I have known Cody since he was a little kid. When he asked me the other day to take some maternity photos of his lovely partner Katelyn and himself, I couldn’t say no.
I am so glad he thought of me when he thought they needed to get some photos. I think they turned out great.

Another one of those shoots that never made it onto my website.
Kimmi and I have worked together a few times in the past. This time it was a maternity shoot with her first child.
We picked a lovely location by the lake and got some wonderful photos.

A shoot from 2022 that never made it onto my website. The awesome Marissa. We had so much fun with this shoot. She was a joy to photograph.
Looking forward to working with her again this year.

I was scrolling through Instagram one day and found a wonderful portrait of a local lady called Tara. I thought to myself that I would love to photograph this person.
I dropped her a line and she was excited to work with me. Little did I know, she had some absolutely incredible tattoos, so had to capture some of them!
We spent a bit of time this morning taking some lovely photos in one of my favourite locations - Mount Stromlo.
As is always the case, we were bombarded with cyclists but I think we managed to get some great photos.
Read MorePhotography has always been one of my main creative outlets.
I have a Monday-Friday job which I enjoy and colleagues that I love working with. That has meant I never really pursued being a photographer as my primary source of income.
Don’t get me wrong it’s always lovely to be paid for something you consider yourself rather good at. But for me, I never really wanted it to become “my job”.
Having people tell me how much they loved having their photos taken, how much fun it was, or the confidence boost it gives them is wonderful.
Reading a positive comment means far more to me than money, likes and shares.
Not doing this as a job has meant that I haven’t really promoted myself as much as I probably should, nor have I been actively searching for work.
As a result, the last two years (with COVID and me feeling rather uninspired) has been extremely quiet with portrait shoots.
For 2023 I wanted to set myself a goal.
I want to do at least two portrait shoots per month. (One done for Jan so far. Yay).
I am friends with photographers that shoot hundreds of clients a year and knock out “my goal” multiple times a day. But that’s not me.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a boudoir, maternity or just a crazy themed portrait shoot.
I just want to be more creative and active with my portrait photography this year.
If you would like to have your photo taken this year, please contact me through this website or send me a DM on instagram. I would love to work something out.
This is not my job, I just love making photos that both the person photographed, myself and lastly the public love.
