What is the difference between your two print options?
Enhanced Matte - 210gsm
Enhanced Matte is a mid-weight premium art paper with a smooth matte surface. It’s a natural white, acid-free and printed with archival pigment inks. This is your more affordable option. I wanted to have this available so my art would be attainable for everyone!
Smooth Cotton Rag - 270gsm (archival)
Smooth Cotton Rag is a heavy-weight 100% cotton fibre art paper with a smooth matte surface. This is your creme de la creme option. Printed with archival inks on archival paper, you get a long-lasting, luxe finish.
What do you mean “acid-free”?
This is a special paper that basically means that the paper won’t brown or decompose over time.
And what are “archival papers and inks” all about?
The holy grail of Fine Art Prints. Archival ink is specifically designed to be resistant to weathering and fading so that it will last for a long time. In other words, your print will look fresh as for ages! Archival inks work best when printed on archival paper, ensuring a long and happy life for your favourite Lola prints.
Can you frame my print too?
At this stage, framing is not available to order online. However if you are New Zealand based, please send me an email to hello@lolaphotography.co.nz and I can get that organised in a jiffy!
I want a photo that I can’t see on your site, how do I order it?
Please email hello@lolaphotography.co.nz including a screenshot or link of the photo you are interested in and the size you’d like. I will either add it to the site or create a custom order special just for you!
How do I care for my print?
Fine art paper can be delicate, and images with deep blacks can scratch easily. To avoid any boo-boos, make sure you handle your new print with clean, dry hands and open your package in a dry, spacious indoor area away from food and liquids.
What framers do you recommend for your prints? (NZ ONLY)Factory Frames

When is your Christmas order cut off date?
My printing studio can get very busy leading up to Christmas, so I highly recommend you get your print orders in by the 6th December to allow for printing and postage time.
Can I commission an art piece?
Most definitely. Get in touch to let me know what you have in mind. Usually my clients will just send me off to their favourite place in NZ (or the world) and see what I come up with!
GENERAL
Can I license pre-existing photography for editorial or commercial use?
Yes of course! Please get in contact so we can discuss what I have available and licensing fees.
What camera do you use?
My current set up is as below:
Nikon D750

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8 ED - My go to lens for nearly everything!

I’m coming to New Zealand. Where should I visit?
Blog post of my favourite spots in the making. Come back soon!
Can I assist for you?
I’m not currently looking for an assistant and often manage shoots by myself or with my husband and friends. However, next year I will be looking at taking on one-off assistants, so keep an eye out on my Instagram for updates.
How long have you been a photographer?
Nearly 10 years!
How do I become a full time photographer like you?
Shoot shoot shoot! In my 10 years experience, I have only been a full time professional photographer for half of that. They say it takes 10,000 hours doing something to become an expert in it. It’s not going to happen overnight (unless you go viral, then high bloody five). One of the best things I did was assist for other successful photographers. It gave me a really useful insight into different genres of photography while picking up the best tips and tricks.
Why is the ocean such a central theme to your work?
Living in New Zealand has given me a very natural affinity for the ocean. I spend a lot of my life in and around it, so it’s easy to be inspired by it. It’s beautiful, yet terrifying and interacts with light in the coolest way.
Can I buy your presets?
Not yet…
WEDDINGS
Do you still shoot weddings?
I'm so sorry, but as of the end of 2020, I will no longer be shooting weddings. I’m still open to shooting elopements and small scale celebrations, so if that’s a bit of you, flick me an email!
