Amanda
I work to make you comfortable in front of the camera, make you laugh when it’s appropriate, create the images you expect and many more that you don’t – images that capture not only the day, but that you can look back on to remember the feeling.
Background
I came from the UK in 1994 at 24, having been a shoe sales girl & Natwest banker.
In NZ started work in a HR office as receptionist, then a Sales & Marketing administrator then onto being a PA. Following the birth of my daughter in 2003 and a desire for more family friendly hours my keen interest as an amateur photographer became a career.
After training at Unitec, I joined the NZIPP (New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography) as an avenue to hone specific skills and learn from the best in the business. Over a period of 4 years through continuous professional development, I was able to attain my Masters in Photography, winning awards for prints you can see in my awards gallery. I was a member of the NZIPP for over 10 years.
