How To Work With Me
Every experience I create is custom-designed — shaped around you, your story, your business, your energy, and what you want to create.
I work slowly, intentionally, and with deep care and connection.
Here’s how the process unfolds.
Step 1 — Get in Touch
Start by filling out the client inquiry form on my website.
This helps me understand what you’re drawn to and whether we’re the right fit before we begin.
Step 2 — Let’s Chat
We’ll have a complimentary 15-minute phone or Zoom call.
This is a relaxed kōrero — a chance to connect, ask questions, and explore ideas.
We may talk about:
• Creative portrait experiences
• Personal branding or business storytelling
• Professional or corporate photography
• Signature brand experiences
Studio or outdoors?
Soft and intimate or bold and expressive?
This is where we begin feeling into what’s calling you.
Step 3 — Planning Consultation (Required)
All photography experiences require a planning consultation before booking is confirmed.
1-hour in-studio consultation — $180 + GST
This is one of the most powerful parts of the entire process.
It is where we slow everything down and intentionally design your experience together.
During this space we explore:
• Styling and wardrobe
• Kākahu or special taonga
• Location ideas
• Light, mood, and storytelling direction
• How you want to be seen and represented
• Business goals (for branding clients)
• Product and artwork planning (for creative portrait clients)
This consultation is educational, collaborative, and deeply personal. It allows us to build trust, clarity, and creative alignment before we step into the photography experience.
It also gives both of us space to ensure we are the right fit to work together.
Because every experience is custom designed, full investment options are explored during your consultation once we understand what you want to create together.
Step 4 — Your Photography Experience
Once we’ve connected and completed your planning consultation, we design a photography experience aligned with your vision, story, and purpose.
I offer several creative pathways to work together:
Creative Portraiture
Professional & Corporate Identity
Brand Storytelling & Visibility
Signature Brand Experiences
Weddings
Creative Mentorship
Creative Portrait Experiences

For portraits, boudoir, motherhood, whānau, and fine art storytelling.

Creative portrait sessions follow a full-service, print-first model.

Once your gallery is ready, you’ll return to the studio for a private in-person reveal and ordering appointment where you can choose:
• Fine art prints

• Digital collections (optional)
Hero wall art starts from $1,087.

I believe deeply in print — there is something incredibly powerful about seeing yourself honored in a physical form.
