“ Everything in nature is given some form of resilience by which it can rehearse finding its way, so that, when it does, it is practiced and ready to seize its moment. ”
(Mark Nepo)

Photoshoots with me are relaxed, meaningful and immersed in nature.
Let's hang out, shoot and preserve precious memories for a lifetime.
Most importantly let's have a photoshoot that's just as exciting and enjoyable as your final gallery.

About my process...
My Vibe
Authentic, natural, heartfelt and FUN. Whether it's a soulful solo maternity, or a celebratory family shoot with young kids, feeling relaxed and having fun is the key to creating images that you'll want your walls to wear for a lifetime.
My Work
As a mother, psychologist and photographer I split my time between my children, my counselling clients and the beautiful individuals I capture on camera.
In all avenues of my life I have dedicated my time to creating meaningful relationships with people and this is the foundation of my images.
My Clients
I am most passionate about shooting motherhood in all its real and raw glory. From beautiful blooming bumps and the tiny delicate feet that follow, to nurturing skin to skin and breastfeeding. My clients value me for the natural feel I bring to my work, from the way I direct my shoots to the look and feel of my gallery post edit.

Chat
First, we will decide upon the right package for you. Once you have settled the fee your booking is confirmed! Then we’ll plan location, wardrobe and general aesthetic. You'll also receive my session guide, which provides further details regarding style & suggestions. Closer to the date i’ll send you a mood board to double confirm our vision.
03.
Capture
The big day! You can explore the location and just be present with your family/loved ones. I’ll be there to follow you and capture the process. At times I might give direction to ensure we're getting the type of photos you've requested.
04.
Curate
Season dependent, galleries are usually delivered within 2-3 weeks. You will receive your edited images, in the form of an online gallery. You can view, download and share!
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Don't worry! I will send through a session guide that covers everything! We also have time to chat all things wardrobe, location etc in the lead up.
What should I wear?
I will send through a style guide to prep you in advance. We can also have conversations in the lead up, to determine appropriate outfit choice. The rest is up to you!
Certain packages also include use of my client closet!
How many pictures will I receive?
I always choose quality rather than quantity. You can check in with our package details for precise options but generally you should expect 80-100 images,
What is your editing process?
Photos will be edited to ensure continuity in look and style throughout your album. Minor blemishes will be altered but no major editing will be done to ensure authenticity.
What should I expect?
A quick rundown: We arrive at the shoot location, I’ll source our first spot to shoot whilst you change into your first outfits. I’ll let you guys get comfortable in front of the camera and give direction (if needed). I’ll then follow you and see how the play unfolds! Interspersing outfit changes when needed. If you have any specific ideas in mind then it’s best to let me know prior to the shoot and I can work this into our rundown! The most important thing is you have fun and I’m there to capture it!
Rescheduling
Certain situations such as emergencies, sickness or weather conditions will allow rescheduling. Rescheduling will be based on both of our availabilities. If you wish to cancel, please note that the paid fee will not be returned.
When will our shoot take place?
Suggested timings for best light are as follows:
Sunrise: 6:30-8:30am.
Sunset: 4-7pm.
Other timings can be arranged and locations will be chosen to avoid harsh lighting.
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 3 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery and also share this with friends and family,
Where are you based? Do you travel?
I'm based on South Lantau and available to shoot anywhere on Lantau island. I know the area well so I am always happy to suggest a spot but you are also welcome to volunteer a place that feels special to you. If you would like me to travel then travel fee will apply.
What is your booking process?
How can I book?
Weekday slots are flexible but weekends are often booked up. I recommend booking at least 1 month in advance to secure your preferred slot.
