Recently moving to Wanaka from Bluff was an exciting move to say the least! As far as photography goes…you can’t really compare. Endless sky and sea views from my window, intense wild weather, dense bush and the most unreal sunsets & sunrises I have ever witnessed. Wanaka - Mountains, rivers, lakes and LUPINS! Both absolutely amazing for photos.

I would say for family photos I feel less anxious about the weather taking over but it has been a challenge (although beautiful) I was forced to leave my ‘go to’ spots which to be honest, may have created some laziness with creativity on my part. I loved the spots I used in Southland but really felt I was playing it safe and not pushing myself out of my comfort zone…I didn’t have to!

I only have a few Wanaka family photo shoots under my belt but at the stage Eely point Wanaka reserve is my go to for so many reasons! I have everything from forrest look to the lake and mountains but also leaving the anxiety of putting my clients through harsh weather.

I will continue to explore and make the most of my surroundings! Whilst pinching myself that I’m here.
