About me
I’m a photographer who believes that the most beautiful things in life aren’t staged they’re felt.
As a mother to two young boys, I live in the beautiful chaos every day. I know the energy, the play, and that bittersweet ache of wishing they’d stay this small just a little longer.
My goal isn’t just to take a photo; It is to capture the feeling and the magic of who you are.
A session with me is an invitation to step into:
Couples: to step into the heart of your love story; capturing the raw chemistry and bond.
Family: your children’s world of play, and the quiet, tender moments that connect you all.
Whether we are documenting an elopement, a growing bump, or the wild joy of family life. I create the space for you to just "be". I’ll guide you along the way, but I’m mostly there to capture the breathtaking, unscripted beautiful moments the ones you can hang on your walls and treasure even more ten years from now.
I work almost exclusively in the natural environment. There’s a certain honesty in the outdoors that you just can't find in a studio. My sessions are relaxed and never rushed; I usually spend about an hour with you so everyone has time to feel relaxed and get comfortable.
My mission: I’m passionate about making professional photography available to everyone; I keep my rates low because I believe that every family deserves beautiful memories that last a lifetime.
Fun Fact: I’m actually a Registered Architect, but my creative journey also included studying photography at the University of Auckland. Once I became a mother, I found myself wanting to document every moment of my children growing up. It was through many friends wanting their photos captured too; Golden Petals Photography was born est 2021.
