I’m chillin in an Airbnb below Brisbane, binge watching crime shows, drinking A LOT of liquids (have I just been dehydrated for yonks?) I feel like a water machine.
My body feels great and grateful for morning yoga. Tomorrow with be the fIRST sleep in I get or have gotten.

Plus I got to try out a sway massage (zen chi) machine. Have u done this? I think if I did 5 mins between shoots - I’d survive better.

Plus I now need a photoshoot rider, thanks non negotiable, to get through shoot days. The energy is real.

Pretty quiet here coz I’m working my day hours silly keeping balance and running my mini empire (which btw is insane) but is so infused into my identity and dopamine hits.

Working is hard. Cant force my brain to work normal hours just have to micro caffeinate and hyper focus on a task for 3 hours.
Today’s the only day I feel like I didn’t have bags under my eyes and look pretty.
I’m actually in end of ADHD diag. Journey - the long way round. Just want to get the work done in my head, you know? But I work more than anyone I know haha 🤪

I digitally wrote down pretty good journal entries - I’ve decided I cant hand write anymore I can’t read it 🤓
I wish I had a podcast that was just for fun and not turn it into a biznas. I just feel so much better everyday when I just talk talk talk.

I created a me career.
Like what the!

How many peeps do know, successfully live off doing something that suits their energy levels, personality and skill!?
I laugh. I cackle. I glitter. This is insane. And I’m booked out. 💖👯‍♀️❤️‍🔥

🖤 club ‘86 🥀 this is what 40 looks like.

When I was a child I envisioned myself with firey wild red hair, an untamed lifestyle, a job as an artist and wild patterned clothes, e’otic art in the walls, and I was right.

Except it was the 90’s and red was the wildest hair colour I knew!

I’m more graceful & open hearted than I could ever imagined, aging like a real life vampire crossed with potions of a modern witch.

I’ve alchemised how to use energy and intuition through connections and art.

Childhood was existing innocently and timeless.
Teenhood was pushing boundaries and breaking into identity.
20’s was not giving a f about anything.
30’s was undoing all conditioning and facing inwards.
40’s too open and connected to let anything stop me.

💃🏽

Ps. I’m drafting a book working title; “25 years of the female Gaze” 2001-2026 works and commentary on discovering how to photograph women identifying individuals in sub culture, escaping mainstream media, before and during social media and censorship.

💖🎂💅🏻Enter POWER FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. LEVEL 40 💥💥

Standing front of the beginning on my 25 years of self portrait journey on my 40th birthday.

Goodbye 30s. My healing era.

I’m an Aries ♈️ Aquarius rising 🌙 in Leo.
& I love every version of me.

Big love to everyone who came to connect and give their reflection of witnessing the journey of becoming who I am. ✨

My number one advice to young photographers is to use yourself as a tool. Explore and use your resources ✨

Looking back at over 25 years of self portraits, I’m reminded of happy accidents and that you never know what you’re going to discover, until you create art without attachment to the outcome 💖

I’m excited to share 25 years of using my body and energy to create magic this Friday for my self portrait gallery 👇🏻

“Just make art. Just do it!” 📸

I take every opportunity I can to play and create art.

Because of my time at photo school, I find art in sweeping up after a photoshoot, in the glitter that collects in the studio, and in my client’s stories 💖

In 5 days, come witness 25 years of play ✨ and how I use that exploration to capture women in their most powerful energy 💅🏻
