A dear friend recently told me that one of the photos I took of her was her favourite photo anyone has ever taken, and it reminded me why I love doing this.

For me, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures, it’s about creating a relaxed and playful experience where I can gently guide you and make space for you to simply be yourself.

It isn’t about the perfect version of you, it’s about the real one.

Recently photographed this beautiful Airbnb, Georgie Bay 🌱

First impressions matter, and pictures are often what draw someone into a space for the first time. Guests don’t just choose a property, they’re booking the feeling of it, and professional photos help build that sense of trust from the start.

If you have an Airbnb, rental, or holiday home and would love some fresh new photos that feel true to your space, send me a message x

Looking through my gallery, I came across these pictures of my country that still carry so many memories. Even after a few years away from home, I can still feel the Pacific breeze on my skin, get lost in the many shades of green in the Amazon, admire the Andes rising above the clouds, and more than anything, taste the flavours of the food I love most.

And maybe that’s the beauty of photography, it holds time still for a second, and lets you return to it whenever your heart needs to x

P.S. All of these were taken on my phone over the years, in different parts of Peru :)

What a treat to step into @yogacucina retreat. Nourishing yoga from the incredibly knowledgeable @claireblackwood_ , delicious food, great wine, and all of it set in one of the most beautiful places in the world (though I might be a little biased 🤭). Such a beautiful way to bring people back into their bodies and into a deeper sense of calm and ease x

I want this page to be more than just a gallery of my shoots, I’d love to share more helpful content here too. If you have an iPhone, here are my go-to camera settings in case you want to update yours. Just save this post, set them up, and you won’t have to think about them again. I hope they help you take beautiful photos with what you already have x

P.S. All of these photos were taken on my phone the last time I hiked Cradle Mountain (yes, all on the same day!)

There’s something really special about creating with women who are not only dear friends, but women I deeply admire. Women who inspire me, guide me, lift me up, and remind me of what I’m capable of.

This Winter Solstice, these two beautiful souls will be gathering for three days at @bayoffiresbushretreat bringing women together to slow down, release, and reconnect in community. So grateful to be part of this 🫶🏽

More info in their bios: @pamela_milnes @jessmanningstudio x

Amanda and I had never worked together before when she reached out to say @countrystylemag wanted to feature her new shop in their next issue, and that she wanted me to take the photos!

I felt truly grateful, not only for the opportunity to have my work featured in one of the country’s most loved magazines, but also for getting to work with Amanda, someone so driven, with a natural sense of style and an eye for the most beautifully curated pieces.

If you ever find yourself in St Helens, don’t think twice about visiting @thecaptainsmrs_ 🫶🏽

MORGAN & MURRAY

Some love stories feel especially close to the heart, and Morgan & Murray’s was one of those. There was something so unique and beautiful about the way they moved through it all together, in a way that felt entirely their own.

I will never grow tired of capturing the intimacy, the softness, and the closeness of being in love. Forever grateful to you both for letting me witness this kind of magic 🫶🏽

A special thank you to the beautiful @pamela_milnes for holding such a deeply personal ceremony. The way you honoured their story with so much love and intention made the day feel even more special x
