they changed the way I see.
I’ve always loved light and storytelling and beautiful imagery. But these two taught me that the photos I treasure most aren’t always the perfect ones.
They’re the ones that feel like us.
The photos that tell the story of them, the sports they play, the teams they support, their favourite colour, that thing with their hair, and the beautiful brotherly bond that they share.
And no matter how much this business grows, I’ll never stop documenting these ordinary, fleeting seasons of their childhood too.
Exactly as they are 🥰

Kindness matters. In classrooms, on sports fields, online, at home, and in all the little moments in between.

Teaching our kids to to lead with kindness, include others, and speak up for people matters just as much as anything else we teach them 💗

Who’s joining us to wear pink today? Today and everyday, we are celebrating diversity and doing our part to spread kindness & reduce bullying.

Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora
Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!

P.S. He’s rocking pink, huh?

It was my absolute privilege to photograph the Mercury Bay Ladies Pink Ribbon Lunch back in March, organised by the wonderful Baker at Bayleys.

With the support of our incredible community and a raft of generous sponsors, Alana raised an remarkable $31,813 for Pink Ribbon and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ — a cause that touches so many families and helps fund vital research, education, and support for those navigating breast cancer.

Adding to the success of her previous events spanning the past six years, Alana and the Whitianga community have now raised a staggering total of $104,394 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Congratulations, Alana & team — you have made our community so very proud!

Happy Mother's Day ✨

A little reminder to step into the frame sometimes. These photos aren’t about perfection — they’re about remembering this season of life, exactly as it is.

Holding a little extra tenderness today for families missing their mum, or navigating Mother’s Day with grief close by 🕊🤍

Big love to all the mums and mum figures out there, you are all truly amazing 💖

Oh hey 👋🏼

It’s been a little quiet around here lately. Not because I haven’t been working — quite the opposite really. Behind the scenes I’ve been shooting, collaborating, learning, growing… and, if I’m honest, also trying to figure out how to build a business without running myself completely into the ground.

Somewhere along the way, my socials just stopped getting attention while I focused on everything happening behind the scenes. But there’s been so much goodness lately that I really want to start sharing again ✨

These images are from a recent branding shoot with Mettley — a Whitianga-based business helping service-based business owners with bookkeeping, marketing, and consulting support. Their whole approach is about helping businesses grow sustainably, with systems and support that actually make life easier — something I think a lot of small business owners can relate to needing.

Chelsie wanted a fresh library of images for her website and socials, so we spent a half day creating content that felt warm, professional, approachable, and true to her brand. Such a fun shoot, and one of those collaborations that leaves you feeling inspired afterwards.

If you’re a business owner who’s feeling stretched a bit thin, it's definitely worth checking them out www.mettley.co.nz 💛

Anyway… consider this my gentle return to socials ✨
