Classically beautiful portrait & wedding photography...

(for people who know the importance of love and family)

Hi, I'm Stacey...

I'm here to create beautiful images, which tell your story and fill your heart.

I'm an NZIPP Master of Photography with Distinction, based in Christchurch and was New Zealand's Professional Family Photographer of the Year in 2022... and I LOVE to photograph people. I offer beautiful and emotive family, wedding, maternity and couples photography - and then help you turn this into gorgeous wall art for your home.

My photography is about capturing love and connections, grand stories and small intimate moments.  My images are natural and relaxed, and incorporate the natural beauty of the places around us we call 'home'.  

My goal is to give you an amazing experience to remember and beautiful photos you and your loved ones will be proud of.

Sounds perfect for you? Contact me now for further information or to book a call.

Stacey :)

On Location Photography

Beautiful New Zealand

I believe that we are most happy and relaxed when we are surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. That's why when I'm photographing people I try to find the best spots and include as much scenery as possible. I think it lifts our spirits and feeds our soul - and this shines through in your photos.
