Behind the lens
I'm a young creative with a fascination for nature, and I love to combine the two through photography! My creative ventures have never been half-hearted. I have loved everything from drawing to poetry, and always feel at my best when I'm making something.
I love rain, thunderstorms, the moon, sunsets... if it's in the sky, I love it. It is my dream to one day see the Aurora Australis, and of course capture photos of the event.
I've been doing hobbyist photography for years, but was gifted my first DSLR camera in Jan 2024. I started taking portraits of dogs through my sister's dog grooming business in July, and expanding to people portraits soon after.
I also dabble in videography and 35mm film photography (pictured: my vintage Pentax MG).
Being a more introverted person who values her privacy, I would find it hard to trust a stranger with such personal aspects of my life. It's not that we don't want photos of ourselves and our loved ones, we just don't know a way to make it comfortable.
The goal of my services is to allow everyone the chance to experience high quality photos of these fleeting times in our lives, even if you are a little camera shy. Together, we will explore your vision, each step involving you. My services are a project rather than a product, which means you are more than just a client to me.

Q: What should I expect from a booking with you?
A: Prior to any bookings, we will chat about your ideas and vision for the session, and make sure we align.
On the day of the shoot, we will take a few minutes before we start to settle into our surroundings and get inspired. I will offer simple guidance and prompts to help you look natural, without being overbearing. It will be okay to take breathers between shots or pause look at our ideas album, and I'll encourage you to tell me any particular photos you want.
Q: What is your process of editing photos?
A: My photo editing is a huge part of what I do. I'm continually educating myself on colour theory and experimenting with editing software to further advance in post-production.
I correct exposure levels to maximise detail in the photo and ensure it looks how our eyes view the scene. Followed by my style of colour correction which focuses on enhancing colours that are already present and retaining the beauty of the real moment. Leaning into vibrant and warm tones, and soft luminance.
Q: Do you edit out blemishes?
A: I use my own discretion when it comes to blemishes. Generally, I prefer to keep the photos natural. I'm happy to remove temporary blemishes such as pimples, however please allow for extra turn-around time. I do not offer extensive retouching as part of my services, and I will never alter body shapes or natural features.
Q: Will you post my photos on social media?
A: For most sessions, I will feature highlights from your gallery on my social media pages unless you request that I keep them private. Which is absolutely okay, and there is no charge for keeping them private.
