My favourite part of photography is connecting with people. I’m an observer of moments and a feeler of emotions.

I love to document how things are, your love, your home, the smallest change in your facial expressions, where you choose to have your wedding day, who you choose to surround yourself with. I love mood and warmth and intention. I think it’s important to truly feel and notice all those things in order to best tell your story. Having the honour of sharing a wedding day with my couples never really feels like work. It’s a privilege to be welcomed in to someone’s whole world and be trusted to capture all that that includes.

I find peace in forests, calm by the ocean and inspiration in the mountains.

I find life fascinating; being honest, vulnerable, joyful, open and interested in people really helps me make the most of it. I’ve been told I have a sense of quiet calm and a depth that’s easy to get lost in. 

I’ve spoken at creative retreats artist talks across Australia and New Zealand. It inspires and terrifies me in equal measures. I’ve photographed people in the most perfect rolling hills in Tasmania to the most isolated deserts in Saudi Arabia but it’s the people, the people always shine the brightest. 

I acknowledge the Aboriginal owners of lutruwita/Tasmania where I live and work, the muwinina and melukerdee people of the South East Nation.  It is with the greatest respect that I call this place home, knowing that land was never ceded. 

A GENTLE SOUL. A LOVER. A LIFE DOCUMENTER.
