Hey, my name is sarah, a landscape and pet photographer based in waipu, new zealand
I love New Zealand's stunning landscapes—its beautiful mountains, clean beaches, thick forests, and dramatic fjords. I'm also passionate about animals and the special bond we share with them. I combine my love of nature with a calm and thoughtful approach to photographing pets. My goal is to create photos that feel real and touch people's hearts. The result is vibrant, honest images that celebrate the natural world and the animals that live in it.
Nature photography
Let's start by saying my absolute passion in photography is landscape photography. Always has been and always will be. I live in a small coastal community and therefore the beach, sand and surf is number one, it is definitely my happy place. Then next its onto the greens and blues of our natural forests and national parks . It is so exciting to plan, capture and grow with my photography. You may think its just a click to take that shot but it's also what the eye can see, what draws me to the scene not just what my camera can capture. Luckily for me it comes naturally and I have taught my camera everything it knows.

pet photography
I think my love for animals especially pups has been my next step into pet photography. This began in my adult years with friends and family having dogs and me being drawn to them more than their hoomans. It's TRUE. Love being honest. I owned a White Swiss Shepherd and he was my world. It gave me so much joy and companionship. The best part is that "Bear" loved the beach, swam with me and as long as he had a frisbee he was the happiest boy. So together we had many adventures and capturing photos along the way. Those photos are so precious to me.
Given our pets unfortunately have a shorter life span than ourselves, it has become really important to me to document their lives. I want to create long lasting memories, to capture the essence of their personalities and the bond that they share with us. Every pet is unique and has their own story to tell.
