Well a bit about me… I am a Photographer based in Melbourne, Australia.

I love Photography. I love capturing real emotions and the memories that people will hold on to forever.

I started my study of Photography in New Zealand when I was 16 years old. I had a gap in my timetable at school and thought it might be kind of fun. Our first task was to make a pin hole camera from a cardboard box. I painted it black and looked through the little viewing hole and something shifted inside me, my world changed.

Finishing up at school two years (and many darkroom hours) later it took a fair bit of persistent nagging to become the Apprentice Photographer at the firm I’d decided to work for. Eventually I wore them down and there I stayed for nearly 5 years. My teachers became my great friends.

Itchy feet meant time for a change and I made the move to Australia to see what it had on offer.

I love Melbourne! It is such a beautiful vibrant city! I spent my first year in Australia working with Robert Piccoli, one of Australia’s great Photographers, and it was here that I developed from a Film Photographer into a Digital Photographer.

I now run my own boutique Photographic Business. I am currently focusing my energy on Weddings and Family Portraits, although my door is always open to other ventures. Variety is the spice of life!
