Local focus
Finding meaningful storytelling in Papakura, Franklin, Karaka, and across south Auckland
Natural settings
Events
When I say I work close to home, I mean it. Most of my sessions happen throughout Clevedon and the wider Franklin district. I photograph events in local venues, community spaces, and favourite family spots. What matters most is that you are comfortable—whether your event is in your backyard or a treasured local hall. Wherever it is held, my aim is to create photographs that reflect your real moments and surroundings, showing exactly where we work in Papakura and beyond.
Wildlife
For my animal and wildlife portraits, I feel most at home in forests, stream edges, seaside and your own gardens. I go wherever animals are happiest, creating images that tell their story right where they belong. From urban to rural settings. I always work in a relaxed, friendly way to help animals act naturally and bring out their unique personality. That's what makes where I work in Clevedon and beyond special.
Always present where stories unfold naturally
Each day offers a fresh chance to photograph real life, from the lively town centre to peaceful local streets. I enjoy capturing natural, meaningful images that reflect true moments.
