I am a studio pet photographer based in the beautiful Wairarapa, New Zealand. In my spare time I love to photograph the smaller and less trained (but no less cute) critters out in nature!
I hold a Master of Photography (Distinction 1 bar) with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP).

TESTIMONIALS & AWARDS
"I purchased a piece of artwork from Helen Smith at an art show in Carterton. The picture was expertly captured and managed to include the softness of the subject in such a creative way that it was so much more than a photo. It is the centre piece of my lounge and gets comments on a regular basis. It is quite simply exquisite"
"I recently purchased one of Helen's night sky photographs. I absolutely LOVE IT! Helen was easy to deal with when changing the medium the picture was printed on and the end result was amazing"
"Helen does an amazing job with her photography. My purchased print is hanging proudly in my master bedroom and has added so much dimension to the space. Absolutely stunning and I can’t wait for my next one"
