Kia ora koutou

I'm Holly. I’m a photographer based on the Kāpiti Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand.

My passion is for photographing our native wildlife and using my images to help others get inspired by our incredible birds. I aim to raise awareness about our birds, from the well-known and beloved to the lesser-known but equally important.

Nothing gets me more inspired than talking to others about our wildlife and how we can protect them. Conservation is something I’ve been passionate about since I was a kid. I hope that my images of our beautiful manu (birds) help inspire others to protect them.

I’m originally from the sunny Hawke’s Bay and moved to Wellington in 2013 for study, where I gained a PGDipSci and BSc in Geography.

I am available to speak at events about wildlife photography and conservation.

Please get in touch if you would like to buy a print or license, or work with me!

A pīwakawaka (fantail) looking round and delightful in front of a gloriously colourful background! The sun was setting behind native trees and it created a pretty magical effect. Shot with the new @fujifilmxseriesnz X-H2S and 150-600mm. What a combo
After five years of wildlife photography, many incredible experiences in nature and nearly 50,000 photos captured, THIS is one of my favourite shots I've ever taken 👀💩
I'm pretty stoked because three of my images received awards in the nature category at the @nzipp.national 2022 Iris Awards! It was my first time entering this competition and I am super happy to have been awarded a Silver and two Bronze awards 🤗
The black-browed albatross has really nailed that smokey eye look! Such a thrill being able to photograph one up close. It's considered to be the most abundant albatross species in the world, with a population of about 3 million.
