Q1 2026
So grateful to be trusted with such special moments. I honestly feel honoured and privileged when I am working the camera, I treasure each shoot and always do my best x
If you're wondering what type of style I have - don't worry, me too LOL! But honestly I just love to go off your inspo pics. I also love to be in the moment and then when it comes to editing I just see where it takes me. I am so grateful to everyone that has played a part in my photography journey, I know I've been going at it for a bit but this is seriously just the beginning - Talz
Meet your photographer, Talz
Hi everyone! My name is Atalya (Talz) and I'm a 27 year old māmā currently living in Taranaki. I have 3 tamariki, a supportive tāne and the best village of people around me. Thanks to my ADHD I have had a love hate relationship with photography for a long time but last year I decided to take it seriously. It's been a wild ride with many curve balls and meltdowns along the way but that was nothing compared to the joy and satisfaction I felt after delivering each gallery. I've had a dabble and tried my hand at many different shoots eg maternity, newborn, family, events, branding etc and it still feels unreal to me that I'm capable of this mahi. Here we are now though! I mustn't be too bad if I have a website now lol anyway, thanks for reading this far and if you're still here and contemplating on whether to book the shoot - DO IT!
