*READ BELOW FOR SPECIAL BUSHFIRE OFFER*
Hey all, what a horrific few weeks it’s been in Australia. Like us all, I’ve felt kind of numb and lost for words about the devastation that is happening in our country.
I feel particularly sensitive about the bushfires in the Snowy Mountains region. The Snowy Mountains was my home from when I was 6 months old til the time I finished grade 12. I lived in Jindabyne, Khancoban and Cooma, thankfully none of these towns have been directly impacted by fire, but it hasn’t been so lucky for surrounding areas. I’ve been anxiously watching the news of Corryong, Tooma, and heartbreakingly Cabramurra where I spent many days of my childhood.
It’s hard to know what to do from afar, but it seems the best thing we can do for these communities is to send funds.
Last week I announced on Instagram that im offering a free photo session to anyone that donates more than $150 to a bushfire crisis charity of their choice (salvos, RFS, CFA, WIRES etc). Offer is for sessions on the Sunshine Coast, normal travel fees apply outside this area.
In the moment I forgot to share to Facebook, so here it so now!
Your session doesn’t have to take place in January, just sometime in 2020, but if you’d like to take me up on the offer just send me an email BEFORE January 31 with a screenshot of your donation receipt. My email is [email protected]

Once the fire threat has passed I encourage you to take a road trip to check it out, stopping for supplies in the nearby towns that have been knocked to its knees this holiday season)
