Over the last 20 years, I've learnt a thing or two about how to help people feel as comfortable as possible in front of my lens. Why? So that I can make imagery that has a sense of honesty about what the moment meant to each person, and both the macro and micro moments that will be important for the later years. It's an intuitive approach to family portraits, purely from my perspective.

Hiring a photographer to come into your life to make images of your loved ones isn't just about a fun experience and nice decoration for the walls. Photographs, especially in the tangible form, invite us to see our past in new ways, even if it was just last week. To see more truth than what our limited perception may sometimes allow us to remember how loved we were, and are.

This is why it has always felt so moving to look through old family albums. You are touching your past with your hands and heart, not just with your eyes.

The vision for my This Is Us sessions is to invite you into an experience of presence and to allow the natural unfolding of your life and love, just like you would if I wasn't there with a camera. You and your loves just being here and now. Nothing else is more important, and nothing else matters but your love.

Sounds a little terrifying, right?

An ode to my favourite muse, toddlers. And when they come as twins, gah!

We can learn a lot from our tiny friends. They live every moment of life to the fullest. If they’re happy you know it, if they are sad you know it, if they are angry you know it.
Anytime I hangout with a toddler, camera or not, I generally walk away from the interaction laughing haha but also inspired to step more fully into my own expression of life.

Thanks, my sweet and wild little friends.

This series is from a session with a dear friend of mine and you her incredible twins, Juni and Marley.

Do you have a toddler or two and have been wanting to get some family portrait but the idea has terrified you? Follow the link in my bio and let’s talk. I make it far from a terrifying experience. We’ll embrace the wild and wonderful.

A delicious winters afternoon hanging out in the top of a waterfall with the little darling Omni and her beautiful mama. This is a space they come to so often it’s their lounge room.

To observe this pair just playful bounce from rock to rock was mesmerising and beautifully complimented the calm stillness as they sat on the sunny rocks enjoying snacks of bananas, cheese and corn chips.

The magical moments of imaginary play as they dug for crystals. Little eye in awe of the shiny gems her man’s hands found

No thing, moment or feeling last forever. It’s all beautifully fleeting. ✨
