"Sarah has an amazing warm vibe which makes people feel enormously comfortable. Sarah uses this gift AND her expertise to respectfully guide people so that the outcomes are well received by all.

 

Sarah is so easy to engage with, she listens completely which is evident by the standard of the photos she takes. Sarah responds quickly to emails and just makes things work, particularly when there are lots of chopping and changing on our part.

 

We will continue to use Sarah and are very happy to support her in her business endeavours." -

I provide tourism businesses who hate awkward poses, with documentary marketing photos in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough.

​

Prior to becoming a full time photographer, my career for 17 years was in forest tourism operations and marketing. I love high ropes courses; guided tours; cellar doors and vineyard experiences; restaurants and accommodation (and more!) in beautiful natural places. I held various roles including Tour Guide; Park Manager; Marketing Manager; Operations Manager and Acting General Manager.

 

I understand your tourism business inside and out. I understand how hard it is to create authentic content for social media and marketing. Because I've been there and done that too.

 

And I'm here to help you effectively market your tourism business on social media, web and print; through authentic photography.

​

I provide tourism businesses with three types of professional photography to help you communicate your point of difference and showcase your natural beauty in an authentic way.

​

Documentary tourism marketing photos

Do you feel uncomfortable having your photo taken? Don't want to be told what to do, smile and look at the camera? Your team members even more so? Me too!

​

I am a documentary tourism marketing photographer. This means capturing what naturally occurs in front of the camera, without direction, staging or posing. I keep an eye out for meaningful moments, beautiful light and striking compositions.

​

These photos are designed for social media use: never scratch your head for what to post ever again! Photos can also be used on your website and in print. I deliver a variety of imagery for you to choose from covering day-to-day operations, products, team members and customers, details and textures of your workplace.

​

I promise never to make you smile whilst drinking an empty cup of coffee over your laptop!

​

Documentary tourism marketing photos can be taken without interrupting your daily work schedule or your guests enjoyment of their stay.

​

Environmental headshots

I understand the importance of communicating the personality and soul of you and your team online and in print publications. I carefully craft headshots to include your work or natural environment. This helps get across more than your pretty face; including elements of what you do and where you do it.

​

Event photography

Let me professionally document your event capturing the milestone moments and little details. Great for launches, grand openings, AGM's, meetings, conferences, workshops and more. Photos can be used for social media, website and future marketing.
