About me
How we work together
1. Discovery & Scope
We begin with an initial consultation to map out your project vision and logistical requirements:
Creative Direction: We define your brand aesthetic, shot list, lighting style, and mood boards.
Project Logistics: We establish deliverables, image usage licensing, and target delivery timelines.
Tailored Proposal: You receive a comprehensive project scope and quote so everything is transparent before moving to production.
2. Production & Capture
Product, Food & Beverage: Post your items directly to my home studio in Tauranga. I handle prop sourcing, background styling, and technical capture.
Brand & Lifestyle: We meet on location at your venue, workshop, or workplace to shoot your team, space, and story in natural action.
3. Curation & Delivery
After the shoot, I spend time editing your images. You will then receive a private online gallery where you can download your final high-resolution files, ready for web, social media, and print.
Hi there! I'm Julia, a Tauranga-based commercial photographer.
For as long as I can remember, photography has been my creative outlet. There are many things I just can’t pass by without wanting to capture them - from something big like a grand landscape, to something tiny like the way water drops sit on the cabbages in my garden. (A bush walk with me usually involves a million stops for “wow that light is so beautiful!” and me getting out the camera…)
I love working in commercial photography because it provides continual inspiration and challenges for my creativity - each new project is a chance to explore something new and create something unique. Whether it's a studio shoot or an on-location lifestyle session, my goal to create images that are not only beautiful to look at, but that cause the viewer to feel something when they see them.
I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, from makers of high-quality products like artisan cheeses, craft spirits and fine wines, to businesses that offer unique travel and lifestyle experiences. I love working closely with each client to understand their unique brand story and figuring out how I can convey that through the images I create.
I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing brands from around the country and I'm always eager to explore new and exciting projects.
If you're looking for a photographer who can bring your brand to life with high-quality images, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch today to chat. Or if you already have a project in mind, feel free to fill in my new project enquiry form and I’ll be in touch.
