About Me

Photography is about capturing images that fill your heart...

I have always been fascinated with photography, even as a young child I would attempt to play with our family camera and was amazed when the roll of film was developed!  In high school I was obsessed with taking photos and developing them in the dark room ~ it was magic and had me hooked even further! Since then I have always had a camera, but when I had my own children I realised how important images are to capture moments that are so fleeting. Looking back at a photo and reminiscing about that moment in time still can bring a flood of emotions!

I am a Primary School Teacher (with too many years of experience to admit to), teaching part time since my children where young.  I finally took the leap and started my business when my son was at Kindy and I absolutely love it!  The mix of teaching and photography feeds my soul (as corny as that sounds).  I am so passionate about capturing images that showcase the personality and uniqueness of your family ~ images you will want to look back on forever. Having lots of experience with Children means you can let me worry about them and just enjoy the experience!

When I’m not shooting or in the classroom, I’m usually with my kids and husband, as well as our new puppy hanging out at the beach (my happy place) or in the forest exploring and having adventures. I enjoy camping, paddle boarding and still playing sports such as netball and touch.  I have amazing friends and enjoy socialising too ~ music, friends and a glass of wine make an awesome afternoon!

What does this mean for you?

It means that I’m doing something I absolutely love and I am very passionate about it so you are in good hands. I’m infinitely patient and I genuinely care for my clients. I’ll ensure that your experience with me is fun and relaxed, and I’ll go the extra mile to get the images you want, because I care about getting beautiful images of your family as much as you do!
