One lazy day in 2009, I decided to embark on a photo-a-day-for-a-year challenge. I set myself a goal to upload a different photo every day - some are of my gorgeous clients, some are of my ever obliging family and friends.
Well, I reached the end of the challenge year, and while I didn't quite succeed at a photo-a-day, this blog became part of my weekly routine.
And so I continue...at a new location.

Christmas angel...
Although her mum doesn't agree that this little angel has a halo, I think she is perfect! This weekend, all angels fluttered into Albany for the annual Christmas Pageant.
I am Albany's wedding and lifestyle photographer. I have with a passion for creating beautiful portraits - photos that make people stop in the midst of the chaos of their lives and stare for a moment.
I strive to capture non-cheesy images that are upbeat, energetic, optimistic and full of joy. I prefer natural light (as opposed to studio lighting) and I love the dreamy, airy feel.
I love to capture... life, actually!

If you'd like to contact me, here are my details...
I'm based in Albany Western Australia, where we are spoilt for choice for photo-shoot locations!
For as long as I can remember, I've been taking photos. I got my first camera - an instamatic - as a kid and was mesmerised by my first prints (of my pony, Prince). Back then, we'd drop the film off at the chemist in the neighbouring town 50 kms away in the south of Western Australia. My parents would take me to pick it up a week later. Oh, the anticipation!
Later at boarding school, I cut my teeth on an SLR and I spent time in the darkroom with the school photography club and collecting photos for the school magazine.
In my teens, I fell into an unofficial role of "documentary photographer" recording lifes of friends at uni and later, throughout our twenties. But while I continued to take pleasure in photography at social events and as I travelled the world, I'd never considered it as a career.
With the birth of our first child, I realised there's rarely a moment not worth photographing. I've been a "mumma-ratzi" prowling on my gorgeous kids & their friends for those magic moments all of their little lives. (You'll get to know some of them through this blog.).
Getting my first digital SLR camera was the catalyst to really letting my hair down. And the decision to follow a career path in this field, after 20 years in marketing, was a natural progression.
I passionately believe this is what I am meant to do.
