Freelance writer + photographer | Bay of Islands, New Zealand

Cornelia Luethi: freelance writer in New Zealand

Hi, I'm Cornelia Luethi, and I'm here to tell your story in both words and pictures.
Hi, I’m Cornelia Luethi, and I’m here to tell your story with words and pictures.

Hi, my name’s Cornelia Luethi, a freelance writer with 24+ years’ business communication experience, covering travel, technology, food and wine, trades, property, and more. Here’s where you can see my writing portfolio.

I’m also a photographer: I specialise in candid, natural images that tell a story. That includes travel photography, as well as photos of my clients just doing their thing.

I’m based in Kerikeri in the beautiful Bay of Islands – hence Baywatcher. I work with local businesses throughout Northland, though most of my customers are in Auckland and overseas.

Let me create and communicate your whole story, with both words and pictures.
Or just words. Or just pictures… I’m flexible. 🙂

Finally getting around to updating my work portfol Finally getting around to updating my work portfolio! 😊

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Dr Kimberly Pugh at @breathe_chiropractic for her new website, designed by @zewnealanddesign . 📷

This was to go with the SEO website copy I’d already written for the site. ✏️

It was a pleasure to photograph Dr Kim and her model. 💖

The consultation room had lovely natural light, but a corner of it was quite dark, so I brought a range of lighting equipment to even out the lighting. ✨

Photo editing after the shoot included removing distracting background items, such as power points. Very subtle colour changes were applied for a look consistent with the client’s new brand. ✔️

12 more Northland children will have blankets, jac 12 more Northland children will have blankets, jackets, beanies and socks this winter, thanks to my fab client, Executive Coaching & Consulting. ❤️

You see, for every continuous 12 months a client works with me, I donate half of my monthly fee to @baldangels 😊

@baldangels is an amazing, hands-on Northland charity that helps the most vulnerable in our community. They have many initiatives, but the one we donated to is the 'Keep Our Kids Warm' project. This really speaks to me, because (a) I find the cold utterly miserable, and (b) I've never been as cold as I have in New Zealand - the damp cold we have here chills you right through to the bone. On top of that, the houses here are often poorly constructed, with little or no insulation or heating. The thought of kiddies living like this is unthinkable but sadly very common - and the poorest don't even have warm, cosy things to wrap up in. ❄️

Thank you, Executive Coaching & Consulting, for being such an awesome client, and for making this donation possible. 👍

St John the Baptist is in Wittersham, the village where I grew up in Kent, England. 

The church is next to my old primary school, and it’s where we had our harvest festivals, nativity plays, christingles, etc. 🎃 

It’s also the church that held the funeral services for my mum and my dad. 💞

What people are saying…

James Backhouse, JBU“What I like most about working with Cornelia is her ability to listen to what the client actually wants – and then she makes her own observations. I’ve found that Cornelia provides value for money; brings me the right kinds of customers; and is consistent, which provides continuity in my business.

I would totally and utterly recommend Cornelia: she is a total professional, and her work generates results. I have been working with Cornelia for the past ten years, on and off, and would not even dream of going elsewhere. Everything she does is clear and precise.”
