About Me

Kia ora, I'm Samantha! based in Hamilton, New Zealand. I specialise in portrait photography, with a deep passion for empowering women and telling the unique stories of mothers through my work.

​

After becoming a mother of three, my photography journey took on a new purpose. Inspired by my own experiences, I began to explore photography more deeply, using it as a way to celebrate and empower other women, particularly mothers. I’ve always been drawn to portrait photography because of its ability to capture a person’s essence—telling a story without the need for words.

​

What excites me most about portrait photography is the creative freedom it offers and the power of expression it captures. I believe every woman has a unique story and beauty, though it’s not always seen. My goal is to help my clients see themselves in a new light and empower them to embrace their individuality. Through my lens, I strive to capture moments of joy, strength, and love—especially in the context of motherhood.

​

For me, photography is more than just creating images—it’s about creating a space where women can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether it’s a mother embracing her children, a woman reconnecting with her own identity, or simply a moment of quiet beauty, I’m honoured to capture these stories and share them with the world.
