So you already know I have a thing for beautiful photography, but I would also like to share a little of who I am, my other passions in life and how I came to be a photographer.
My road to photography started as a hobby in my youth, dappling and experimenting with film photography – taking pictures of interesting streetscapes, people and the pets of acquaintances. I was lured with the anticipation of discovering the final outcome of processing black and white rolls of film in the darkroom. Then as chance would have it, digital photography flooded our world!
Eventually, teaching became my other passion and career, and I continued photographing for fun. It became my creative outlet to balance the demands of teaching. Years later, I was fortunate to secure a job documenting weddings alongside teaching, while working under a wonderful Canadian mentor who has since retired.
I continued further study and completed my Diploma in Photography, not long after having my beautiful son. Immediately, I fell in love with photographing newborns and children, and founded my business in 2013.
When I’m not behind the lens, I swap my bulky camera gear for an equally bulky bag filled with my laptop, planner and resources. I’m a self-confessed nerd who loves exploring the outdoors – unlucky for my family and friends who have to hike with me. I’m also an enthusiast of spy-action flicks, cute classic roadsters, handmade/vintage crafts and DIY projects. I’m a wanderlust at heart and I can’t think of a better combination than travel, history and photography.
