If you’ve landed here, you’re probably looking for someone to help your brand look its best. But great content goes further than that — it stops the scroll, builds trust, and makes your audience want to be part of your world. Sound good? Pull up a seat and make yourself right at home.
My creative career started with empowerment photography. I’ve always told my clients that I’m not woo-woo, just a little woo — because I cry happy-tears *every* *single* *time* I show someone how truly beautiful they are, which is most shoots, really. It’s not the conveniently fixable beauty either, but that glow you get when you show up for yourself and put your best foot forward in this wildly fun and precious life. Great photos can do that.
From there, I spent time in a portrait studio — refining my eye for posing, light, and how to find the most flattering angle for every unique body and face. But I wanted something more real. Life is short, and I want to spend mine working with people and brands who get just as excited as I do about this beautiful world — and who are actively doing good in it.
So Sundara Productions was born — a name chosen with intention, and a business built around a simple belief: that the world is beautiful, and the right visuals can help people feel it. To explore this world with curiosity and respect. To partner with brands and individuals who trust me to tell their story through visuals that are honest, considered, and genuinely lovely to look at.
Sundara Productions is a visual storytelling brand for people and businesses who want more than pretty pictures — they want content that actually does something.
Through photography, videography, and end-to-end content creation, I help brands and individuals communicate what makes them extraordinary — in a way that feels real, immersive, and worth sharing.
The name Sundara (सुन्दर) comes from Sanskrit, meaning beautiful, lovely, and good — and that’s exactly the intention here. Not beauty for beauty’s sake, but the kind that leaves an imprint on your soul. The beauty of moments that matter to you and your clients. Landscapes that make you want to linger a little longer and explore just that little bit farther. People showing up as their most confident, radiant selves. That’s what I’m here to capture.
Most businesses hiring a photographer are juggling multiple creatives — someone for photos, someone else for video, a separate person for social content. It gets expensive, inconsistent, and exhausting to manage.
Sundara Productions is built around a simpler idea: streamlined content creation with one creative partner.
That means you get a single creative vision across everything — photography, video, and social-ready content — produced by someone who already understands your world because they live and breathe it too. No briefing three (or thirty) different people. No wondering why your photo and video content look like they came from different brands. Just cohesive, story-driven work that actually does something.
It’s really that simple.
Whether you’re a tourism operator, adventure brand, small outdoorsy business, or a local brand whose work just happens to look better under an open sky — Sundara Productions is here for you. I’m also your girl if you’re after personal branding, a loved-up engagement or editorial couples shoot, or just-because professional portrait photography.
If you care about what you do and want your visuals to reflect that — whether you’re a business ready to level up your content, or you’re ready to boost your confidence with a shoot — Sundara Productions is your one-stop creative agency.
If this sounds like you, let’s make some magic together.
Sundara Productions is growing — and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited about where we’re going — so jump on in, there’s plenty of snacks! I’m building out a portfolio of cinematic, story-led projects with a focus on destination marketing, tourism campaigns, and brand partnerships, with a particular eye on New Zealand’s outdoor and tourism industry (spoiler: it’s stunning and I can’t wait to show my dog the snow).
But wherever the work takes me, the goal stays the same: create visuals that make people want to move — to book the trip, try the experience, or simply spend more time in the world you and your brand call home.
One of the best parts of this job? No two shoots are ever the same.
I’ve spent an afternoon knee-deep in a creek shooting an engagement session while the couple laughed their heads off. I’ve documented the full Inca Trail to Machu Picchu as a personal project — hauling camera gear that weighed more than the guide’s backpack at altitude because some stories are just too good not to tell. I shot a personal branding campaign for a tour guide deep in the Amazon Rainforest, where the bugs were basically unpaid actors. I’ve captured rainy-morning couples shoots that turned out to be some of my most atmospheric work (rain is underrated, people). And I’ve built an ongoing relationship with several eco-friendly pet brands — which is how my dog Lumi has become an unofficial Sundara Productions talent, working exclusively for sardines and games of fetch. Her cute mugshot also made its way into the logo.
Each one of these shoots started with someone trusting me to show up, find the light, direct the poses, and tell their story. Your trust is something I never take for granted. So you know, love you – mean it.
I’d love to hear about your brand, your business, or your vision. Please reach out and let’s talk about how Sundara Productions can help you tell your story — beautifully, authentically, and in a way that actually gets results.
