OH, HEY THERE!

Thanks for popping by. I’m Stephanie Soh Lavemaau — a documentary-style photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand.

I specialise in capturing honest, unposed moments: the little glances, belly laughs, messy bits, and magic that make real life beautiful. Whether it's your family in full, happy chaos, your brand doing what it does best, or the energy of a boxing fight night, my goal is always the same — to help people feel seen and celebrated, just as they are.

My superpower is noticing those in-between, deeply human moments and bringing the truest sparkle out of whoever’s standing in front of my lens.

Alongside photography, I’ve spent over a decade working in brand and digital strategy in the non-profit world. I’ve always been drawn to stories that matter and people doing meaningful things — and that carries over into everything I do behind the camera.

If you’re after images that feel true to you — warm, alive, and full of story — I’d love to hear from you. Flick me an email — I can’t wait to chat.
