I am a wife and a first time mum to a beautiful baby girl whose smile is everything. I love roast dinners, winter sunshine, slow Sunday's at home and playing card games with my family. These are some of the simple things that bring me joy.
Hubby and I lived abroad in London for four years from 2018. I loved travelling and exploring new landscapes from the city to the countryside. I especially loved finding beautiful streets and houses. I marveled at how they were all different and yet all had that same familiar feeling - home. I wanted to remember it all, and so my interest in photography was kindled.
Before this chapter working as an in-home newborn photographer, I was a primary school teacher. In the classroom I learned the value of patience, the impact of positive relationships and the importance of letting children be themselves. In many ways it was only natural that I continue to work with young children and families in a new way.

The feeling of home. It can be found in the comforting embrace of a loved one, the familiar scent of a favorite meal cooking in the kitchen, or the quiet moments of solitude in a cherished space. Home is where we find solace after a long day, where our worries melt away, and where we feel most authentically ourselves. To me, the true essence of home is in creating a sense of belonging that is deeply rooted in emotional connections and shared experiences.
I'm a firm believer that the simple things in life often bring the most joy. A hot chocolate on a cold day or the sound of a child's laughter are both seemingly small moments that can provoke the greatest feelings of contentment. They offer a respite from the chaos of the world, they ground us in the present, remind us of what truly matters and connect us to the beauty and simplicity of everyday life. This is how I want you to experience our time together.
Activities that foster connections with others and with ourselves like cradling a sleeping baby, create memories that are far more valuable than any material possession. They remind us that happiness is not found in the accumulation of things, but in the quality of our relationships and the experiences we share.
Ultimately, the feeling of home and the joy derived from simple things are intertwined. It is in the familiarity of home that we find the freedom to enjoy life’s simple moments, whether it's the ritual of preparing a family meal, the comfort of a favourite chair, or the laughter shared around the dinner table. It is these ordinary experiences that become extraordinary in their ability to bring joy and a sense of belonging that I love to capture.
I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of this land, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future.
