How it all started…
My passion for photography started young, my parents always had a camera or video camera around capturing everything from events, milestone, to me eating dinner as a toddler and smearing food everywhere. So as I grew up I got a job, and when I could afford a camera that was one of the first things I bought.
I went through high school a little lost, but still loved my studio art classes where I used all digital media in my final folio. I slowly lost confidence after leaving school (like a lot of us do) and although I always had a passion for it, I found it hard to pick up my camera for a few years. Drifting in and out of doing fashion and lifestyle shoots and helping models build portfolios, I never felt like I found my niche. Until the last few years, as a midwife pregnancy, labour & birth and postpartum life is everything to me. I am in awe of all the women and families I come across, I love seeing that transformation of becoming a parent or adding a gorgeous new addition to a family. Most of all I love seeing the strength, resilience and beauty in women's bodies during labour and birth, and how they transform in the postpartum/4th trimester.
So…fast forward to now, I have had my beautiful daughter and my passion for maternity, birth and family photography is stronger than ever! And I cannot wait to build my portfolio up of strong, empowering women and families. And with permission share some of the stories and moments. But for now as I reach out to families to offer my services, I will be posting more family and lifestyle work.
Here is a photo of my daughter Elsie what feels like a lifetime ago, but was only maybe 6 months ago! Our kids grow so quickly, they grow and get cheekier by the minute! Send me a message if you’re interested in a session for your little one +/- you, so you can hold onto those memories forever!
