Multi-award winning photographer

Award Winning Christchurch Photographer

Hi I’m Belinda.

I can’t wait to meet you!  I’m a people person and totally addicted to art and beauty.  When I was 7 years old I wanted to be a professional artist when I grew up, and also a clown (but we won’t go into that). Many years ago I travelled and visited nearly every art gallery I could.  Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt – you name it – I soaked it up. This is my happy place!  

Being out in nature is also my happy place. Playing with my studio lighting and backdrops – mega happy place! I just love creating something with WOW factor and I can design a shoot just for you and your family!  Whether it is a casual stroll in the hills to create a landscape incorporating your family, or whether you would like a colourful creative studio shoot – that’s me too!  

I am a bit of a goofball and don’t take myself too seriously, plus I love a good laugh.  People comment that I have a special talent for making them relax.  Check out my reviews and you will see! 

I am an multi award winning fine art portrait photographer and Master of Photography (NZIPP). I love designing unique photoshoots for families and children and making it a fun and relaxing experience. I provide families with beautiful wall art that gives your home the wow factor and will last a lifetime and be passed down through the generations!

I have an amazing passion for photography and would love to capture a fine art portrait of your child.   I would love to create one or more heirloom pieces for you to adorn your wall.  I own a collection of photos myself dating back to the 1860s and they are beautiful objects which I guard with my life.  Far more precious than anything else I own.

I belong to the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP) and I am accredited in portrait photography.  I have other photography interests outside of portraiture and have won 25 awards at the Iris Awards (click here to view my awards).  Please ring me or text me on 021 180 8928 to chat about how I can design a shoot for you.
