Get to know the photographer
I am a wife and mother, and over the years I have become increasingly aware of the importance of capturing all the moments, big or small. Time really is fleeting and once a moment has gone, we will never get it back, so take the photos, save them, print them out, put them in an album, share them and tell the stories. Once a moment has gone, it becomes a memory... a Forever Memory!
That is what I am here for! If you would like to talk to me further about booking your next special event, just to update your family photos, or to capture your first professional photo's EVER, please drop me a line. I am available to capture your memories from as far North as Hervey Bay, as far South as Redcliffe and as far west as Dalby and everywhere in-between. This is your sign, to book the session

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
Motherhood is the real hood! Motherhood is filled with so many moments, good, bad and ugly. At the end of the day though, when the house is quiet, the kids are in bed no matter what kind of day you had, you sit back and reflect, often looking back through old photos, "doom scrolling" you get all the way back to when they were a baby and you cry, wondering where the time has gone and then all of a sudden, your worries from the day pass.
The power of photos, am I right?!
How lucky are we to have phones and cameras so accessible to us these days? We can just quickly take a photo of a moment that will pass and will otherwise be forgotten. We take a photo because we don't want to forget. In years to come we will share these photos with our children, and our grandchildren, then one day, they will then share it with their children. They will share the story of where the photo was taken, who is in the photo and the moment that was being celebrated. How often do you look back at an old black and white photo, all faded, the corners of the film camera photo bent and torn, of your great grandparents wedding day. Pretty special, isn't it?
In my family, annual family photos is a non negotiable. As a mum we are always behind the camera, taking the photo of the kids with dad, in front of that special landmark, often the only photo is when we take a selfie with the kids, at an awkward angle, arm stretched right out. You know exactly what I am talking about!
