I love capturing all the moments - big and small!
Kia ora, I'm Kerri!
I am a mother, a wife and a creative. A proud Ngati Hau gal born and raised in Northland. I now live in the Waikato, where I have been for the last 10 years.
I have a passion for people and love creating magical moments. My goal is to capture your genuine moments and provide you with treasured images where you feel your best self.
I know how special my job is and I am excited about each opportunity where you invite me into your life to help you preserve your memories.
I can't wait to chat x
Get to know me
- I'm a mum to two beautiful babies - I have a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old girl
- I am a big celebrator - holidays and birthdays are my favourite times of the year! I love planning and organising so I can make magical memories for everyone
- I am passionate about music and I love a wide range. There aren't many genres I don't like
- I LOVE travelling and exploring new places! The only downside is I get really car sick. I've travelled Europe, Australia and a few of the Pacific Islands and I'm always trying to plan my next holiday
- My favourite place is my family's bach (emphasis on bach) in Northland. It is a converted old chicken shed but it is the best place to recharge and enjoy all the best parts of nature
- I really enjoy TV series and movies. I am a binger and will stay up late to find out what happens next
- I loved reading as a teenager and I have recently got back into it. It's going so well that I have just started up a Book Club
- I'm a home maker at heart - gardening, cooking, baking and crafts are big hobbies of mine
- I'm a night owl. I thrive during the late hours of the night - it's my most productive time of the day. I love a sleep in (although these are pretty rare at the moment thanks to my one year old haha)
- I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Northland. I love the outdoors and animals. I have rescued all sorts of animals. My family would often bring me any injured or orphaned animals to hand raise (baby possums, rescue piglets, orphaned lambs, frogs, LOTS of injured birds)
- I was a Volunteer firefighter for 8 years - I joined as soon as I turned 16
- We have a rescue ginger kitten called Golden Cheetah who we adopted in January 2025. He has my whole family wrapped around his paw and is super playful and you'll often find him curled up on my lap while I edit galleries
- I shaved my head for charity in 2020
- I moved out of home (Northland) at 17 to a new city (Hamilton) to live alone and complete year 13 at High School
- My husband and I have lived together since we were freshly 18 - we went to High School together in Northland. This year (2025) we have been together for 10 years!
- I work full time as an Improvement Coordinator and Administrator for a Research and Development company. My daughter comes to work with me when I go to the office

She made the process feel so easy and stress free for someone who feels awkward behind the camera and posing. She’s amazing with kids and working to engage them with the camera as well. Her work speaks for itself, beautiful!! Absolutely recommend her work."

She truly captures all the details without you realizing it and puts you at complete ease.
