After a wonderful career as a portrait photographer, I am now focusing on my travel photography and creating ceramic pieces to be used in your home.

Earlier in the year we drove from Adelaide to Port Lincoln to visit one of my boys and his sweet girl. People had told me that the eight hour drive could be quite boring, but I found the light and the landscape totally intriguing. Maybe because the light hits so differently from that in CQ. I photographed this image not far from Port Lincoln and apparently these fields are a riot of colour at other times of the year. But there is something about this monochrome colour palette and layers of texture that I just love. The true beauty and detail of an image never shows up on here, but I hope you can get a glimpse of what I see. I'd love to print this large on fine-art paper. What do you think?

🩷 I had planned a photo shoot for our newest granddaughter but she had other ideas. After much screaming in the car we had to turn back home and resort to a few quick images in the backyard. At least we have a little something to remember her being six weeks old. I'll try again on their next visit. The girl knows what she wants and I'm here for it xx

💙 I’m sorry, all my intentions to post each day went out the window within the first week. I have completely lost my mojo and my desire to do anything really, even the things I love.
So, I just wanted to say hi and tell you all that I miss you. I have had to cancel my exhibition this year due to my health, but I do have one upcoming in 2027 at Kent Street Studio. My plan is to narrow down and choose my favourite travel images to print for the exhibition so that will be a huge feat.
I do have some wonderful news to share… we have welcomed our second granddaughter into our family. At four weeks old, she is growing so fast I can’t quite believe it.
For today I’ll share a photograph I took in my beloved Greece. Oh, how I miss it.

🌼 There's not many things that compare to photographing your youngest child when they are about to become a father for the first time. So many emotions. And to witness the love and excitement he shares with his gorgeous wife as they await the arrival of their little girl... well it's a very special feeling. I am so very lucky to still be able to capture some of that feeling on film. I hope one day this little one knows how much she was loved, even before she was born.
Here are just a few of the images we created on this glorious afternoon 🌼✨

💙 This is the twin artwork for the image I posted yesterday. Taken on Naxos immediately before a huge storm that had us stuck on the island for four days, it shows the storm clouds starting to roll in. It sounds like a dream to be stuck on a Greek island, but the reality was being in cyclonic weather and having to pack and return to the tiny airport each morning, wait four hours and then be told the plane is not coming. I was actually okay with that, as I had no desire to be on a small plane in that wild weather!

Printed on fine-art paper, signed, numbered and professionally framed, this limited-edition print is available right now at Kit & Eve.

You really do have to see these prints in person to appreciate the quality. And Cherie has the most gorgeous store full of wonderful, hard-to-find goodies. If you do visit, please let me know what you think.

💙 My mission on this trip was to use only one lens, as last time the simple act of changing lenses introduced so much muck inside my camera that each image needed cleaning up before editing even began.
I ended up choosing a macro 35mm for versatility, but this posed many challenges with distance. My other mission was to photograph a sailing boat, but they were always well out to sea. So, when I spotted this sailboat while on the ferry from Corfu to the mainland, I was racing around the decks to try and get a closer angle. I took many images (which I do love) of a tiny boat in the vast sea. But as the boat approached, I managed to capture this image and knew at the time that I loved it. The boat then veered away from us so I am so lucky to have photographed it at the perfect time. You can see the snow-capped mountains of Albania in the background, and the haze of the seaspray in the morning air.
I have just collected my large, framed print of this image and delivered it to Cherie at Kit & Eve in Yeppoon. It’s printed on fine-art paper with torn edges, signed and numbered. This is edition one of ten. It’s glorious 💙

💙 Not many people could bring me out of retirement. But when this family asks if I'm available to photograph them, I try my very best to be there. We worked out that I've been photographing them for 21 years. My work adorns the walls of their gorgeous family home, with photographs of the kids from newborns to adults. So today I spent a beautiful afternoon capturing them together once more 💙
Thank you for your faith in me, it means the world xx

It’s time I shared some of my recent journey to Greece with you. I fully intended on sharing as we travelled, but truthfully, by the end of each day I had not an ounce of energy left. I’m sad about this now, always intending on doing it the next day, then the next, and here we are back in Australia already.
I am currently sorting through the many hundreds of photographs I took along the way, with the aim of making a book once I edit my favourites. So, I think I’ll share an image every day or two as I work my way through. I hope you come along on the journey with me.
Photograph taken in Meteora, central Greece. Monks built these incredible monasteries, seemingly floating on the sandstone peaks. It is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited and there is a feeling in the air that I cannot describe in words. It’s almost magical.

We drove through this little village on the east coast of the Peloponnese. Made some friends along our cold and windy walk 🐈
