Property • Architecture • Real Estate • Lodges • Commercial Buildings • Airbnb and Holiday Homes​ Photography

I’m based in the Bay of Islands in the Far North and specialise in photographing real estate, interiors, architecture and holiday accommodation. I have been shooting professionally for over 20 years and have a keen eye for detail and a unique way of thinking about space, design and architecture. I am a passionate creative and believe in empowering my clients to see the potential in each project that we collaborate on together. I look forward to working with you. Check out more information about my Real Estate Photography options below! I provide photography to the Bay Of Islands, Kerikeri, Paihia, Kawakawa, Whangarei, Russell, Hokianga, Kaitaia, Far North and surrounding areas.

Why Professional Property Photography?

My photography style focuses on the natural ambience of a space. I’m not interested in over-processed, wide-angle trickery that makes everything look bigger but somehow emptier. I’m about clean composition, true-to-life light, thoughtful angles, and the kinds of details that make people pause.

Every shoot includes –

  • An on-site session (planned around natural light for the best result)
  •  High-resolution images professionally edited with an ambient, editorial, modern look
  •  Quick turnaround, because time matters, especially with listings
  • A calm and efficient presence on the day (I’ll respect your time, your space, and your broom cupboard):

Who is this for?

•  Real estate agents who know that listings live or die by the first image

Airbnb or holiday home hosts who want their property to stand out in a sea of sameness

Interior designers or stylists ready to show off their latest work

Builders, architects, or developers wanting a sharp portfolio

Homeowners preparing to sell or just wanting beautiful photos of the space they’ve poured so much into.
