We used Jodie for our most recent advertising campaign and cannot recommend her enough. She was relaxed & fit straight in with the team. She took the time to follow the brief and work with us to nail exactly what we were wanting.

I advertised locally for a photographer for a personal branding shoot. I received many replies but Jodie stood out among everyone who replied - she was friendly, knowledgeable and responded quickly to all my questions. Her professionalism continued as we worked together. She referred me to a make up artist and hair dresser who I also hired. These three are now my A team. Jodie helped us find a suitable Air BnB for the photo shoot - we went with her recommendation in the end, and she also chose the place for outside photos (lake and forest). She's very knowledgeable about the Wanaka area and is very well regarded in the community. On the day she was on time and professional throughout. She made me feel very comfortable during the shoot and was very generous with her time. I found her to be relaxed but professional. The photos came back within 4 business days! Very happy with the result and will definitely partner with her again. If you're looking for a photographer you can stop now, because you've found her. You won't regret it if you hire Jodie - I know I will be, again. Thanks so much Jodie for making our photo shoot such a success. We'll be back xx.

We hired Jodie for our wedding photographer and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She listened and catered to exactly what we were looking for, she made great recommendations and was an unexpected extra set of hands on the day, going above and beyond to make sure everything was going smoothly for us. I feel incredibly awkward in front of a camera, it's impressive how comfortable she made the both of us feel, capturing the most beautiful, candid shots. The weren't just beautiful pictures, she's really captured the essence and memory of the day. She is loveable, down to earth and fun to work with (would 100% love her as my friend!). She is a highly skilled professional and you can trust that you are in great hands.

So happy we got in touch with Jodie. Very talented and professional. Made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (usually hate it) and the results were epic! Will definitely be using her again.
