photography
portraits • adventure • lifestyle
It all begins with an idea…
Maybe you are a mountain chaser. Maybe you collect landscapes and views. Maybe you want to capture the essence of your brand. Maybe you want a portrait of yourself, or maybe you have a special moment you want to celebrate forever.
Whatever it is, I’m here to capture the moments and craft the memories that will last a lifetime.
why go?
Hi, I’m Maki
I specialize in outdoor & adventure photography, because it’s where I feel most alive. I’m a tramper (the kiwi way of saying, hiker), and I always liked those amazing photos when we got to that amazing view & we were with that friend who has a camera, was happy to take it with, and shoots great photos.
Most of those make it to our profile pictures, as they show a beautiful memory and accomplishment at the same time. It even shows what we are passionate about - the outdoors!
So, I decided I wanted to become that buddy - outdoor photography for the outdoor people.
The whole point is actually going up a mountain together, having a great time, exploring & climbing - and, as a bonus, getting that shot.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a hiking photography adventure with Echo Photography. Maki's attention to detail and creative eye truly shine through in every shot. Couldn't be happier with the result of my experience with her work. If you're a hiking enthusiast looking to capture the magic of the outdoors, landscapes and memories, I absolutely recommend her.

Hobec used Echo Photography for our Christmas Party and are very happy we did! Maki is professional, followed the brief perfectly, is incredibly easy to work with and was lovely to have there on the day. On sending the final photos around after the event the feedback from the whole firm was very positive. 100% recommend for a corporate event – and I’m sure she would be excellent in any setting. We will see you at our next event Maki!
