Kind Words from My Incredible Clients! 🌟
"I approached Awhina to get some new branding photos done and loved her confident vibe. Right from the start, Awhina made me feel completely comfortable, uplifted my confidence, and got me laughing! Not only did she capture the essence of who I am and what my brand represents, but she also gave me a confidence boost that made me feel like I can take on the world. In short: photography with a side of mindset shift—anything is possible!" Maia Paterson / Fertility Coaching
“Today I did something totally out of my comfort zone…a branding photo shoot! I needn’t have worried though, as the incredibly talented Awhina Russell had me relaxed and having fun in no time! Her ability to recognize the things that were significant to me and incorporate those in the photos was truly special. With a wit like no other, we had so many laughs and whilst it was technically a branding shoot - it was also a gift to myself. I didn’t expect it to be so fun! What an amazing experience to celebrate ME and my business thus far. Having my sister here to do my beautifying and in the background assisting was so lovely - thank you Louise! If you are considering doing something like this for your business or ‘just because’ - grab the opportunity, because you will absolutely love it. Thank you Awhina, you are bloody fabulous! xx ” Michelle Anderson at Writeway Editing and Proofreading Services
''Being someone reluctant to step out in front of the camera, Awhina made the whole process easy and fun.
Knowing how crucial it is to have a great suite of photos to support my business, through my brand and marketing, she knew what kind of shots would be useful and how to make me as comfortable as possible throughout the shoot.
I would recommend Awhina for anyone who is looking to get great photos for using in their marketing – but she equally does fantastic shots for all your photo needs.'' Megan Reid
"I was always terrified of having my photo taken. Worse than the dentist. Worse than public speaking. To be avoided at all costs. But with Awhina, that fear melted away within minutes. Her amazing skill created photos that were the essence of me – outstanding."
