I honestly can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a camera in my hand.
My camera has been beside me through so many of life’s moments—family celebrations, holidays, walks along the beach, special occasions and even the simplest everyday moments. If I see something that catches my eye, I just have to capture it.

I think what I love most about photography is that feeling when you see something through the lens and know you’ve found the moment. It might be a beautiful sunset, the way the light falls, a cheeky smile, something happening in nature, or a little moment between the people I love. When I press the shutter and know I’ve captured it, I can’t help but smile.

I’m a mum, a grandmother and a great-grandmother, and my family is a huge part of my life. I have loved capturing the memories of generations of my family and, in doing so, creating photographs that will hopefully be treasured long after the moment has passed.
Photography has also given me a wonderful escape from my working life. After 38 years in real estate, I am looking forward to the day I can finally retire and have more time to follow my passion. I dream of having the freedom to pick up my camera, go wherever the day takes me, and simply look for those little moments that make me stop, look and smile.

I don’t take photographs because everything is perfect. I take them because life is full of beautiful, unexpected and fleeting moments—and I want to remember them. For me, photography is about capturing a moment, keeping a memory and telling a story through a single image.
And most importantly, it makes me happy.
