About Us

Combining experience, expertise and a GENEROUS SPLASH of humour, Helen & Nykie make your shoot easy, fun and surprisingly fast - you can trust them to create truely engaging images and capture you so you look your best.

THE TEAM

We bring to the table experience of life’s ups and downs, our multi-media work history and a ton of creative energy.

We could geek-out with you about the technical side if that’s what you want, but our overriding goal, and what we do on all our shoots, is to put you at ease and make sure you enjoy your shoot experience.

Meet Nykie (aka Nykie-Noodle, Nyk, pronounced Nicky)

Professionally shooting since 2009 (ages, right?), Nykie’s passion for photography has taken her through all kinds of shoots—families, kids, babies, CrossFit competitions, gyms, products, and more.

The genre that has captivated her imagination the longest led to the birth of SheShoots: capturing rad people running rad businesses. 👌🏻

On weekends, you’ll find her hanging out with her furry bestie, Maggie the Border Terrier, and her human family in Muriwai Valley. 🌳

Meet Helen (aka Hells-bells, Hells)

Helen is absolutely nuts about knitting, meeting new people, and spending time with her Mini Schnauzer, Scratch & her gorgeous family in Haupai. 🐕

You’ll often spot Helen on local community pages in Northwest Auckland, where she's known for offering beginner knitting classes and lending a hand with all sorts of things—because that's just who she is. She’s a non-stop learning machine who seems to know tips & tricks about almost anything. There’s no such thing as an awkward silence with Helen on board ;)

A helpful, empathetic soul✨

us Behind the scenes & CREATIVE PLAY ❤

Helen and Nykie have a combined photography experience of 432 years. Ha ha, not really, that would be silly.  But we have been professional photographers for over a decade and do know a thing or seven about photography and capturing compelling imagery.
