i'm your anything-but-robot bestie behind the camera
If you’re after nostalgic, raw, love-soaked, romantic, messy, authentic and magical memories, then I’m the perfect match for you and your priceless moments.
When do I produce my best work?
When couples, families or individuals invite me to capture their life full of emotions.
People game enough to show up in all their glory. On camera.

A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SESSION DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DAUNTING
That’s if you track down a professional photographer who…
- Takes the time to get to know you
- Loves the story behind the shoot as much as the process
- Shows up as your friendly sidekick rather than a snap-taking robot
I’m a self-confessed true romantic at heart who loves raw emotions with all their ups and downs.
And for as long as I can remember, I’ve had a camera on hand to witness this incredible rollercoaster of life.
When I was a little girl, my 4-month-old baby sister sadly passed away and left a big hole in our family and in my heart. And sadly we have less than ten photos with her as a family.
It was my dad who gave me my first camera - a Minolta x-700, 35mm film camera. And together we changed our approach and went on a mission to preserve as many family memories as we could. That involved turning our family garage into a makeshift darkroom.
So many fond memories right there!
So when I decided to support my passion for photography with the ACTUAL formal skills it took me on a journey of self-discovery and didn’t come as a big surprise to those closest to me.
Little did I know this was going to be the start of an incredible journey that has seen me shoot 450+ precious moments with couples, families and precious individuals all across Sydney and beyond.
And over the past 10+ years I’ve seen it all:
Which means that anything you THINK could be an issue, won’t phase me in the slightest.
As a professional photographer, I take genuine pride in my work.
And that shows in the meticulous details that go with every shoot―before, during and after.
Details that will make your priceless memories extra special.
