Some paths cross so seamlessly, they feel written

Some paths cross so seamlessly, they feel written long before we ever meet.
Finland, once again, I was reminded that nothing is random…each shared moment, every laugh, touch, and gaze during this second workshop felt like a quiet affirmation that everything happens for a reason.

To my generous hosts ~ thank you for opening your space and hearts.
To the incredible attendees ~ your presence, energy, and vulnerability elevated every second. And to our beautiful models ~ your trust and openness gave life to every frame. You reminded us that connection is everything.

This wasn’t just a workshop. It was a gathering of kindred spirits.
So much gratitude.
Until next time, Finland.

Next stop is with @sofiaargnaniphotography in Italy, who’s coming?

Remembering the last two days, whilst I prepare for the next two.

What a privilege it is to share space with other photographers; to learn, create, and witness together. And above all, I’m deeply grateful to the families who trust us enough to step in front of our lenses, allowing us to explore, connect, and grow.

These frames are from the four sessions in Turku ~ each one a reminder of why I love this work. As I prepare for Tampere, I’m carrying the energy, generosity, and quiet magic of these moments with me.

If you’re wanting to join one of the last dates for the Within Workshop in 2025… you can join me in Italy in two weeks, in Palm Beach in August, LA in September and Guadalajara too! Perth will be my last workshop in October for the year and as for what’s in store for 2026, I’m not quite sure yet, but I have a feeling it’ll all be closer to home.

This is what it feels like.

Not just to photograph; but to be held, to be seen, to grow. Away from home, tired but grounded… and still so full of purpose.

Turku, day 1. I’m ready to make some magic with you 💛✨

Memories aren’t made by perfect lighting or flaw

Memories aren’t made by perfect lighting or flawless poses.
They live in the weight of a newborn on your chest,
in the tangle of hands,
in the quiet surrender of a sibling’s breath against your skin.

This was our newborn at the Sydney workshop. And like always…it wasn’t about getting the shot. It was about feeling it.

If you’re ready to learn that kind of photography ~ the kind that leaves a mark ~ join me.

2025 Workshops:
Finland – Turku & Tampere
Italy – Faenza
USA – Palm Beach & Los Angeles
Mexico – Guadalajara
Australia – Perth

Let’s make something that lasts.

You’ll forget how small they once were,
but not how it felt to be their whole world. This height, this need, this closeness; all of it changes so soon.
