The Awhitu Peninsula – underestimated and still unspoiled

When I acquired my first iPhone in 2010 I found a love for photography that has taken me on quite a journey. Because I always had my phone (camera) on me I began to view things through a lens and see beauty in the every day of life, which means that sometimes my photos can be random and quirky. I also love to shoot landscapes, nature, and water, be it ocean, lake, or river. I feel blessed to live in this beautiful country of New Zealand, and love to share it through my photography.
I have had my images featured by many Instagram hubs, and on Hipstography.com several times. One of my images was also exhibited in Brussels in Hipstography’s ‘Click, Boom, Amazing’ exhibition in 2015.
Travelling around as we are gives me plenty of opportunities to fulfill this creative need, and also tell the stories and history of the places we visit.
