Welcome to my website. I first began my journey in photography 34yrs ago during my employment at Woman's Day Magazine. At the time I had dreamt of becoming a journalist however after experiencing the magic of food photography and the glamour of 80's fashion editorials my love of telling a story through the lense took over.
Throughout the early years I also performed as a professional singer and dancer which is where I honed my love for photographing live stage shows, bands, circus acrobats and dancers. More than thirty years down the track and I have worked on many music videos, film sets and concerts one of my biggest highlights being Kylie Minogue Live in Sydney.
Seventeen years ago I decided to focus my career on child / newborn photography working with large companies such as Bonds, Mini Haha and Bambini Magazine. Still to this day I absolutely love the spontaneity and fun involved in working with children. The naughtier they are the more of a challenge I feel it is to accomplish a great shot and that is why I never tire of it!
In 2022 I celebrated 10years in my studio which is located in the Sydney Hills District. In 2023 I was extremely honored to win the Sydney Local Business Awards in the category of 'Sole Trader.' I also enjoyed working for three years as head photographer for The Parra News a weekly publication by the Western Sydney Publishing Group.
I absolutely love my job and over the years my clients have become my close family. I always endeavor to go that extra mile whether I am building sets or building a long term friendship with everyone who I work with. Each photo is more than a still image captured in a single moment, but a wonderful story and memory that we can pass on to the next generation.
