A creative journey begins
DM Jepsen Photography grew out of friendly encouragement and a growing love for sharing stories through the lens. I started close to home (Clevedon), building my Facebook page and gradually finding myself capturing the real moments that make South Auckland unique. Today I help people and animals across the region feel comfortable as I capture their stories, always with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach.

From playful foals to cats on windowsills, I try to create portraits that show your animal’s true personality. While I live in Clevedon, Papakura, I worked within the greater South Auckland area. But you never know I may just be in your area so give me a call or email.
Wildlife portraits
Careful and patient, my wildlife portraits celebrate the unique creatures found around New Zealand and sometimes if possible way beyond our shores.

Every photo is carefully refined, with gentle editing and retouching—never overdone, always true to the moment.
