Hi, I’m Rebecca - I am a born and bred Wairarapa local, growing up in Carterton, and after spending a decade living abroad in Australia and England, I now live with my husband and two young children in the most gorgeous little village, Greytown.

If I think about my photography in a nutshell, a few words would spring to mind – emotion, story, energy, connection and detail. I try to shoot so the emotion is evident, the story is there, the technicals are bang on and the energy is infectious.

All of these attributes I take along with me when shooting both family and commercial work. I believe it is important to understand your clients, to spend the time to get to know them. Find out what makes them tick and what is important to them, whether it is capturing those special moments within their family or creating stand out imagery for their business – it is about the people.

I have my own photography studio in Greytown which gives me the flexibility to not only shoot on location, but also to offer studio portraits, corporate head shots as well as product and food photography.

I hold a Master of Photography (Distinction) with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography and have won multiple awards at the annual Iris Awards including Finalist for NZ Landscape Open Photographer of the Year 2021 and Finalist for NZ Documentary Photographer of the Year 2018/2019.

Rebecca is able to capture amazing images in a real and honest, yet beautiful way. At The Wairarapa Journal we like to represent Wairarapa as the unique and varied place that it is and that is exactly what Rebecca has the ability to do. She is entirely professional, yet puts her subjects instantly at ease. She has an impressive portfolio in landscape work but she is equally at home photographing portraiture and commercial work, as she very quickly deciphers how to achieve the perfect image."
