Meet Vanessa

Tauranga-based photographer capturing honest moments and meaningful details.
About Vanessa

With over 20 years behind the lens, my journey began in videography — telling stories through motion and emotion. Over time, I found my true home in photography, where a single frame can hold both connection and clarity. Today, I specialise in creating imagery that feels authentic, relaxed, and thoughtfully composed.

Whether it’s a wedding, a business headshot, a beautiful space, or a commercial campaign, I bring a calm, detail-focused approach that puts people at ease — especially in moments that feel vulnerable, like being in front of the camera. Clients often tell me they felt comfortable and seen, even if they were nervous to start. For me, that’s the heart of good photography: making space for people to be themselves.

I work with clients across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty who value story, quality, and intention — from couples and creatives to small business owners and architects. Whatever the project, I’m here to listen, guide, and create images that reflect who you are and what matters most.

Whether it’s a quiet portrait or a dynamic shoot, I’m here to tell your story with care, creativity, and intention.

Good photography shouldn’t feel difficult — I aim to make the process simple, thoughtful, and relaxed.
