Hi, I'm Nami and this is my story...

Nami Creative started back in 2019. My life got flipped upside down after a major wake-up call. I found myself going through a divorce, and for the first time, I had to ask myself some big questions: “Who am I, really? What do I want my life to be like?”

It sounds a bit funny, but I didn't even know my favorite music or ice cream flavour because I'd always been in a relationship. Here I was in my early thirties, worrying if I'd ever find true love again, or if I'd ever get the chance to have a family.

At 31 and freshly divorced, I felt like a complete failure. My self-doubt was at an all-time high. Plus, my family was on the other side of the world, I moved to New Zealand on my own in my twenties. I felt super lonely and lost. If that wasn't the icing on the cake, I was stuck in a dead-end office job that paid minimal and I realized I had three options: change, accept, or leave.

I decided to change. I chose to put myself first and give my life a complete makeover. I started working on myself, setting boundaries for the first time - pretty crazy, right?

Since then, I've been on a journey of self-discovery, focusing on aligning with my higher self and my true purpose every day. For the longest time, I couldn't see my own inner light and goddess essence. But through inner work, facing some harsh truths, and making changes in my life, I slowly rekindled the light that was always there, just waiting to shine.

"Ready to find your own creative north star, expand your skills, transform your business, and get re-inspired to do the work that lights you up?"

Now, my mission is to empower other women photographers, to be their guide and hold their hand through their photography transformation, helping them tap into their inner power and love themselves on a much deeper level.

I've been a professional photographer for over 15 years, but it was in late 2019 that I found my real passion: capturing the beauty and essence of women. Since then, I've become the industry leader in transformative photoshoot experiences for women and I had the privilege of photographing and creating a safe, empowering space for over 850 amazing women on their unique journeys.

I am now on a mission to provide resources, tools, and a supportive community to photographers at every level of their journey.

Through Nami Creative Education, my mission is to foster a vibrant community of women where we can all grow and learn together. My commitment to your success as a photographer is tenfold. I'm here for you every step of the way.

When I'm not behind the camera you will find me chasing after my toddler, discussing ideas with my friends or sunbathing by the beach.

I want to learn from you

Join me in this journey of empowerment and creative growth. It's time to create something amazing together.

Why learn from me?

I know what it's like to be a creative soul with big dreams and how it feels to not knowing how to get to where you want to be.

I have been a photographer for over 15 years and only in the past 4 years become my authentic and empowered creative self.

I have photographed and empowered over 850 women since the start of Nami Creative and am an expert when it comes to transformative experiences. I know how to empower women in front of the camera, how to take incredible portraits of all women and now teach others how to do the same.

Before I started Nami Creative I often doubted myself "me a creative and making more money than my parents? No way" , I ignored my inner voice and listened to my family, society and people close to me who didn't believe I could make a life as a creative.

I wish I learnt to listen to my inner voice earlier. I wish I had creative souls to lean on and grow with. I am extremely committed to get you to where I am today a hundred times faster, less alone and with lots of fun and support along the way.

Life is meant to be fun and that we are meant to to do what light our soul up.

Let the incredible journey to you most authentic self begin today, I am so excited to have you here with me!

Let's learn together!
