About

As a heart-led photographer, my passion is to create images that resonate with the soul. I believe in the power of being seen and that our little moments, our every day moments, are the ones that matter most.

Life is messy and chaotic, and so beautiful in all of that chaotic messiness. It’s easy to forget to stop and notice the beautiful in the mundane. That’s what I’m here for. I notice it for you and capture it so you can remind yourself whenever you need to. All those little connections you don’t see because they happen so many times in a day. The pushing of the hair out of the face, the doing up of buttons, the tying of shoes. The quick kiss to the forehead or the hand at the small of your back. Tiny things, details that connect us to each other. The laughter, the tears, the tantrums, the spilled milk, the overflowing bath, the sandy bum after the beach and the sheer joy of running away from the ocean catching you. All of these things matter and I love capturing them for you.

 

Professional and Creative Experience

Life long learning is important to me as an artist and creative to continually push myself and hone my craft not only for my own benefit in my work, but also pass my knowledge, experience and shooting expertise onto to others looking to explore the same pursuits.
