Hey lovers!
that’s me up there with my now 18 year old. we’ve grown up together basically. she taught me how to human. we live with two rescue cats; ivy, an attention-seeking smoocher, and honey - a cranky goddess (but she’s secretly my FAV). I grew up THE YOUNGEST OF THREE IN A SMALL WA TOWN. We kicked around on bikes after school and climbed sand hills on blocks where houses were yet to be built. We lined up fruit along quiet streets with the neighbourhood kids to watch cars run over them and send them spinning in the wheels - so bad ass. When it got dark, we would venture back out, lighting our torches and playing spotlight on fresh, moonlit nights with only the sounds of cracking branches and stifled laughing floating in the frostbitten air.
Our stories and memories are integral to the fabric of our lives and relationships. I’m intensely drawn to the art of memory keeping. As an observer and a friend, documenting stories for people is a profoundly rewarding experience, and so nourishing for me creatively.
My teenage years were spent arms deep in chemicals, bathed in red in the darkroom. I was pretty shit at photography then, but it was the only class I got straight A’s so I ran with that.
I take a relaxed, photojournalistic approach, focusing on detailing the connections, chemistry and emotion that weave through a wedding day to capture often understated moments that are in fact, profound. I love to work together with my clients to create brill vibes!
The blessing of a long time in this job is the skill-set it’s provided me to slide in and gel with different friend/family dynamics. The experience of wedding photography allows us to walk into any situation and be able to adapt to the flow, navigate any stressy fam members, calm that shit, time-mange and banter with the crew to keep the vibes stable. I’m there to be your sister with a camera and document the glorious way that your loved one’s see you - as the absolute lords you are.
