Bees! On the roof!

Perks of the job 📷 and yet another bonus of working at .co coworking space — is getting to see things like this!

Last week we got to check out the new urban hives that have landed atop 57 Willis.

rescues bees from around the city and rehomes them to rooftops near you. They turn underutilised space into a biodiversity asset. As a business, school or residence you can get a ‘rental hive’ where they take care of all the details, and you get to enjoy the biodiversity bees bring. Beehives can even contribute to your business’ Green Star Certification. How cool.

I’m in love 🐝😍🐝

Big thanks to Jessie from the team for the tour.

Another excellent event this week hosted by 📸✨

“1 Sector, 6 Parities Respond” was a political panel on the future of Aotearoa’s community sector ahead of the next election. Glad to see all parties engaging in this important discussion.

Community Networks Aotearoa is an umbrella organisation for local community networks — with members from not-for-profits and voluntary social service organisations all over the country. If you work in the sector and aren’t connected to their incredible events and resources yet, check them out.

Thanks for having me team!

Playing around with self portraits and new backdrops this week.

I’ve been feeling the change of seasons lately — adjusting to shorter days, slower nights, a shift in energy, and remembering it’s okay to not always be busy.

This colour felt fitting for cozy season on the horizon. Autumn is here. 🍷🍁🍂🍓♥️

This month wraps up the launch of book: Voices for Climate Solutions in Aotearoa 🌏📖
I’m incredibly proud to be part of this project, photographing the Welly-based authors for their chapters with .bvg

Such a treat to reconnect with everyone last month for the Welly launches too. Here are some favourites 📸from events at Parliament, .co, and the new central library .

If you missed the in-person book tour — the team is hosting an online book launch next Tues 28 April at 7.30pm NZT! And you can still go out at grab a copy at your local 📚

Join the online launch for a kōrero with Olympic pole-vaulter and book foreword author, Eliza McCartney , and members of the KiC team Tessa Vincent, , John Lang , Nick Morrison .

Huge congrats to the team for all the hard work you’ve put into this launch. I know this book (and your work) will continue to have a ripple effect far beyond today!

Continually inspired by the people who come to the .day__cleanbeauty pop-up!

This is Dr Juhaina Al Ruheili 😍 .juhainaa

Juhaina is a hormone expert who specialises in holistic women’s health.

She’s supporting women in all stages, and especially those 35+ to navigate peri/menopause so they can reclaim their energy, confidence and sense of self.

Originally from Oman, she came to NZ and initially trained as a GP before embarking on this journey. She is also a palliative care doctor, and an incredible mother!

She runs her own clinic called Sakina — a safe haven where women can reclaim their intimate health and well-being.

Juhaina, thank you for the incredible contribution you’re offering the world through your mahi.

Next makeup + pop-up .day__cleanbeauty — 14 May. Link in bio.

Portraits for the incredible Dr Ipsh*ta Mandal-Johnson . I’m lucky to work alongside Ipsh*ta at .co and am continually in awe of the energy she brings into the space, the impact she’s made in her work in Biotech at such a young age, and the fact that she’s also a mum.

Last week Ipsh*ta was named as one the Young Global Leaders, Class of 2026!

This is a cohort of under-40 leaders from around the world. To date, the community includes more than 1,400 members from over 120 countries, among them Jacinda Ardern. Over the next three years, the Class of 2026 will take part in a structured leadership programme, aligned with the Forum’s mission to move the state of the world forward, and tackle global challenges.

Celebrating you Ipsh*ta!! You inspire me.
Thank you for trusting me with your photos.

One of the many hats I’ve worn this year is Comm & Creative Producer for my incredible friend who runs Disastrous, training for people working in disaster response. Together we even launched a podcast called Disrupting Disasters 🌊🎙️ where she speaks to disaster experts about life on the climate frontier and how we need to do things differently! A bit of a side quest from my usual photography, but I’ve found the art of shaping a story applies the same to audio as it does to visuals.

Yesterday was a full circle moment, joining in for her Leading in Disaster Recovery Workshop. Witnessing the compassion and desire to help others and make a difference in the face of difficulty was a dose of hope and inspiration I needed this week.

so grateful for you and what our continued collaboration is teaching me. 💕💕

I’ll do another post soon with some podcasting behind the scenes snaps.🤠

The last photo is Eldred, Elizabeth’s mum, and a wonderful human. We make a good disastrous team!!
