Testimonials

A. Marshall, Book Tekapo

Absolutely thrilled with the photography work that Thaíz has done for us. She captures beautifully different lighting and the special features in a home. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to update their house photos, or for a special memory that you want to capture!

Lara is the most amazing photographer! She is so talented, professional, kind, patient and just an overall lovely person. The photos I received from Lara are beyond AMAZING. I am absolutely in awe of her work. She had so many suggestions and helped us with our posing (my partner and I are hopeless) and somehow made us look effortlessly amazing. Honestly, if you want gorgeous photos that are worthy to hang on your wall, please go ahead and book Lara. Best decision I made. She is worth every penny and more. An amazing photographer and an even more amazing person! 🥰
J. Jin, Sunshine Housing

We had a fantastic experience working with Thaíz Lara. She was prompt and responsive in her communication, delivered high-quality work, and showed great initiative by capturing additional shots whenever she saw the opportunity. Her professionalism and eye for detail made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend her services.
A. Calma, Australia

As a solo traveller I wanted someone to capture some images of me at the magical location. Thaiz made me feel natural and put me at ease once I met her. Thaiz knows how to establish a relationship quickly to make you feel comfortable in front of her camera. Thank you, Thaiz for the photographs and capturing the time we had together, and the majestic Aoraki/Mount Cook as our stunning background. I highly recommend Thaiz for your next photo shoot to capture memories, her non-intrusive photography style, photographs to treasure and share for years to come!
