Clarence Valley’s Fine Art Photographer

“Childhood is a beautiful experience”

My Story

I didn’t plan on becoming a photographer, I was almost finished my bachelor of education when I had my first miscarriage, shortly after I got really sick and had to defer out of university. I taught instrumental music for another year before moving interstate and starting life again.

After several more miscarriages, a diagnosis and a complicated pregnancy, I finally held my first baby in my arms and I knew, that hobby I had would turn into so much more. 3 more miscarriages, 4 more kids, 1 more diagnosis, and 10 years later, my journey into and through motherhood led me here. Passionately preserving every good and beautiful moment that is childhood.

Family is my greatest blessing, and I strive to photograph as many beautiful family moments and connections as I can. Photographing Newborns right through to Multi generational images. Because Family is EVERYTHING

Inspirational

Life is full of inspirational moments. We so often comment on how quickly the year has flown by, or how quickly our children are growing. We grieve that we no longer have little babies and surprised how quickly children grow up and leave our homes.
I want to take the time to slow life down a little and captured the soul filling moments while our children are still in our home. Watching as little ones explore the vast and textured world around them, the smell of a newborns feet, and the heart melting way a mother looks at her newborn baby for the first time. . .

I have a list of life’s inspirations a mile long,
Have you ever noticed a single yellow leaf on an otherwise boring footpath, or the vibrancy of colour when the seasons changes.

Life happens all around us, I simply want to capture each authentic moment in the most beautiful ways
