Naomi was born in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand - and though has travelled throughout the country and Australia, has spent the majority of her life in Canterbury so far.

She has always loved photography, and as a child had her entire bedroom wall plastered with cutouts from calendars, magazines, newspapers etc. The passion really set in after winning a Web Design competition in high school, and she promptly used the winnings to purchase her first digital camera.
Not long after, that quickly progressed into upgrading cameras several times up to SLR's after taking up a challenge from a friend - To attempt to get at least one photograph of every New Zealand bird. This challenge proved to be a lot more difficult than first expected, and she also became a lot more passionate about succeeding than originally expected also!
This challenge has taken her many places all around the country - and along the way the opportunities to photograph the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand are endless!

The passion of photography is now well embedded - A dream to "Photograph the World" - from macro, to the rising moon.
