There’s something about black and white that strips everything back; no distractions, just connection, story, feeling.

These frames are from a recent workshop session, and they remind me why I do this. Why it matters to see the quiet, the softness, the in-between.

If you’re a photographer longing to shoot with more purpose, to find your voice, or to reconnect with your why…
I have three final workshop dates this year:

🖤 Palm Beach
🖤 Los Angeles
🖤 Perth

Let this be the season you come home to your work.

I’d love to shoot and grow alongside you.

Spaces are limited, and these are my final teaching dates this year. Reach out if you’d like to secure your spot.

Summer with our children feels different. It’s

Summer with our children feels different.

It’s light-filled and loud and sticky with fruit juice and sunscreen. It’s warmth and freedom and the kind of joy that feels effortless; but also fleeting.

There’s a tenderness to these months… maybe because they remind us of our own childhoods. Of long days with our parents, of beach towels and backyard games, of the way summer once felt endless.

Now, watching it all through the eyes of our children, there’s a kind of sweet melancholy, a quiet knowing that these seasons won’t last forever. But that’s also why we hold them close.

I have a handful of sessions left on the Sunshine Coast for 2025, and just two final travel dates for the year:

Long Island – August 4
San Francisco – August 31

If you feel the pull to hold on to this chapter~ this sun-soaked season of your family’s story ~ I’d love to capture it with you.

Not everyone wants to be taught. Some of us want

Not everyone wants to be taught.

Some of us want to observe. To absorb.
To return to our work quietly; with more trust and less noise.

If that’s you, I’ll be in the US this August/September:

✧ Palm Beach – 2 seats left
✧ Los Angeles – 3 seats left

And later this year:

✧ Perth – October

These workshops aren’t traditional.

No slides. No formulas.
Just real families, real sessions, and the kind of learning that lingers.

Four sessions now, and still…each time feels lik

Four sessions now, and still…each time feels like returning, not beginning.

This one started on a quiet drive from the airport. Warm burek passed around the car. Hot tea waiting for the ride back.

In between: stories of travel, of family, of distance. What it means to live far from those you love, and how close memory can still feel.

He’s grown so much since our first session. This time, he asked to spend more time with me. Not for photos; just to be.

That moment held more than any image could. Because yes, we take photographs to remember someone’s face. But what I’m really capturing is the relationship underneath. The story told in glances, in hands held tight, in wind-swept stillness.

These aren’t just sessions.
They’re threads in a story we’ve been weaving quietly, for years now.

And I don’t take that lightly.

If you’re craving photographs that hold more than faces; but memory, meaning, and the quiet in-between, reach out.

This is the kind of work I teach too. The kind that invites connection, not performance. If you’re a photographer longing to slow down and go deeper, the next workshops will take place in the US. Reach out to join.
