I think photography has always been in my blood. It's where I am most happiest. It's where I am most at peace.

My dad and grandfather both had a love of photography, and I grew up watching gramps working in his own darkroom which he'd set up in the garden shed.  One of my first memories is being shown an old "box brownie" and marvelling at it's awesomeness. As a young girl growing up in Africa, I fondly remember trying to hold still my dad's huge telephoto lens to snap wildlife photos during safari trips to the Kruger Park.

​

I started my career by studying Film and Television Production in 1994 and went on to work in the South African television industry for the next decade. I am currently halfway through an Advanced Diploma in Photography at PSC Melbourne, which has challenged me to think artistically and out of the box and I've produced some folios I'm extremely proud of as a result.

In 2021, I became the owner operator of BWRM Mornington Peninsula and currently specialise in (and spend all my time doing) all aspects of real estate marketing, including photography, videography, floorplans and drone photography.

I also have a special interest in food and still life photography, and adore that time alone in the studio to just create for fun. I have a great love of shooting landscapes and I go into my own little world where I can just be and enjoy the beauty and peace around me. The absolute marvel of our natural world gets to me every time.

I love to travel and capture amazing cultures from all over to world. Over the past few years I have been blessed to have been able to visit the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Israel, Jordan, Vietnam, Thailand and Africa.
