A glimpse behind the scenes of something built ove

A glimpse behind the scenes of something built over 16 years; with intention, depth, and a deep love for what I do.

This isn’t about perfect lighting or the best gear.
✨It’s about learning to feel before you shoot.
✨To guide with trust.
✨To see with more than your eyes.

This is The Within Workshop.
For photographers who are ready to go deeper into their work, their confidence, and their connection to the people they photograph.

✨ A few seats left for my 2025 workshops in Australia, Europe, and the US.

This is your sign to join me - message me or comment workshop and I’ll send you the details.

Of all the places I travel,
Noosa still holds something extra.

Maybe it’s the light.
Maybe it’s the sea air.
Maybe it’s the simple way of life we hold; a little slower, a little softer, a little more ourselves.

This is home for me.
And it’s always an honour to photograph yours here too.

Just a reminder; they will never be this small aga

Just a reminder; they will never be this small again.

I ran into them by chance, the tiniest twins I once photographed as sleepy little babies…

So we’re making time to photograph them again, because this handbag-wearing, sunglasses-rocking version deserves their moment too.

What’s your favourite age to photograph?

28 years. This is the last photo of just the two

28 years.

This is the last photo of just the two of us. I was four.

Yesterday marked 28 years since I watched my father take his last breath. That moment changed everything.

The truth is, it’s complicated. He wasn’t always kind. My memories aren’t wrapped in softness. There was pain. There was fear. There were things no child should have had to carry.

But still, I carry this photo. Not to rewrite the story, but to honour the little girl in it. The one who lived through what she did not deserve. The one who still found a way to grow, to create, to love.

Some anniversaries aren’t loud. They don’t demand attention. But they still matter. This one always will.

And to anyone else holding grief that isn’t easy or clean, the kind wrapped in memory and survival, I see you. You’re not alone.

This is for her.
And for you.

We didn’t plan every moment. We just showed up,

We didn’t plan every moment.
We just showed up, got a little wet, laughed a lot and let the good stuff happen on its own.

It was a session that felt more like a memory being made in real time.
Sun-soaked. Unfiltered. A little wild. A lot of love.

There’s no one way to “do” family;
it’s just you, as you are, during this season of life..

Past bedtime.
Past sunset.
Still laughing, still swimming, still not ready to come in.

These are the moments I want to remember.
The wild, sandy, joy-filled ones that don’t fit inside a frame.
So we capture them. We feel them. We keep them.

If your heart just whispered “I need this too,” my sessions are open. Let’s make time.
