no one is me, that's my superpower
Personal stuff....
I am pro vaccination, and grateful for science. If that throws you, we might not be a great fit.
I am an optimist, a coffee lover and an unashamed hugger.
I know family isn't scripted, children are wild and authentic at heart, raw and wonderful.
I believe our stories are our connection, that our journeys shape us, that at our core we are all far more alike than we are different.
Nature is my therapy. I do camping, sunrises, hikes, Sunday drives, half marathon trail runs, big conversations, and lazy nights in front of a campfire.
Professional stuff....
After graduating with a Diploma of Illustrative Photography at P.S.C. I've been actively working in photography for over 20 years.
I have experienced the grit of newspapers, photojournalism, film and darkrooms and the transition to digital and computers; running my own business, and building my own brand and style.
I achieved Master of Photography with AIPP, served as Victorian AIPP Council President 2019 - 2021 and was AIPP Advocacy Committee Chair up until the recent AIPP closure.
I have received National and International awards for my portrait, family and landscape photography, shortlisted, semi finalist and category finalist.
I get a huge buzz as a Mentor, Keynote Speaker and Presenter, teaching boundaries and survivability in creative business.
