A little bit of something new for me, personal styling.

I’ve always loved fashion and the confidence that comes from wearing something that makes you feel like yourself.

Recently I worked with a client who was returning to the office after four years working from home. Like many of us, her wardrobe had become a mix of loungewear and “waist-up” outfits for Zoom calls.

We started with a wardrobe audit, identifying great pieces she already owned but hadn’t been wearing. From there I created a style board, sourced a few key pieces and helped her combine everything into outfits that felt polished, confident and still very much her.

The result was a wardrobe that felt streamlined, professional and easy to wear.

I love helping people feel confident through style and capturing that confidence through my photography as well.

More styling projects coming soon!

When was the last time you updated your headshot?

If your photo is a few years old, from a different role, or doesn’t really feel like you anymore, it might be time for a refresh.

A good headshot isn’t just about looking professional, it’s about showing up as you are today. Approachable, confident and authentic.

As a Sydney headshot photographer, my sessions are relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance so nothing feels forced or overly corporate. Just simple, modern images that feel like you on your best day.

Perfect for LinkedIn, your business, a new chapter in your career or personal life.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot, I’d love to chat.

Something I hear from a lot of couples before their wedding is, “We’re a bit awkward in front of the camera.”

The good news is, you really don’t need to know how to pose.

The photos you’ll love most come from just being yourselves. The laughs, the quiet little moments, the way you naturally are together, that’s what I’m always looking for.

As a Sydney wedding photographer, I keep things relaxed and gently guided so nothing feels stiff or staged. You can focus on enjoying the day while I capture it as it unfolds.

If you’re planning your wedding and feeling a little camera-shy, I’d love to talk you through my approach an help put you at ease. Send me a DM and we can start chatting about your day.

Headshots don’t need to feel stiff or overly corporate.
For ek Private Advisory, the brief was clear, create professional portraits that feel confident, approachable and genuinely them.

Most people aren’t comfortable in front of the camera, so I keep things relaxed and natural. The result? Polished images that still feel human.

There’s just something about spring/summer golden hour in Sydney…
The light gets warmer, the evenings stretch out, and families relax into the moment without even trying. These outdoor sessions are some of my favourites, no stiff poses, no pressure, just genuine connection, play, and that gorgeous glow wrapping around it all.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, this time of year is honestly magic. If you’d like something natural, warm and full of feeling - send me a message. I’d love to plan a session that feels just right for your family.

“I’ve always loved black & white photography, there’s something so timeless and romantic about it.

It has a way of making everything feel still, beautiful, and full of emotion, as if life pauses, just for a moment, before it carries on.

🖤 Pure, simple, forever.”

🌿 3 Tips for choosing the perfect outfit for your family session 📸

1️⃣ Pick a cohesive palette, not identical outfits
Choose colours that live in the same “family” of tones (neutrals, soft pastel, or one accent colour + supporting hues). When each person wears something in that palette, the family looks coordinated, but not matchy-matchy.

2️⃣ Comfort = confidence = real smiles
If someone’s not comfortable in what they’re wearing, it will show. Let each person wear something they feel good in (that still fits your palette). When you’re relaxed, your connection shines through.

3️⃣ Think texture & layers
Balance bold prints with solids. Add a knit, denim, flowy dress or scarf to bring interest and movement. It adds dimension to your images and keeps them timeless (rather than trend-y).

Whether we’re at the beach, in the garden, or at home, the goal is the same: real connection captured beautifully.

One of the best parts of what I do is watching families grow 💛

From the quiet anticipation before baby arrives… to the softest first days at home, filled with wonder, love, and new rhythms.

It’s such an honour to be invited into these moments and help tell the story of your growing family.
