life update: my son is bonkers!

in 2024 I had a baby!

In 2025, that baby is bonkers! He’s so turbo and I love him to bits, but he takes up a fair whack of my time and energy.

So, I will be taking limited bookings in 2025.

When I was 14, my Mum ( a professional photographer) let me play with her old DSLR camera.

With old camera in hand, I sent my friends out into the ocean, wearing wedding dresses from op shops and I took their photo.

I made a whoe bunch of drama students jump into the air at sunset and then photoshopped the crap outta them.

I photographed every single neighbourhood cat I could see.

And I haven’t really stopped since, but I have refined my style a bit. That being said, I still photograph a lot drama kids, every neighbourhood cat I see, and I’m not opposed to making people wander into the ocean for a photoshoot…

I’m interested in creating peculiar, unique, interesting portraits of people.

I love a brief that starts with “this might sound weird but…”.

I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients including but not limited to neurodivergent, gender diverse and queer people.

I would love to hear your ideas.

While I photograph across many locations, I would like to pay my respects to the Bunerong and the Wawoorung clans of the Kulin nation, whose lands I have the privilege to work from as a home base. I would also like to pay my respect to elders past and present of the Kulin nation and extend my respect to other indigenous people.
