Sara Tansy ~ Le Tans


I'm Sara, an American/English commercial photographer with an eye for detail and a love for storytelling through creative composition.


After being born in Fiji during the '87 coup, I sailed around the world with my family for 13 years before settling in New Zealand in the early '00s. This slightly off beat upbringing gave me a can-do attitude and a love for meeting people from all walks of life.


I have 11+ years experience working with clients throughout New Zealand and Australia.


I happily reside in Wellington, New Zealand with my dog, Bagel, and my three ducks, Lucky, Lennie & Louie.


My friendly, easy-going nature and dedicated work ethic make it simple and stress free to get professional photography for your next project.

“Sara absolutely nailed my campaign and studio shoot, really going above and beyond the brief - she competently handled the huge amount of work that went into the shoot. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and can't wait to work with her again!”

What my clients say

What my clients say

“Sara is a totally committed and talented photographer.

Bringing her Melbourne smarts to Wellington she’s shaken up the landscape and always has a crisp and unique take.

She’s well organised, reliable and also a pleasure for talent to work with.

Highly recommended woman behind a lens for all your Capital City needs.”
