I'm the owner and photographer behind DFU Photos.

I help businesses create photography that feels genuine, professional, and actually gets used.

Photography started as a creative outlet back in 2017 while I was transitioning from teaching music. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something I couldn't stop learning about, and over the years it's grown into a business focused on helping people tell their stories through authentic imagery.

Looking back, both careers have something in common: working with people, building confidence, and helping them feel comfortable. That's still the approach I bring to every shoot.

Today, I work with businesses and event organisers across New Zealand, creating everything from personal branding and headshots to conferences and corporate events.

I've seen too many businesses rely on outdated headshots or scramble for photos every time they need to update their website or post on social media. That's why my focus is simple: create a library of professional images that keeps working for your business long after the shoot is over.

My goal is to make the experience relaxed, straightforward, and enjoyable vbecause the best photos happen when people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
