As a child, I was obsessed with art. Still am, to be fair.

I was constantly sketching and painting both people and nature.

Then it evolved to days spent photographing friends on film and pottering away in the university colour darkroom. Naturally, I fell in to capturing important moments in the histories of people's lives and it's been a passion of mine ever since.

I started my professional career as an art and art history teacher, but was photographing weddings and families during the holidays and weekends. So, after getting married and travelling the world, I took the leap and became a full-time photographer.

Since then I've photographed in New Zealand and abroad, bought and renovated our first home and welcomed two wonderful little boys to the fray.
