Hi, I’m Caro, thanks for dropping by.
CREATING WORK THAT DELIGHTS MY CLIENTS
IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT I DO AND WHY.
Living in
and loving Wellington with my little family of three. I’m often found in the kitchen creatively “playing” with food. Dreaming up salads, toast toppers, and which way little hothouse tomatoes should roll into frame and jump onto a pizza - this is my happy workspace. Come join me!
My story began in
the Waikato with an Arts Degree, majoring in photography, adding to this, a certificate in television training. However, I loved the craft of photography more and started as a Press photographer for the Waikato Times newspaper. My camera then led me to Auckland to be Viva photographer for the NZ Herald. Owning a Commercial photography business came next, and I swapped the buzz of a newsroom for the thrill that comes from delighting clients.
“Carolyn isn’t just a photographer, she’s also a magician. She was quickly able to visualise the concept. We love her natural and relaxed style. She slotted in discreetly and took loads of great photos of all our guests; and the star of our show, our staff and of course, our food!” Vaibhav Vissen, Chaat St Restaurant.
Experience
While I'm an award winning and experienced image creator (I’ve been doing this for years) I'm always curious about the latest styles, current market trends, and how I can make clients’ food look truly delicious. Working on campaigns with some of Aotearoa’s largest food brands such as Sanitarium, Pam’s, Tegel, TipTop breads and more, I enjoy sharing my knowledge to help with the best approach for your market.
Working with small or large businesses, and guiding clients through the process of image-making or building a social following, I value each client’s relationship. Finding creative solutions constantly entertains my thoughts. I want to produce my very best for every client.
“Oh my gosh that was such a cool experience, Caro is the nicest person and so incredibly talented. The pictures look amazing, and we can’t wait to use them.” Dale & Jeremy, Pure Catering.
I style and shoot imagery for books, magazines, and all forms of advertising with no two days the same. Some people say I have an obsession with collecting props (modern and classic kiwi that your grandmother used) - I like to think this shopping fixation is for the good of my clients!
From imagery to
Social management
Whether a client is a photography regular or I’m fully looking after their social each week, I thoroughly enjoy becoming part of their team. I find myself constantly creating ideas and keeping an eye on their brand’s competition.
Lastly my Why
Helping businesses grow through customer engagement is a true passion, making a difference is my greatest reward.
While creating strong images is a driver, happy clients are always my goal, I’d LOVE for you to be one of those!
Please say “Hi”.
