KELLY O’HARA – FAMILY & EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER
Waikato - Bay of Plenty - New Zealand
I capture vibrant, heartfelt moments that celebrate family, connection, and community — whether it’s a milestone event, a sports day, or a quiet moment at home.
About Kelly
After earning a BA in Media and Photography, I spent several years abroad in business administration before returning to New Zealand in 2005 with my husband to build our life (and our construction business!) together.
Now, with our three sporty sons grown and independent, I’m back doing what I love most — creating images that feel genuine, relaxed, and full of personality.
