My Story

I developed a passion for photography about the time i had children - countless photos at every available moment and with digital cameras this meant hundreds of photos clogging up my computer.
I have lived in Waimauku with my husband and 2 daughters for the past 23 years and as both my girls are into horse riding, i have spent many hours photographing them in all the beautiful locations close to home including Muriwai beach, Woodhill forest and countless equestrian events.

I joined Open2View 10 years ago and its the best occupation I've had so far as I've always had a keen interest in Real Estate, so coupled with my photography passion, its a win win for me.

I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people everyday and getting to see the huge spectrum of real estate within my area, which can be anything from a 2 bedroom box to a 6 bedroom mansion with all the trimmings.
It gives me great satisfaction taking photos of peoples biggest investment and creating a visual impact for potential buyers looking for their next dream home.

Alongside my standard photography i am also able to create 2d & 3d floorplans, immersive 3d walkthroughs and Aerial photography with my drone which is great for capturing lifestyle properties, or those with great views or close to water). Check my portfolio for samples of my work.

Hi Melissa
I really appreciate your being quick and efficient when I asked you for the photos for 13/485 Don Buck Road. I have 2 weeks to market the property before it goes under the hammer on 22/12/15, and your professionalism stood out.
Thank you so much for that.
With gratitude
