Welcome to Paradise 🌿

Okay, but seriously, one of the places on this hike is called Paradise, so 😎

Bunya Mountains is the bees knees.

I fell in love and I also was super impressed and surprised at just how lush it is.

Thankfully we came during the middle of the week so we had it pretty much to ourselves but I could imagine that it would get busy on the weekends and holidays.

I love being out here.
Exploring.
Being still.
Living simply.
It’s what makes me feel so freaking alive.
So freaking happy.

Moments from the trail.

I think I’ve found my happy place.

I know I say that time and time again, but hear me out.

My happy place isn’t so much a ‘place’ it’s more so this feeling within me that feels like it’s home.

Feels like it’s still.

It’s when I’m out here.
Walking.
With no other purpose.

Being forced to be still.
Being forced to feel.
Being forced to let go.

A place where I realise how small I am.

A place that reminds me of how simple I wish to live.

A place that shows me where I need to slow down in my life.

✨

It’s not always comfortable.
It’s sometimes unbearably hot or absolutely freezing.
But it’s simple.
It’s wholesome.

These are the moments that I’m craving, more and more.

To the women that have trusted me.
To the women that have empowered me.
To the women that have inspired me.
To the women that have believed me.
To the women that have supported me.
To the women that have encouraged me.
To the women that have cried, laughed, smiled, danced, expressed, loved, in my presence.
Thankyou.

This year has been immense.
This year has been monumental.
This year has been unforgettable.

I know I’ve said this time and time again, but I never thought that my year would be filled with this.

It’s really a surprise.
Although there have been moments where doubt has crept in, I’ve always come back to this with more courage, more love, more trust in my own self.

I never thought I could facilitate a space like this.
I always thought my own insecurities and wounding would hold me back.

There were moments where I was getting ready to begin a guided meditation before the photoshoot, and all I could feel was my anxiety telling me I can’t. But I always did.

And there’s something to that.
Something that’s driven me past places that I didn’t think I could ever venture.

And although I’ve got a lot to be proud of myself for, I don’t know if I could ever put words of how proud I am of the women that have stepped into their vulnerability.

It takes strength, courage and a deep amount of self-love.
It takes commitment to self, an overarching desire to grow and a flame that no amount of rain can put out.

For so many of the women, they had never met me before booking or even arriving at the photoshoot. Yet, moments in, the way they were able to shed their layers, both physically and emotionally, was inconceivable.

The way they have all been able to move through wounding, triggers and old limiting beliefs, in the matter of moments, was the greatest lesson.

I document, yet amongst, I observe.
I witness every tiny little detail that goes on, from the start to the finish.
And let me tell you now, what happens, is in-freaking-credible.

So this post is a testament to the strong, courageous and inspiring women that have not only supported me this year, but have more importantly supported themselves.

May you forever see the beauty and power in these images and allow your story to unfold as courageously and vulnerably.

But how good would this look on your wall?

Hehehe 🤭

I’m thinking of doing a few print runs of these photographs for Christmas gifts 🎁

Would you want one? Or do you know someone that is obsessed with cows? 🐮

Fire photoshoots - they're happening and they're bringing the heat.

I am also offering show reels for those performers out there as an add on. If you want to level up your portfolio or even just be captured with the flame, this is for you.
