This is me! freedom
- freedom
It is the name given to me by my parents at birth, when I was born out of the freedom of their love!
I grew up in the wild beauty of the North West of Western Australia. Red dirt, desert skies, and a landscape that’s as rugged as it is poetic. It’ll always hold a big piece of my heart. These days, I’m based in Yallingup on Wadandi Boodja, surrounded by bush, kissed by the ocean, and endlessly inspired by the contrast.
Photography for me is storytelling, honest, heartfelt, full of soul. A time capsule of connection. The kind of imagery that makes you feel something when you look back. I’m drawn to people who wear their hearts on their sleeves and places that feel like magic. Because real moments matter. And they don’t always come again.

My Inspiration Palette
Human connection is everything
At the heart of it all, it’s always been about people. Witnessing people just being themselves, unguarded, connected, real, this is the thread that pulls me back, time and time again. It’s what keeps me inspired, curious, grounded. This work is about capturing the kind of moments that remind us what it means to be a human being, to be seen, to belong. That’s my why. That’s the spark that keeps the shutter clicking.

BEHIND THE LENS
The real and romance
I share life with my husband Damien, our daughter & kelpie! Damien is my second photographer for the longer days, and together we shoot the kind of images you don’t know you’ll want until later... the glances, the quiet, the chaos, the little in-betweens. When he’s by my side, we’re part-guides, part-ghosts: documentary in approach and always with the right amount of fun!

My favourite things
Sandy feet and salty skin are my daily rhythm, every morning starts with a dip at Yallingup. I’ve been buying the same green tea from a beautiful Japanese family for 18 years, though a freshly brewed coffee in a hand-thrown ceramic cup (that somehow slows time) is a daily ritual too. Our home hums with music, no TV, just lyrics, poetry, records on repeat. And I have been known for the occasional cross-country flight to catch a gig that stirs the soul. Real books over screens, always. Iyengar yoga grounds me, and long conversations with my favourite people fill me right up. A Margaret River Chardonnay (location luck!) or a New Zealand Pinot Noir. Oysters? Yes, please. Espresso martini bar at your wedding? Save me one! I treasure family dinner time, sacred slow Sundays, kelpie cuddles and quality time with Damien & Lakhari, my life line, they are my light & my loves. Gratitude, good tunes, and beautiful light... that’s the heart of it all. And maybe that’s why I’m drawn to photographing the kind of moments that feel like home - honest, fleeting, joy-filled sparks of real life, wrapped in love.
my philosophy
'...watch carefully the magic that occurs,
when you give a person, just enough comfort, to be themselves...'
Atticus
I'm all about the magic that love brings, the kind you feel in your bones and remember in flashes for years to come. Because your wedding day? It’s never just one day. It’s the wild, beautiful journey that brought you here. It’s the promises ahead. It’s every chaotic, quiet, glorious moments in between.
I've captured a lot of love stories, but I never forget this: yours is one-of-a-kind. And it deserves to be told with heart, honesty, and a little bit of cinematic magic. I'm all about those raw, unguarded moments — the glances, the mayhem, the joy... captured in a candid documentary style with a whole lot of good vibes.

More love notes from couples & families
“There aren’t any words that can justifiably describe how thrilled I am with your work. I have already shown some of the girls in the office and all of them can’t get over how artistic you are! Everyone has been most impressed, especially when I mention that we weren’t asked to pose and all we had to do was live out our day and could quite easily pretend the camera wasn’t there. This album is a true reflection of not only you as an artist but also as a person. I really don’t think our moments could have been captured in such a natural, sincere and romantic way if you didn’t possess these characteristics yourself…you have left no stone unturned and I’m so impressed at how connected you were to our emotions. Thank you so very very, very much!!! We would love for other couples to receive the same magical experience you gave us.”
