I am a photographer, writer and videographer based in Perth, Western Australia.
I love capturing everything from the exhilarating adventures to the quiet moments of life as a parent.
For a long time I believed I had to create a life worth documenting, and spent years creating big experiences to capture, like horse-riding through Mongolia or hiking the length of New Zealand. As I’ve moved into the next period of my life, investing in a home, a garden and starting a family the wild adventures no longer have the same insatiable pull and I’ve found the beauty in the little moments in between. A weekend on the family farm, or an after school trip to the beach, feel as worthy of documenting as my treks once did.
Although I do still jump on a plane from time to time. Read about my adventures here.
My work has been featured in National Geographic Traveller UK, T Australia: The New York Times Style Magazine, Frankie Magazine, Fabric Quarterly and various other publications.

In 2021 my family home burnt down in a bushfire. I photographed the experience as there was nothing left to do. We lost a lifetime of memorabilia in a few minutes, including all of the family photo albums that I would pore over every time I went home.
It made me appreciate the gift of my photography. The importance of capturing these precious moments in our life, as we never know what is around the corner. I don’t mean capturing the fire, although I am glad I did. But I mean capturing all of the moments in our family before then. My step son growing up, my nieces and nephews playing, my adventures and my life. Memories to look back on when all is lost.
It also made me appreciate the kind of photographer I am, and how important the act of taking photos is for me.
