Behind the Lens

What types of photography do you specialise in?

I specialise in food, product, lifestyle, and brand photography, working with businesses that care about quality and connection. From styled food shoots to brand portraits and creative product imagery, I focus on visuals that speak to your ideal customer.​

Where are you based, do you travel or work remotely?

I'm based in Hamilton, New Zealand, and yes, I travel! Whether your business is in Waikato or further afield, I’m available to shoot on location or remotely. Travel fees may apply outside Hamilton.​

How do I book a photography session with you?

Start by getting in touch through my contact page, book a complimentary call and I’ll guide you through the process, from discussing your goals and mood-board ideas to shoot day and final delivery.​​

Can you help with creative direction or styling?

Absolutely. I'm experienced in lighting, art direction, food styling, and brand storytelling, I bring more than just photography to the table. I’m happy to help refine your concept, source props, and create scroll-stopping imagery. If you already have a brief, that's super helpful, and if not, I’m happy to help you create one!​

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. I regularly work with agencies and high-end brands for national and international campaigns, providing a seamless experience from brief to delivery. I’m experienced in remote collaboration and can adapt to your processes.​

Do you work with restaurants & hospitality brands?

Yes, regularly! I offer restaurant photography sessions that capture your dishes, drinks, team, and interiors. These sessions are great for updating your website, social media, or menus with fresh, professional visuals.​

What should we expect from a photo session?

Sessions are organised but relaxed. I’ll arrive prepared with a clear plan and the gear required for the project, and I stay flexible to capture what matters most. Expect collaboration, creativity, and an eye for the little details that elevate your visuals.​

Do you offer photography for e-commerce?

Yes. I capture clean, consistent e-commerce photography for online stores, as well as creative campaign imagery for launches. Whether you need styled flat-lays or pack shots for your products, I’ve got you covered.​

How are the final images delivered?

You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download the images after selecting your favourites. If your session includes a set number of edited images, you can also purchase extras.​

Can you also create reels or short-form video content?

Yes! I offer short video and reel creation as an add-on service. These work beautifully alongside your photography to boost your brand’s online visibility and engagement. Popular content creation options include stop-motion videos and behind-the-scenes. ​

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. For larger campaigns and sessions, more lead time is even better, it gives us time to prep, plan, and meet your deadlines. That said, don’t hesitate to ask for my availability. I can sometimes accommodate a quick turnaround depending on my schedule.​​

Can you source models or locations if needed?

Yes. I’m happy to help source talent/models, props, backdrops or locations. Or you’re welcome to provide your own. We’ll plan it all together based on your goals and budget.​

Do you offer retouching or editing services?

Yes, part of my training is picture editing. All final images are professionally edited, with colour correction, cropping, and attention to detail. I aim for a polished but natural look that aligns with your brand.​

What make your services a good investment?

I blend creativity with commercial strategy, meaning every photo looks great, but also helps you reach your business goals. Clients say I bring a calm, thoughtful energy to sessions, with a sharp eye for detail, lighting and storytelling. If you're after photography that connects with your audience and aligns with your brand, let's work together.
