A part time photographer for more years than I like to remember. During the 80's it was mainly nature and bush and family portraits. And in the five years leading up to 2014 I photographed a dozen of my own clients weddings and more than 125 other weddings as a second shooter. However with our move to Tasmania six months ago it was time for an intentional change of focus areas.

So now it's photographing contemporary lifestyle portraits of people – individuals and besties, couples and families, adults and kids and in-betweens, cousins and relatives and grandparents too. It’s great. it’s about people and friendship and love and connection.

I get a genuine buzz from taking creative photos of real people which will become absolute treasured memories – beyond even their lifetime. And in the process I meet a wide range of beautiful, wonderful people. This is becoming a whole new source of inspiration.
