I drew a lot as a kid, but I was impatient. Photography gave me a way of creating faster, but ironically I still spend hours in front of a computer screen editing. I believe the photograph is only a portion of the work, and editing is the magic touch.

I started with creative portraiture, including a lot of self portraits – crafting scenes around fantasy themes and mythology – but after studying at UniSA and RMIT I was encouraged to pursue fashion photography as a way to make a career in the industry. I worked for Pacific Magazines in Sydney for a number of years and did a bunch of freelance work for various clients including Adobe, Wacom and Ford, before realising my passion had started draining away.

I returned home to Adelaide in 2016, a bit lost and unsure of where I was heading with my career. The fashion industry wasn’t for me, so I fell in to wedding photography as it offered a great balance of candid, documentary style shooting and creative portraiture. Plus, it was such a wholesome change – I started to love what I was doing again and the feedback from my clients always left me with the warm fuzzies. About 8 months after launching in to my own photography business full time, I met my future husband Pete. I started to really understand what all these couples felt (gross) which only amplified my desire to shoot more of this crazy little thing called love.

In 2020 I revived a past love for games and cosplay, which led to re-discovering my love for creative portraiture. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with some incredibly skilled and creative people and continue to do so more often than I could have ever dreamed of. I’ve started crafting and creating sets again too, and experimenting with all the things that bring me excitement and pride.

And that brings us to now – currently residing in Melbourne with my husband Pete and our 4 cats – Fugglehops, Dexter, Carter and Bernard – creating, learning and growing every day. Let’s grow together.
