Kia Ora, Oh Hey!
I’m Aneta, the photographer and filmmaker behind The Honest Collections. For almost a decade, I’ve been capturing love stories, milestones, events, and everything in between.
I draw inspiration from real people, real moments, and real emotion.
My style is authentic, pure, candid, and emotion evoking.
Just pure story-telling through beautiful imagery!
Whether it’s kaupapa Māori, your wedding love story, an event, your branding vision, a sports moment, or preserving family memories, my focus is on capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of every experience.
It’s a privilege to document all of life’s moments for you—so you, your whānau, and future generations can relive them exactly as they were.
I love what I do, and I can’t wait to tell your story through my eyes.
“She's one of those photographers that will actually make you laugh and capture you in your element. It doesn't feel weird having a camera in your face with Aneta cause she brings her real self, so you can be yours.”
- Emily
“A huge thank you to Honest Collections Photography for capturing memories with so much care and aroha. I had the honour of meeting Aneta at my sons school powhiri and the photos that she took of my whanau are now priceless taonga, we are forever grateful and beyond impressed at her ability to beautifully freeze the most special moments in time forever. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!”
- Watts Whanau
“Aneta did a photoshoot for me and my little girl, and I am obsessed! She was incredible to deal with from start to finish and knew exactly how to handle my 5 year old. She made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out so beautiful. We wouldn't hesitate to use Aneta again and refer her to anyone!”
- Dee
“What I love about Aneta, is that she makes you feel so comfortable - my hubby was a bit aprehensive about being in front of a camera, and even though it was our first time meeting her she immediately put us at ease and as a result our photos aren’t stiff or awkward, they are as warm as she is and we got to bathe in that warmth and now we shine through our photos too.”
- Melanie
