About Me


I'm a Perth-based photographer passionate about capturing authentic moments—from high-fashion editorials to heartfelt weddings. Every photograph tells a story, and I love creating images that people will treasure for years to come.
My journey into photography began in 2002 when I enrolled in a Multimedia course, where I first discovered my passion for visual storytelling. Before completing my studies, I accepted the opportunity to work as cabin crew for Emirates, a career that allowed me to travel the world and experience diverse cultures.
After becoming a mother, my adventures continued with my son by my side. Together, we travelled to incredible destinations, including Finland, France, and Iceland. To keep our luggage light, I relied mostly on my phone to capture our adventures. Looking back, I wish I had carried a dedicated camera to preserve those unforgettable moments—my son's wide-eyed wonder beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the breathtaking aurora borealis lighting up the Icelandic sky. Those experiences taught me the true value of preserving memories through photography.
In 2018, everything changed. While organising a Perth fashion event, The Fashion Project, our photographer cancelled at the last minute. I bought my first Canon crop-sensor camera, stepped behind the lens, and photographed the event myself. That unexpected opportunity reignited my passion and marked the beginning of my professional photography journey.
My first international assignment took me to Cambodia for the Miss Planet International Pageant, where I represented Australia as a National Director. It was an incredible experience that introduced me to talented creatives and photographers within the modelling industry—many of whom have become valued mentors and collaborators.
Today, I am the founder of Models and Pageant, a licensed modelling agency and creative hub. While fashion and portrait photography remain close to my heart, I enjoy photographing all of life's meaningful moments, including:
Weddings
Maternity
Family portraits
Corporate events
Birthdays and special occasions
Boudoir sessions
Product photography
Social media and branding content
Editorial and fashion campaigns
Beyond photography, I am also a qualified makeup artist and an emerging fashion designer, having completed an Advanced Diploma of Apparel, Fashion and Textiles. I regularly photograph fashion shows at North Metropolitan TAFE as part of their media team and also volunteer my photography services for South Metropolitan TAFE events.
I shoot with Canon professional camera equipment in both studio and outdoor locations and am happy to travel wherever your story takes us.
One of the most unforgettable highlights of my career was photographing Antarctica in December 2023—a once-in-a-lifetime experience that reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place.
