Welcome to
P J Shepherd Photography
Kia ora! My name is Parehuia (or PJ for short) I am a maori photographer based in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. But I whakapapa to Te Arawa.
I would consider myself a bit of a chameleon when it comes to my mahi. Meaning I can offer many different vibes and aesthetics to match what each client needs. Whether that's editorial, soft and gentle, fully commercial - there's no in between for me. I can do it all.
I LOVE people. I love having a good conversation. I talk to my clients like they're my whanau. Maybe it was my 10 years in hospitality that helped me there. But I like my clients to imagine me as their cousin taking their photos.
Anywho! I'll keep rambling on so I'll stop there. Hope you love what you see and let's talk soon!
