Hey I'm Shan!
I’m 28 years old, living in Hamilton Kirikiriroa but grew up in the small town of Te Aroha. I specialise in personal branding photography for female entrepreneurs and small business owners. I’m passionate about connecting with other women in business and supporting them in their journey. I discovered this passion in the early stages of my business, when I’d walk away from a shoot with a fellow woman feeling inspired and empowered.
Personal branding photography feels so aligned for me, it’s the perfect blending of my love for building connections and telling a story through visual art.
I'm also here to build a community of like-minded women, and be there to hype up the incredible female entrepreneurs that are among us.
My first actual camera was given to me by a friend in primary school who didn’t use it. Since then, I’ve been documenting everything. I have hard drives full of memories from around the age of 10, where I really started to take photos. These images are so special to me now, as I can look back and see my changes as a young woman. It’s true that the value of an image only increases over time.
As you can see, I'm not afraid to jump in front of the camera myself - it's actually so much fun! As a photographer you can learn so much from experiencing what it's like to be a client - to be vulnerable in front of another person. You won't regret investing in yourself and your brand.
I can't wait to hear more about you!
