/Biography
I LOVE to empower women to feel strong and beautiful in the skin they are in!
I have always felt a pull towards photography, ever since I was a young girl. I was often found playing with my Grandad’s bellows camera (Seen in the above images). Which was my inspiration into pursuing it as a career.
Since then, I have graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree of Visual Arts, majoring in photography. As well as successfully converting space on my lifestyle block into a self-sustained Private Photography Studio in 2020. Which, I find, creates a warm friendly atmosphere that my clients absolutely love. As its perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and allows space and privacy to find a unique experience for every client and ability to tailor the shoot to suit their requirements. Ideal for Boudoir Portraits which are my specialty!
As well as running my own Studio I also Tutor Photography at SIT. Seeing the upcoming talent of my students and watching them excel really ignites my passion for photography and connecting with people.
I strongly connect with the following quote by Alice Walker:
“Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your soul”
Being able to capture someone’s empowering moment is incredibly rewarding and I am honoured to play a part of the process.
