About Me

My name is Bex and I’m a sports photographer and social media planner with a passion for women’s sports and outdoor adventure!

My Background

Growing up on the West Coast of Auckland, surrounded by wild beaches and rugged coastline, I spent a lot of time outdoors, at the beach or going on bush walks through the Waitakere Ranges.

Every summer, my family would go camping somewhere new; to a beach in the Bay of Islands in Northland, or to the Abel Tasman great walk in the South Island, or black water rafting at Waitomo to see the legendary glow worm caves.

During winter, we would get up insanely early and drive to Mt Ruapehu to go snowboarding, then at the end of the day we would pitch tents at a nearby DOC campsite. There is something unforgettable about using a bucket to scoop your own drinking water out of a freezing cold river surrounded by ice and snow! 

Throughout my teenage years, I belonged to a group called Christian Surfers, where I met my husband, Tim. We would go on surfing road trips around the North Island, getting up a dark o'clock so that we could arrive at the surf just as the sun was coming up. Since then, Tim and I have travelled around New Zealand in our converted van, with our giant brown dog, Mango.

Sports and Outdoor Adventure

I love sports.

I've played football (soccer) since high school and am still obsessed with it, over 20 years later! That's me, in the photo, wearing blue and white. All year round, I play different combinations of football: winter 11-aside, indoor soccer, futsal and summer soccer!

I also love jogging (I think it’s pronounced “yogging”), yoga, snowboarding, and rock climbing.

Photography

In high school, I picked up a black-and-white film camera and fell in love with photography. Let’s not talk about me failing photography that year! But I’ve been learning and growing as a photographer since then. I've worked professionally in the photo industry since 2006, including a few years as a military photographer in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Some of my favourite memories of the Air Force include jumping out the back of a Hercules for a tandem parachute jump, travelling to Kiribati on a Search and Rescue mission, and photographing the New Zealand Defence Force football teams playing in Sydney.

Family

I live at Bethells Beach in West Auckland with my husband, Tim, our son and daughter, and our insanely hyperactive dog, Banana.

We are blessed to be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Waitākere Ranges, with its bounty of bush walks and rugged coastline and wild beaches.

What is life for, if not to enjoy family, friends, sports, and adventures to beautiful places?
