About us

pressed flowers lovingly supplied by Nana.

Originally from Gisborne, I now reside in Auckland, New Zealand, in between travelling for destination bookings. My passion for taking photos began when I was about 11, and now with 15 years behind the lens I have developed a deep love of capturing connection between people.

I love to take a fly on the wall / a friend with a film camera approach during your day, which brings a unique perspective and feeling to my work. 

With a love for creative portraits + fashion that stems from my early photography days, having space to create and collaborate with couples for their imagery is deeply important.

Jared also grew up in a small town, Katikati. His love for photography began in his early teens, through taking photos of his friends skating. A series of events led him to capturing live music events.

Fast forward to 2025, he’s been splitting his time between NZ & LA for the last 4 years touring all around the world with musicians.

MEET JARED

Thanks for being here, I'm Zara

Our worlds have collided in the best way as we are both able to travel for our work. We now both split our time between New Zealand and UK & LA making the most of the summer seasons, although we do prefer the cooler months.. We love being able to tell your story both on analogue motion picture and through photos. Being able to do what we love most together as a team is truly the best.
