Meet Debs - your photographer

Hi, I’m Debs

I’m a proud mum to 3 amazing boys, Sebastian (22), Noah (19), and Kaden (15) and my spirited studio assistant, Cora, who often tries to sneak into sessions (when she’s allowed, of course!).

My journey into photography began simply and beautifully with my very first son and an old film camera. I just wanted to document every moment of his life and that's how I fell in love with photography.

I work from the heart and my gift to is a beautiful experience and images you will treasure forever.

Capturing your story through my eyes

Over the years, my style has evolved, but my heart has always remained with natural, authentic images that are filled with love and connection.
For me, photography is never just about pictures. It’s about the connection, fun and in between moments. I want you to look back on your photos and remember how it felt.
Whether we’re snuggled up in my cozy Papamoa studio or walking barefoot across the dunes, my intention is to create an environment where you feel completely relaxed!

I gently guide you to relax, to shine, to simply be, while I capture the magic. And when you see your images, you'll fall in love with them… again and again.
