Thanks for stopping by to have a look at SMILE:if you need a hand. Feel free to have a read about me and I hope you have enjoyed what you see.



I am the happily married to my wife Robyn (Sr. Therese COS) and we are blessed to have a 6 year old daughter, and I have the pleasure of being an at home dad.

​

Prior to our daughters birth I was a secondary school science teacher. The chemistry of "wet" photography got me hooked and I soon found that creating and capturing images held more attraction for me than an ionic bond.

​

During our daughters pre-school years I had a lot to do with Playcentre including the National Promotions team as Web Admin.   

 

I have been a semi-professionalism photographer for 6 years and a member of both Hutt and Rotorua Camera clubs. Wanting to up-skill my Photoshop work in 2010, I started studying through SIT and since I have completed the requirements  two diplomas in Digital Photography and Digital Film from SIT (Waiting on the formal graduation in Late 2013).  

​

In 2012 I felt God was calling me to move away from Omega Photography (my photography business) and to use my skills as a as a form of ministry to the community, both Christian and non-christian. 



So I set up the Facebook page and started using that to publish work that I had been doing in the community while I continued to study.

​

In early 2013 I had the privilege of taking photos for the Anglican Super Group and Anglican Youth Ministries for the 3rd year running. During that weekend I felt the call to start making my ministry more widely available, so here it is.   

​

I'm still finding out where this is going to take me, so your prayers and encouragement is always appreciated. 



Yours In Christ,

Chris
