About

Hi Im Catherine, I have a Bachelor of Design majoring in Contemporary Jewellery. I have always had a deep appreciation for detail and craftsmanship. Over the past decade, I have honed my eye as the creative director for a baby and childrenswear brand—developing surface patterns, styling shoots, and capturing product imagery that tells a story. After walking the walk with my own product based business I am passionate about working with small businesses and fellow creatives, helping them bring their products to life through thoughtful, brand-aligned photography. Over the last year I have developed my skills in studio lighting. My specialty is moody sophisticated shoots with a natural, organic vibe, exploring shadows, texture and light to create imagery that feels both elevated and aspirational.

PRICING:

Our Best package on offer is our subscription model:


product photography subscription service from my studio in Auckland, where subscribers would receive a set number of professionally styled product photos each month. The goal is to help brands keep their content fresh and consistent without needing to plan individual shoots each time.

The creative direction would mostly be at my discretion (you could upload a mood-board or general vibe), and may also include collaborative, lifestyle-style setups using products from other subscribers — to create more content-rich, in-situ imagery and opens up great cross-promotion opportunities (this is an opt in option). The Subscription model is really for basic styled images using backdrops and some props (including hands). Perfect for ecommerce, hero shots and details shots.


Subscriptions: $120 per month (10 photos p/m) / $155 per month (15 photos p/m) 3 month minimum

✔️ Up to 5 products per month (this is negotiable depending on the product)
✔️ Natural light and studio light styling
✔️ Edited photos delivered as high-res JPEGs via a private client gallery monthly
✔️ Turnaround throughout the month. (Subscription timing starts from the beginning of each calander month)


Perfect for small brands, makers, and creatives who want fresh consistent imagery for monthly newsletters, social media, event promotion etc— no endless back-and-forth required.


One and Done:

The One and Done package is jumping on the band wagon of the subscription but with no commitment. It offers the same concept and time frame (over the month) booked in prior to the new month starting. This is perfect for brands that just need a one off set of photos without the monthly commitment or who potentially want to trial the service.


One and Done: $150 (10 photos) / $170 (15 photos)

✔️ Up to 5 products
✔️ Natural light and studio light styling
✔️ Edited photos delivered as high-res JPEGs via a private client gallery monthly
✔️ Turnaround throughout the month.


If you need a more products shot or specific creative styling including food prep, specific props or more lifestyle imagery please get in touch and we can discuss a custom package that could work for your needs. Or if you aren't sure which option is best complete the lead form and choose 'unsure on package" or Contact us here
