Throwback to one of the most wonderful weddings I've ever had the privilege of photographing. I've known this couple for a long time even before getting to capture their special day, as I had the enormous pleasure of working with Corey's beautiful Mama in the trenches of ACT Health as an Art Therapist at the Mental Health Unit there.

And what a time we had! I can honestly say it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life and I miss it frequently! The hour and 45 minute each way commute not so much, but our team was sooooo good! And getting to support people through their most challenging moments is a truly humbling privilege.

And then as luck would have it i got to know Jodi's family, transitioned into the photog world and was privileged to get to photograph two stunning souls sharing their love with some of the coolest people i know. Mahalia Stanley and Corey i don't know if you know this but you and your wedding was a bit of a tipping point for me. I was falling more and more in love with photography and contemplating the journey forward...and as you can see, all these years later here I am, still photographing souls and loving it!!

P.s. also how awesome was the casual upgrade on venue room on the day! What a wedding gift! Haha!

P.s. and yes I've used the word 'privilege' a lot in this post but I really do mean it!

What a weekend! What an adventure! What wickedly beautiful love was celebrated!!!!
I don't take on many weddings a year, but boy oh boy! The ones I do blow me away every.single.time! And and Jason's wedding was certainly no exception.
Every single part of there day was so lovingly crafted to reflect each glistening facet of their relationship, their family and their values. On the most lovely sunshiney day they were surrounded by their favourite souls, making their vows in the place where they met, serenaded by their favourite music (almost! Hahaha! you'll get me!), with hearfelt words spoken by loved ones.
That's what make their day memorable - the sweetness imbued in the genuine moments making every memory something meaningful and precious.

As time ticks on what are the fond memories you hold dear in your heart? What is it that makes you smile in the dead of night as you remember a soft touch, a deep belly laugh, a sarcastic look from a sibling, holding your precious person by the cracking warmth of drum fire.
I'm so lucky to witness so many of these moments. In the space as a fly on the wall I see them and capture them so you have them forever and ever.
How lucky am I to get to see the joy of celebrating 70 years of life! See the chortles and snorts of family pranks and stories shared.
Thank you Krit Nichols for letting me into this special time. For allowing me to continue to document your incredible families journeys and growth. I am a lucky one for sure!

Once upon a time I met a gnome. This gnome, despite his fame and influence was kind and humble.

He taught children and grown-ups how to nurture and care for the environment. He was friends with the worms and the bees, and showed the children how to make nice homes for them.

The gnome showed them what plants liked to eat and how to feed them so they could grow and bloom and this made the children smile.

The children planted native bushes and garlic and felt the cool of the soil as they dug little holes for each one.

The gnome watched happily as the children made a mountain of compost and as they built he climbed to the top like a red-capped king!

The children cheered and laughed as he watered the compost tower and they danced and sang in the fallen leaves.

Thank you Gnome Costa!

There's something so intensely timeless, so elegant and dreamy about black and white photos. It really pulls you into the story, into the unfolding moment, with an unmissable earnestness and honesty.
Without the complexities of colour, (though i will always looove my colour!) the highlights paint connection, shadow draws you to the subtlest glance, the difference between the two brining the story to life, vivid and real.
Gintarė Galvičiūtė and Steve Hanks what an absolute dream your wedding was! Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your stunning celebration!

We live in an incredible world and there are so many breathtaking places out there! Let's make your session an adventure!!!

Ali Colton ...just wow! What an evening! What an afternoon! What a place! What a family!!! What you are creating here is going to be spectacular! And friends, for you info, I'll be doing a later post on exactly what Ali is creating here in the high country, because its something that will change lives! Cross my heart it's not hyperbole!

A day that lasts an eternity...

A touch that is louder than words...

A sunset of gold light and glitter...

A whisper only your ears heard...

'I'll love you forever'
the promise is made...

'So will l, I would wither without your embrace'

Hand in hand, hear to heart,

With out end or a start,

Love shines like a beckon, a light in the storm,

So ferocious and cruel, and for some makes a fool,

Though for two honest souls, beatific and whole,

It is essence, it is life, it is home.

I knew it was going to be good but wasn't expecting to be so effected by my latest gig, but here we are!

Sometimes you get an opportunity to be a part of something really special. Something that fills you with hope, opens your eyes and schools you in a way that is both urgent, direct and loving.

Over the last three days I had the privilege of documenting the 30th year of LGBTIQ+ Health in Difference Conference which brought together the best and brightest heart and minds to talk about and tackle issues faced by the LGBTIQ+ community within the healthcare and aged care sectors.

It is an event that I wish I had known about when I worked as an art therapist within the ACT Health system. And as a q***r person working within multiple areas of the mental health field, I feel like I could have learnt so much and become a greater advocate for my community.

But I guess we come to these things when the time is right...

Throughout the conference I was gifted the opportunity to connect and converse with the most incredible people who are fighting tirelessly to change systems so embedded with homophobia and discrimination. Fighting to ensure legislation and policy enshrines protections for LGBTIQ+ people and transform discriminatory, hugely harmful, deeply traumatic practices, attitudes and culture.

The biggest thing that struck me as I flitted around the different talks, workshops and presentations, is at the core of everything is respect and dignity. From my observations that is the basis for all the work and advocacy those present have been striving for. If there is respect and dignity, and everything else follows.

Respect and dignity that's it... and really that's not an outrageous ask is it? It really shouldn't be that hard.

Thank you so much LGBTIQ+ Health Australia, it has been an honour and happy Pride Month!
