I met Carolyn 15 years ago, on day one of a truly wonderful journey. It was our first day of college. We were both 19 turning 20 and we were both very excited about the prospect of living our dream of studying dance full time. We were instant friends. We both took 4 years to...
I took these pictures of you while you were watching your big sister learn to ride her bike. You picked dandelions and made wish after wish. I captured a few frames of you just as you were. You had dressed yourself and there wasn’t a lot of colour coordination going on, but real life is...
Isabelle is six. She likes puppies and ballet and twirling and singing the theme song from the movie, ‘never ending story’. On the day of this session, her front teeth were very wobbly & her mum was really happy we were taking some pictures of her smile before it changed. Josh was almost two...

It’s an honour to be asked to photograph a family for a second time. The first time I photographed the Keller family, they were a family of four, now Anastasia & Xander have been joined by their sister Amalia. The Kellers are a beautiful family & Amalia is a much adored girl. We had...
Anouk turned 4 on May 12th. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since that day I was in labour during my mum’s birthday lunch at my place & had to rush to hospital before I could even serve my mum her birthday cake. A day I will treasure forever. As a result of a fast...
Three precious little girls, one doting father & one absolutely gorgeous mother. I really enjoyed spending an afternoon photographing this family in their home. I knew Linda Anderson through her community/directory/website for mums: Mums on the go & have had contact with her via facebook over a few years. It was beautiful to witness the joyful...
Dark and light. Black and white. We live in a world filled with contrast. We experience the warmth only because we know the cold. We recognise peace because we’ve felt the battle. One can’t be, without the other. [All images taken and edited with iphone4 only].
