I love what I do

Why work with me?

I love capturing everyday scenes and the unpredictability of people in their own environments, not staged in a studio. In fact, I never shoot family sessions in studios—I only ever want to capture your crew in your home setting and a bit of your local neighbourhood. And I know that not all houses look like a magazine, and that’s okay—my job is to find the good stuff wherever I go, and there is always good stuff.

I’m compassionate and realise that not everyone loves having their photo taken. I sometimes feel like clients have walked in to see their dentist when we first meet. I see the fear and loathing and ‘wishing it was over’ before it begins, all over their faces. But honestly, it’s my job to bring out the best in you. I’m easy going and really experienced, so I know how to find the right light and offer gentle direction to capture you at your very best. When we do the shoot, we’ll have fun, and it will show in your beautiful images.

I understand the importance of great images for business and branding. I have a wealth of experience working with brands and know what you need to shine in a competitive market. I will help you create a shot list and develop a brief so we stay on track. But I also really enjoy that life isn’t scripted. So when I’m on a shoot, I can take the key shots, as well as the unscheduled moments in between—often that’s where the wonder is and it’s why you hire me—to see ‘beyond’ the schedule.
