Photographer.

Storyteller.

Creative.

Photographer. Storyteller. Creative. Mother. Home school teacher. And fierce advocate for equity and understanding.

I am Kerry and I live with my 2 kids, the world’s worst fetch playing dog, and a cat who is meaner than Scarface Claw, 2 quail, and a duck who is the top link in the animal chain, in the sunny South Otago town, Milton. I do my photoshoots all over Otago, and New Zeaand, yet I am truly blessed to have endless locations available on my back doorstep to venture into with my camera in hand.

Always passionate about photography, it was a twist in my life’s journey that saw me turn my hobby into a business. For the past 5yrs I have been capturing love, life and everything in between. And I have loved every minute of it! Last year I was lucky to work alongside a group of other creatives globally for a project for Disney which was a fantastic opportunity to be part of.

I love the way an image can take you right back to the moment. How it can reignite in your senses what you felt at that moment in time, with the smells, sounds and emotions coming back to life within you.

I love working alongside my clients to bring their creative vision to life. Leaving them to relax and enjoy the moments while the magic is captured around them giving them memories they will treasure forever.
