A maternity photo shoot can be an incredibly empowering experience for any parent to be. The way your body changes and the strength it takes to grow a tiny human is worth capturing. I loved working with Elyse, Brad and their beautiful dog on this West Coast Auckland beach. We managed to make the most of the sunset and capture some stunning, natural shots. It's always so much fun helping people feel beautiful and powerful. 

Empowerment shoots are for everyone. No matter the gender, colour, size, shape we all deserve to feel empowered, comfortable and loved in our bodies. It was such a pleasure to work with Ardon for this special shoot celebrating his journey to self love. Such stunning results! x

xThe 1970s vibe has my heart and I was so fortunate to find the perfect location and model to create this vintage style shoot in Port Waikato, Auckland. We managed to put together the perfect outfits for the perfect backdrop before moving down to the ocean to make these ethereal goddess inspired shots. This is just a small selection of what were able to capture on the day. You can see a couple of these images on gracing the walls Karangahape Road. x

A body is a work of art and that deserves to be celebrated. I loved working with the beautiful Jane on a stunning west coast beach to capture her beautiful, powerful and art-covered body. Empowerment shoots are all about capturing an essence of power, making people feel good and learning to accept and love their bodies in whatever form that may be. We are all a little different, so why not celebrate that by making some beautiful images to remember. 

Love comes in many forms, whether it be platonic, romantic, monogamous or poly-amorous, for a little while, or a life time. I am all about it! Shooting this special lake side romance shoot was a tone of fun, making the most of those long summer nights with friends, swims and good vibes. If you're looking to capture any kind of special relationship, get in touch to see how we can make this happen x 

It's hard to beat a stunning golden hour shoot when thinking about maternity photos. Aimee and I shot in a stunning location on the east coast of Auckland. We were so lucky to get such beautiful lighting on this gorgeous evening. Even if we did get a few sea lice bites in the process! Aimee later submitted these images into the "Bump & Me" magazine photography competition and our photo won a full spread in the mag and a whole load of awesome mum-to-be prizes for Aimee. Congrats to the beautiful mama. 

Pregnancy is a truly incredible time, and what your body goes through is kind of mind blowing. I love working with people who are experiencing the power and strength of what their bodies go through during pregnancy. And helping them to capture that feeling in photos, for generations to come with a maternity photoshooot. There's not many things worth celebrating more than the miracle of life! x 

While in Cuba for a work trip I organised a photo shoot with local guide and model Swany. Just after sunrise we roamed the streets of old town Havana, finding all the most photogenic corners of the city as a stunning back drop for this portrait shoot.

My first Auckland empowerment shoot for 2021 was with beautiful model Comfort. Having to drastically rearrange life in 2020 pushed me in a new direction as a photographer, and by the end of it I was suddenly sure of what I was meant to be doing. So it was an honor to shoot my first focused empowerment photo shoot with Comfort in New Zealand. I really felt like I had found my calling, and this was the first of many shoots I would be doing in 2021. These empowerment shoots not only empower the model, but leave me feeling empowered as a photographer too. I love to see the power of diversity shine through my lens. x 

It was such a pleasure to work with the beautiful pin up queen Andrea for this boudoir shoot. The Olivia Coleman lookalike made such a fabulous model for our empowerment shoot it was hard to pick my favourite shots. This fierce example of body love and positivity rocked all her most stunning lingerie and vintage wares for our special photoshoot. Want to make some photography magic with me in New Zealand?
