Bio
Photography & Creation
Queenstown-based, award-winning photographer with a background in nursing and a lifelong passion for creativity. By day, she works in a specialised surgical setting; outside the hospital, she steps behind the lens to capture the beauty in everyday moments.
Entirely self-taught, she has grown her craft through the years of practice, dedication, workshops, and courses – turning curiosity into skill and passion into purpose. Her photography style is rooted in storytelling, emotion, and connection.
She specialises in adventure and lifestyle photography, drawn to the raw beauty of untamed landscapes and the scenes of freedom that comes with exploring the unknown. Whether it’s a windswept beach, a quiet mountain trail, or a fleeting look between loved ones, her images aim to capture both the moment and the feeling behind it – honest, timeless, and full of soul.

My photography is a reflection of the way I see the world: warm, intentional, and full of wonder. I’m drawn to natural light, unscripted moments, and the spaces in between – the ones where real connection happens.
