Hi, I’m Keaton!
Originally from the United Sates (Nebraska), my wife Katie and I moved to Christchurch, New Zealand in 2022. After meeting in a touring performing organisation, we had the travel bug, and jumped at the opportunity to move overseas during a COVID visa window! We had never been to New Zealand, but had kiwi friends and knew it’d be a leap of faith that would work out.
And boy did it. We have loved experiencing all that Christchurch and the South Island have to offer—the sights, weather, and people are exactly what we had hoped.
I have been photographing people for over 10 years, a hobby of mine that took off into the perfect side-business for me. I love capturing the candid moments between two people, kids, and their families—knowing that these photos will be priceless memories to look back on as life flies by.
My style sits comfortably in comfort. No awkward posing or lighting, just natural moments that reflect you. I ensure everyone feels at ease during our session to get those real shots.
Outside of photography, you’ll find me enjoying my time as a Learning & Development professional, binge watching the latest docuseries, tending to our plants, or snuggling with our daughter who we welcomed in October of 2024.
I don’t keep it up to date much, but you can follow me on Instagram at @keatoneisenmengerphotography.
