Creating life—within you or with the one you love—is one of the most beautiful, magical things on earth.
I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.
HONOURED TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE
so you can be & feel authentically you
No one has walked your path or lived your life.
And that’s the beauty of capturing your moments—to remember what once was and to celebrate what’s to come.
To be welcomed into your life and transform your story into art you’ll treasure forever is a privilege I’ll never take for granted.

My number one goal before your session is to genuinely get to know you on a personal level—understanding what matters most to you and what you hope to achieve.
Because your photoshoot will be 100% centred around you—your vision, your story—it’ll allow us to co-create and capture each moment through your eyes.
The result? Images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful and personal.
Through thoughtful questionnaires, careful planning, and pre-session consultations, you’ll feel empowered and excited about what’s to come: a once-in-a-lifetime experience that feels authentic and true to you.
With everything planned for you, you can simply show up, relax, and enjoy your experience—without any stress or planning required.
From styling tips to location suggestions, you’ll feel completely at ease from the moment we connect.

Combining my passion for nature and photography, you can trust me to help you find the most epic locations (and the best times of day) to serve as a breathtaking backdrop for your memories.

Rest assured, I’ll gently guide you through every step, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot.
There will never be an awkward moment because you’ll be too busy having fun and enjoying yourself.

With over 17 years of experience capturing wonderful people from all works of life and a BA in photography, creating art is my greatest joy.
You won’t just receive a gallery of images—you’ll receive a collection of art that tells your one-of-a-kind story.

As an open-minded introvert, I naturally notice the little details, embrace the beauty of the moment, and connect deeply in more intimate settings—this allows me to create photographs that truly feel meaningful and thoughtful.
Pro tip: Tell me your best dad joke, and we’ll be instant friends.
I grew up in Berlin, Germany, but have made New Zealand my home over the last 12+ years (time really flies).
Being near the ocean always fills me with joy.
I used to surf—very badly—when I was living in Australia, but I loved every single second.
You’ll find me trekking somewhere in the wild.
I’m an avid hiker and love exploring hidden trails across the backcountry, which is how I gather endless location inspiration for shoots with stunning natural backdrops!
Whatever chapter you're in, your story is worth celebrating—worth remembering. Through your eyes, I’ll artfully capture life’s most meaningful moments, curating a deeply personalised experience for you and yours. Because your time with me should feel just as intentional and unforgettable as the images themselves.
And every time you catch a glimpse of your photos on the wall, you’ll be transported back—right to the way you felt in that moment.
This is the art of us.
