Where to Find Me...


Let’s just say, if I ever go suspiciously quiet and stop replying to emails, you might want to check the dream homes I have just photographed for Lighthouse Beach Constructions in beautiful Port Macquarie. Think breathtaking views, gorgeous finishes, and interiors that could double as magazine spreads. Yep. Actual dream homes. And here’s the best part—one of these beauties is available to book on Airbnb. So if you’re already picturing yourself sipping wine on the deck, you can make that happen!

Modern poolside lounge area with striped umbrella and chaise loungers overlooking palm trees and ocean view.
A series of white brick walls with wooden slat gates and house numbers displayed against painted brick surfaces.

Bespoke Port Macquarie Custom Builder


It wasn’t just the coastal views that had me at hello. It was the way every detail of the builds had been thought through so perfectly. Teaming up with talented local Port Macquarie builders like Dan from Lighthouse Beach Constructions means stepping into spaces filled with care, craft, and incredible design.

Editorial Property Photography Style


I’m super lucky to work with a handful of talented builders, stylists and tradespeople around the Mid North Coast, helping them showcase the incredible homes, renovations, and projects they’re bringing to life. I shoot properties with an editorial photography style, think more images you would find in a home magazine or a gorgeous social media feed. I don’t just take stock standard wide angle real estate photos, you will get some wide angle shots but your gallery will be much more varied so you can use the images on websites, social media, printed publications etc. If you’re after cookie-cutter boring real estate images, I might not be your girl. But if you want photos that make people feel something - hello, Airbnb hosts, custom builders, boutique accommodation, specialist tradespeople, interior designers and interior lovers in general, keep reading my little dream client...

Don't Tell the ATO!


I now bring my little styling kit to every shoot—think linen throws, cute tea towels, beautiful candles, fresh greenery, baked treats, fresh loaves of bread, stylish books, magazines and whatever else I think might work for each shoot to give the space a lived-in feel. And yes, occasionally, I might snack on my tax-deductible props! Shhh. Don’t tell the Tax Office.

Port Macquarie Property & Interiors Photography


So, whether you’re building a luxe coastal home, renovating a heritage cottage, or listing your holiday rental —I’d love to capture some beautiful images for you. I'm Kris a professional photographer working for Kristen Shaw Photography (the boss is a slave driver) based in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast but I'm always happy to travel (a small travel fee may apply) to capture images of stunning properties. Send me a message and we can start planning. A big thanks to Lighthouse Beach Constructions for letting me capture two of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever photographed. Give Dan a follow on Instagram, as well as their gorgeous builds they also post lots of beautiful home inspiration ideas so well worth a follow. And if one certain photographer does go missing…I’m definitely not living in the pantry of one of these gorgeous homes with a cheese platter! 


Cheers
