Hello there


So I thought I'd make a blog so you can get to know me on a more personal level, after all, you need to feel completely comfortable with your photographer.

I'm married to an amazing man who supports me and all that I want to do in life, we went to high school together and I had a crush on him in year 7! We didn't fall in love till after school and although we are so different in so many ways, somehow, we are perfect together, Yin & Yang. We have a beautiful little boy, who has a smile that brightens the world and a wonderful boxer dog who just wants to be with us at all times. I have an amazing family and wonderful friends, all of whom I would do anything for and who I couldn't live without.

My passion in life (other than my family and friends) is my photography. I feel so privileged to be able to work in the industry I love so much and even more privileged to be chosen to take your photos and be a part of your special occasions. My passion for photography started when I was 16 and my Dad and I use to set up a dark room together. He taught me all about how a camera works and we had so much fun experimenting in the dark room that it soon became my passion and my career goal.

After high school I completed a BA in Photography at Charles Sturt University in Albury. In the 3 years I was at uni I learnt so much and I left uni more determined than ever to follow my dreams. One thing was certain, I wanted to take portrait photos, I loved getting to know a person through the lens of a camera and wanted to create natural, fun photos. I took my first wedding photos while at uni and slowly did more weddings through word of mouth. Nothing made me happier than photographing a wedding or doing a portrait photo shoot. After one wedding I came home on cloud nine, I hadn't been so happy in a long time and it was my husband that encouraged me to start a web site, advertise and really make a go of having my own business. Now here I am, still on cloud nine after every photo shoot and still loving what I do. The dark room in the laundry with my Dad is gone but my passion has only grown.

So some general trivia about me other than my passion for what I do - I love with all my heart, I love to watch a good chick flick with my girls, my favourite chocolates are malteesers and I love Italian food. I love summer for swimming and winter for skiing. I love to cuddle! Beautiful shoes and boots are my fashion weakness. My favourite sound in the world, is the sound of my son laughing, it brings a smile to my face and makes my heart leap. I'm at my happiest, the real me, with a camera in my hand or spending time with my loved ones (both is even better!)

Now you know a little more about me, feel free to say hi, I'd love to know more about you too, after all, it helps me take a photo that reflects the true you.
