Testimonials

  • Golden light over Tasman Lake

    R. Siliato, Australia

    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! 🥰

    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!

  • Family at te Church of the Good Shepherd

    P. de Grano, Philippines

    Our experience with Lara was very lovely. The stunning scenery was already unforgettable, but she truly elevated the moment by capturing it so beautifully. She was also warm, and patient, and made our toddler feel completely at ease in front of the camera — which isn’t always as easy! She also stretched our time to maximize the shoot. Very grateful for that and highly recommend her!
