A little about me…

I’m a beach bum at heart. Sunshine, salty air, bare feet, that’s my happy place.

I grew up in a small town in South Australia called Aldinga Beach. Some of my best memories are from those long, simple days. Riding my bike through paddocks to a friend’s place, climbing fences, then piling into the car with sandy towels and an esky packed for the day. Our parents would drive their old Holden straight onto the sand, set up camp, and stay until the sun dropped into the ocean.

That kind of outdoorsy, easy living shaped me. I’m always chasing light, freedom, and those slow, unhurried days.

I’m one of five kids, right in the middle, so even though I love a quiet moment, I’ve always felt at home in a bit of noise and chaos. That’s probably why the mess and movement of family life feels so normal to me, and why I’m drawn to photographing it.

I’ve got a soft spot for folk music and anything stripped-back and acoustic. My dad used to play guitar when I was little, and those familiar sounds still ground me. There’s something about raw, unpolished music that feels honest, and that’s how I like my photos too. A little imperfect, full of soul, and true to the moment.

Born and raised near Adelaide, I spent most of my teen years up in Darwin, which is where I met my husband, Matt. After that we moved around for his work, then landed in Sydney for a while.

As a small-town girl, the big city never quite fit. I always felt like I was keeping pace with things that didn’t matter to me. Over time, the pull toward something slower and more grounded got too strong to ignore. So we left, and eventually found our way to Murwillumbah in the Northern Rivers. The mountains, the creeks, the gentler pace, it gave us room to exhale. Space to breathe, to grow, and to find our rhythm again.

We’re a family of water lovers. Most summer days you’ll find us by the ocean or in the pool, salty, sun-warmed, and a little wild. I’ve been learning to surf over the past few years and it’s become my sanctuary. It humbles me, challenges me, and clears my head like nothing else.

At home, I’m usually making something with my hands. Dragging home old furniture, sanding it back, giving it a second life. I love the rhythm of doing things slowly and with care, and noticing the beauty in things as they are.

Let’s tell your story. Honestly.

As a mum of three, I know how quickly these seasons shift.

My girls are growing into big kids now, but I still feel that ache for the days when they were small and sticky and always needing me.

That’s why I’m drawn to documenting family life just as it is, not the polished version, but the real stuff.

The wild love. The tiny gestures.

When you see your photos, I want you to feel something. Not just how it looked, but how it felt to be in it.

And don’t worry, tantrums don’t rattle me.

I adore big families, wild children, and the kind of chaos that makes your story yours.
