Biography

Photography is my voice. It’s how I tell my story when I lack words.What is your story?Some stories are raw. Some are fun. All are beautiful.I turn that beauty into photos.So that even more people can be inspired to live to the fullest.Explore. Learn. Discover.And grow into more beautiful stories worth telling.My life changed when, at the age of 18, I jumped on a plane to Brazil. To say I faced some fears would be just the start of the story. But I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I hadn’t done that. I went from being a chubby, Commodore-driving, self-conscious country girl to a young woman living in a city of 18 million people with the confidence to dance (without alcohol), walk down the beach in a bikini and dream in a second language. Yes, I ended up (learning) and then dreaming in Portuguese! I experienced living in upper-class society, homes that required tall security fences, maids and a ‘tennis club’ culture.Living in Brazil was just the start for me. Further travels lead me to discover life in Borneo with no electricity, cups of tea at my surf guides tin ‘home’ in Lombok, sleeping in a rainforest with orangutangs, being stuck on a broken-down bus in countryside Turkey, visa runs out of Greece, jogging with snow-covered deers in London, running up hills with kids in a tsunami warning, reversing back wheels off Fijian roadside cliffs, glass shelves falling on my head requiring a hospital visit, drink spikes in Rio, cycling 500km through Thailand in 45-degree weather and many more life-enriching, loveable chats and laughs with locals. I love how we are all the same but all different. Everyone has something to teach us.Travel is a tool for life – discovery, education, happiness and fulfilment. I want to inspire everyone to live their best life.How do I do this?I collaborate with clients in tourism, food, charities, editorials, events and festivals, government, regions, beverage and wine sectors, and specialise in location photography. Together, we tell your story so people can come and discover you for themselves.Together… We have fun. We make it easy. We tell your story.I also run workshops, helping you take better photos with your mobile device or camera. Most recently, I have opened a stock photo site—a place where you can get lots of images for your social media content. Your story, my way.Coffee, wine, dance, surf? I’m in!
