Hi, I am Tara, Potgieter.


A free-spirited South African who has been living in stunning New Zealand since 2019. I am currently embracing the vibrant energy of bustling Auckland and I am the creative behind all these photographs.


I am an adventure enthusiast and a lover of all beautiful moments, sunrises, sunsets, starry nights sunshine you’ll find me basking in all their splendor. I am happiest in a new environment tucked behind my camera capturing the world from my perspective. I choose to combine my talent in capturing details of all things beautiful and enjoying life. 


I want to influence those around me to live courageously and do what they believe is the impossible. While spreading kindness and embracing all that life throws at us, choosing to stay grateful and authentic in all that we do. I love that quote, " It's actually your duty to live life as fully as possible". I find joy in meeting new people and listening to their perspectives on life. Photography gives me the opportunity to look at life from another perspective. 


It was never suppose to be a job, for me it was a creative escape, and I have loved sharing my love of moments with all those that allow me too. I love those moments I get to stop time and capture all your unique moments in an environment where you are surrounded by those you value, so that you can enjoy them for a lifetime.
