Artistic portrait photography goes beyond simply taking a nice picture. It’s a guided process that helps you connect with yourself, reflect, and feel present before and during the session. The result is not only a portrait that looks like you, but one that feels like you.

As your photographer, I make intentional aesthetic and stylistic choices — considering light, atmosphere, mood, composition, and visual storytelling — so that your portraits carry both beauty and emotional depth.

Unlike traditional portrait sessions, I guide you through reflections, prompts, and creative activities before we even begin shooting. This process allows you to arrive more authentically, so your portraits capture not just your appearance, but your presence, emotion, and soul.

Tarot and astrology are offered only as optional reflective tools, if you choose to include them. They are used symbolically — as prompts for conversation, insight, and creative reflection.

I am not a professional tarot reader or astrologer. These tools are never predictive and are always optional.

The actual portrait session lasts between 25 and 45 minutes. We also allow time for a pre-session chat so you feel comfortable and grounded before the camera comes out.

You can book directly through the Bookings page on my website. Once you book, you’ll receive a welcome email and a short reflective questionnaire to begin shaping your session.

My portrait sessions start at $380. Packages include guided preparation, the photography session itself, and a selection of edited high-resolution digital images.

Yes. Every package includes high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery. Fine art prints (8x10) and additional digital files are available as add-ons.

After booking, you’ll receive a welcome email and a short reflective questionnaire to begin shaping your session. Then, we’ll begin with an intentional session via email and then a pre-session consultation (in person or online).

Depending on the portrait type you choose, this may include journaling, written reflections, or simple creative exercises. These steps help you arrive feeling grounded and present — you don’t need to prepare anything else.

Yes. While I am based in Wellington, New Zealand, I occasionally travel for sessions across the country. Travel fees may apply. Please get in touch to discuss availability.

Your portraits will be delivered digitally. You will be able to download your image files using a link.

Pre-session consultations and photo sessions are typically scheduled 1–2 months in advance, depending on availability.

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself.
It can be simple or expressive — soft or bold — there’s no right or wrong.
If you’d like guidance, I’m happy to offer suggestions during our consultation.

I work primarily with natural light, often outdoors or in environments connected to nature — such as parks, coastal areas, or wooded spaces.

Indoor sessions are also available, either in chosen locations or rented studios (subject to availability and additional cost).

Yes, your images are carefully edited for light, tone, and cohesion.
I aim to honour your natural presence rather than erase or over-retouch.

No. While many people describe the experience as meaningful or emotional, these sessions are creative and reflective, not therapeutic or clinical.
