I'm a photographer and writer based in Auckland, helping people transform their memories into lasting legacies.

I create Photobook Memoirs — bespoke, documentary-style books that combine photography and text to capture the essence of a person's life. From a one-on-one interview and photo session in your own home, I shape your memories and anecdotes into an intimate keepsake. Some books are image-led while others feature more text — each photobook is a unique collection of treasured moments.

For those with old photographs they'd like preserved, I also offer the Heritage Memoir — bringing your existing photos together with the stories behind them, and contemporary photography to bring everything into the present.

If you'd prefer a simpler, more affordable way to capture a life story, I also offer the  Life Story Interview— a written record of memories and reflections, gathered through conversation and told in your own words.

My background spans photography, writing, and biographical work. I have worked closely with people of all ages and backgrounds, developing a deep respect for lived experience and the importance of preserving it.
