The images Aroha create are stunning! I couldn't believe that I could look the way that photos captured. The mood lighting and the set really makes for a quality boudoir experience and allows for a great variety of shots; Also, the amount of effort Aroha makes to make your feel fierce is unreal.

Not even sure where to begin, but man I just love Aroha! There's just something about her that just makes you feel so comfortable and feeling like you're the only thing that matters in that moment. I saw that first hand today when she worked with my niece on her solo photo shoot. Aroha is such a beautiful soul who is extremely talented in her craft. I really could go on for days...but for real book this fabulously talented photographer for your next photo shoot you certainly will not be left disappointed

I adore working with Aroha! She is the "baby whisperer", makes the entire family feel at ease and enjoy the experience. Not to mention that she is ridiculously talented. I never pass up the chance to sit in front of her camera!
