My interest in photography started when I received my first cheap plastic 35mm camera for my 12th birthday. Since then I have always been the family member behind the lens at family gatherings, birthdays, and events.

After finishing a double major degree in marketing and management, I spent 18 years in real estate sales in Wellington. I've renovated, bought, sold and invested in a number of homes over this time

For the last 10 years, I have had a fast-growing wedding and portrait photography side business that developed naturally out of my love of photography as a hobby. When a franchise opportunity came up with Open2view, I took the plunge and changed careers, becoming a full time creative merging my three skill sets - real estate sales, online marketing, and digital media.

I am a regular in the Open2view top ten achievers list nationally and in 2019 reached number 2 in Australasia.

I aim to push the photography and videography boundaries within the New Zealand real estate industry. I am constantly watching and learning from International trends in property photography and have actively embraced the new camera, drone, floorplan, and digital technologies that are emerging in this field.
