Hello! I’m Tara.

I am a documentary photographer based in Waikato, New Zealand. 
I specialise in Pet Photography, especially for our older and ill animals and I also love creating photographs for your business.

Browse on through, take a look at some of my work which is interlaced with stuff that happens around our home (the Zoo House) too.
And then when you’re ready, drop me a note, let’s chat.

Love you Momma 💞

Lynley Sutherland passed suddenly Wednesday morning. 
Mum was vivacious, outgoing and lived her life with a smile on her face.

We will be having a gathering of love, honour and remembrance on Monday 16th September, 1pm, Wairarapa Funeral Services chapel.

Years and years ago I completed a 365 Photo a Day Years and years ago I completed a 365 Photo a Day project with a group of friends.  It was the most creative thing I had ever done and I enjoyed it so much, I said I would do another some time.
I think that time is now.

I took me and Dads ashes down the bay, across the saddle and back up SH1. Took us 7.5hrs and I sang to him the whole way.
I’m sure he would have been impressed with how I can flip between Queen, MC Hammer, Harry Styles, Eminem, Mobb Deep and Elton John.

This morning we explored the beaches at Raglan (Toby loves the beach) and found some super cool posing locations! 
Toby is 12 with a couple of health challenges so it was lovely to be able to link up with K & J and Toby at a beach to record some memories 💛
