Storytelling through lens

Welcome to Wonderland Lens

I'm Kaz, been behind the lens for over 10 years, chasing light, connection, and the kind of everyday magic most people walk right past. Wonderlens was inspired by Alice in Wonderland — because life is full of strange, beautiful moments if you know where (and how) to look. For me, that magic shows up when people are in their element — relaxed, laughing, slightly awkward but fully themselves. That’s what I’m here to capture.

My passion spans both film & digital photography, blending the nostalgic allure of reel film with the precision of digital artistry. Specializing in portrait photography, I capture real over perfect, quiet over flashy, and making photos that feel like something you’ll actually want to keep.

Let’s make something honest, a little magical, and a little unexpected — Wonderland style.

    I am also open to discussing any specific photography needs you may have. Feel free to reach out to discuss your vision further!

  • I encourage you to check out my gallery & Instagram to get an understanding of my style. I only do minor touch-ups & will never alter the way you look or replace a background of milky waves or add a blue sky on a not-so-sunny day.

    My photography style blends natural light with the contrast of black & white, creating emotive images with a light mood. I love playing with various lighting techniques to capture both vibrant & intimate moments, ensuring each frame tells a compelling story.

  • Pre-Shoot Consultation
    I take the time to understand your ideas & needs, ensuring a tailored photography experience that reflects your personality, vision & style. Fill in this pre-shoot survey & hop on a call.

    Headshots & Portraits
    I have always had an eye for capturing the beauty of a person in the swift of the moment. Visual storytelling has become second nature to me. By using natural lighting and comfortable locations, I create authentic, engaging, and timeless images.

    Fun Experience
    I know that not everyone loves being in front of the camera, as it can feel a bit stern or awkward. (I totally do that too in group photos!) With me, it's more than just taking photos – it's about having fun & feeling at ease! 🎉I am good at making the experience enjoyable.

    ✨We'll chat, laugh & I'll listen to your stories while capturing your authentic self. My creative approach, genuine enthusiasm & knack for finding the best angles ensure you'll get stunning, high-quality images that truly reflect who you are.

    I've got you covered. Let's roll! 📸

  • It starts at 20 images for an hour session. But this is just a guide for the very minimum number of images you will receive. I don’t withhold your images or request you pay for the extras. You will receive all of the very best shots from your shoot.

  • Sessions are available for a maximum of 5 people. To add more people, please reach our for a pricing guide.

  • I am based in the lovely West Auckland. Happy to travel all over Auckland for shoots. Travel or parking costs may apply. But if I am travelling to your area (out of Auckland) already, any travel costs will be waived.

  • Your location(s) of choosing!

    I love playing with natural light & experimenting with different lighting setups, so we can shoot outdoors, at your favourite cafe, in your cozy home or office, or anywhere else that inspires you.

    However, I don't do flash photography or set up indoor studio shoots.

  • Whatever you like!

    Whatever you are comfortable with. An oversized T, cocktail dress, or unicorn-themed PJ. Just be you & I will handle the rest.

    And yes, you are more than welcome to do an outfit change. I welcome it all!

  • Happy to offer some suggestions on what may or may not work well. And if you decide no activities, that’s absolutely cool too! We can find a local beach that is special to you, or a panic spot or your go-to cafe.

    If you love the magic of golden hour like I do, then Auckland’s West Coast is always an option. The key thing is to have fun & just be you. I am here to take care of the rest. 😊

  • Heck yea! It makes complete sense to make sure we are the right fit & you can feel comfortable for our session.

    This is what the free consultation (zoom) call is for, or I am more than happy to meet you for a cup of coffee.
