HAPPY ONE YEAR TO ME! 🥳✨
One year of running this business.
One year of meeting amazing new faces.
One year of capturing your core memories.
One year of turning my absolute dreams into reality.
What a wild, beautiful blast of a year! Honestly, if you told me a decade ago I’d be here, I wouldn’t have believed you. I first tried launching my photography business about 9 years ago, but the timing just wasn’t right, and I put it to rest after just three months.
Fast forward to this time last year: BOOM. The spark was back! 💥
This past year has been a whirlwind of playing catch-up, re-teaching myself how to shoot in manual (it really is just like riding a bike!), pushing myself way out of my comfort zone, and dusting off the creative corners of my brain. The absolute best part? Making a vision come to life and sharing my art with all of you.
I don’t regret walking away back then. Every single thing I’ve learned along the way has built the foundation for what Shotz by Mia is today, and I am incredibly grateful for the journey.
To celebrate one year—and keep growing—things are evolving around here! Along with a price investment update, I have some exciting new changes to share:
🎥 We now offer Wedding Videography! I am excited to announce that we will now also bring your day to life in motion. Check out our special introductory rate on our newly refreshed website > https://www.shotzbymia.co.nz/weddings-packages/
📍 Simpler Travel Fees: Travel is now fully included for all portrait and specialty sessions within 15km of my base.
🖼️ Full Gallery Access: Want every single memory from your session? You can now unlock your entire gallery for just $200.
Thank you to every single person who has booked a session, liked a photo, or cheered me on. It truly means the world to me. I can’t wait to keep creating, keep learning, and keep capturing your magic! 🤍
And last but not least, big thank you to
for my beautiful branding photos (photos 2,4,5,7 & 8)
