When we work together, you're hiring more than a photographer or strategist — you’re gaining a creative partner. I’m all in with you.
Every partnership is unique, but the process starts the same: we meet, talk about your brand, and get on the same frequency. From there, we explore the best ways to collaborate — whether that’s refining your brand, creating content, or building a social media strategy.

An extension of photography, balancing high-quality visuals with the raw, in-the-moment energy of social media. iPhone reels will always have their place, but cinematic brand reels bring consistency, depth, and an emotional connection to your video presence.

While short-form video is my focus, I love collaborating on unique projects. Whether that’s brand campaigns, long-form storytelling, or something completely new.
If you have something in mind, let’s talk.

Your brand position defines how customers think, feel, and remember you. To build meaningful connections, we first need to know who we’re speaking to—their lifestyle, interests, and, most importantly, their motivations. When we identify your place in their world, we cut the guesswork, creating clarity not just for your audience but for your internal team. When your team understands the brand from the inside out, it naturally translates into everything you do.

Brand strategy is the roadmap from where you are today to where you want to be. While positioning is shaped by your audience’s perception, strategy is rooted in who you are. It aligns your mission, vision, and goals with your competitive advantage—establishing the foundation for brand and marketing decisions that feel intentional, not reactive.

I share my time between Queenstown, New Zealand, and Vancouver, Canada. But I’m always up for traveling wherever the project takes me.
Every project is unique, so the best way to get an accurate quote is to chat! Meeting early in the process cuts the guesswork and lets us explore what’s possible together.

I work with brands, businesses, and creatives who value thoughtful, story-driven visuals. My work spans brand campaigns, events, editorial shoots, lifestyle photography, and content creation for social media.
Whether you're launching something new, refreshing your brand, or just need images that truly reflect your vision, we’ll create something intentional, striking, and uniquely yours.
This depends on the project. Since I work with small teams rather than full-scale production crews, clients typically handle location scouting, talent, meals, props, styling, and communications. That said, I’m always here to offer guidance, recommendations, and insights! If you need hands-on support with production, I can step in for an additional cost (subject to availability). Let’s chat about what you need.
Hell nah. If you’re a startup, entrepreneur, or small business still finding your footing, I’ve got you. You don’t need all the answers before we start—part of the fun is helping you through the creative process. We’ll bring it all together as we go.

Yes! My full photography collection is available for licensing. This is a great option for tourism boards, communities, developers, and new businesses looking for high-quality visuals without scheduling a custom shoot.
It depends on the season, the project, and the medium. A good rule of thumb is a minimum of 4+ weeks for delivery. Need it sooner? A priority booking (rush rate) is available upon request.
The sooner, the better! My calendar fills up quickly, especially during peak seasons. If you have a specific timeline in mind, reach out as early as possible to secure your spot. For last-minute projects, I do my best to accommodate, and rush options are available when needed.
Every brand is unique, and so is the way we work together. However we find our rhythm, let’s take all the work you’ve put into building something meaningful—and capture it in its best light.
