“Fie made getting photos with my young girls feel completely effortless. Instead of awkward posing, it honestly just felt like we were having a laugh together - and somehow she captured the most beautiful, natural moments in between. Fie creates such a relaxed, fun atmosphere and nails it. Highly recommend.”

“As a family, we have worked with Fie on a number of occasions and each time we have absolutely loved the experience. She has been very accommodating to our requests, the photographs and paintings she has produced have been just what we asked for, if not better! We would absolutely recommend asking Fie to join in on your next creative project!”

“Fie gave my husband and I the best experience on our wedding day. We were both quite nervous as none of us have any kind of experience in front of a camera. However, Fie guided us through, made us feel comfortable while making it fun, and shot pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime. I give her my highest recommendation, without any reservations whatsoever. Thank you, Fie.”

ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Fie and I am a Multidisciplinary Artist based in Gore, Southland, New Zealand.
I am a Family and Lifestyle Photographer, Watercolour and Acrylic Painter & Live Event Illustrator. 1 Artist many hats and I love that I get to be diverse within my creative practice. I would love to hear about your family, your memories, and the moments you never want to forget. Through the lens of a camera or with ink and watercolour, I create keepsakes that can be cherished for years to come. If you can dream it, I can create it.
"For me, art is a connection between you and another human being. You may be separated by centuries or continents, but you are spending time with a piece that someone else spent time with. You’re contemplating an arrangement of form, an idea that once resided in the mind, or a presence of someone other than yourself. I invite you to move into a space of speculation; Rather than thinking about what it might be, focus on what it is."
