About me.
I’m a multi-creative published photographer, editorial writer and creative freelancer, with a focus on houses, brands and beautiful places around the world.
I grew up on the land in rural Victoria in a blended, busy family, and the genuineness, warmth and hard working ethic of my upbringing anchors much of my work with clients, no matter where I am in the world. After five years living in cities, I finished my Bachelor of Arts (Professional and Creative Writing) in 2019 and returned to the country. I found love, peace, and reconnected with an unwavering, genetic desire to create.
I have a professional/corporate background in newspaper journalism, marketing communications, and social media – but photography was something that found me, and blossomed as I grew as a creative.
Since losing my father at 17, I’ve had such a strong calling to preserve beautiful people and places more powerfully than a memory, but I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. Whether it was capturing my parents’ wedding at 13 on Mum’s B&W Minolta, clicking away on my Nikon point-and-shoot, and later capturing with an iPhone, I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. In 2020, I bought my first DSLR second-hand for $200 with a couple of old lenses on Facebook Marketplace (for $60!), and that investment has seen a return of over six figures in business.
My approach is both diligent and heartfelt in my writing and photography, as I create content that speaks for itself.

Whether it’s interstate or overseas, I’m a seeker of beautiful places.
I’m based in the Western District of Victoria, where I live with my beautiful (Norwegian!) husband, Haavard (pronounced ‘Hor-vard’), and our pupper, Piper. We spend our spare weekends renovating our late-Victorian era, ‘ Henderson Cottage’. We have travelled interstate and internationally for work several times a year, and love any opportunity to go beyond Australia’s shores.
In 2023, we launched an online academy for creatives, The Creative’s Toolkit, with a mission to increase successful creative careers by equipping people with profitable skillsets. We also offer lots of free resources via the blog, our YouTube channel, and the Courageous Creatives Podcast.
I am always up for coffee and a chat (on Zoom too, if you’re not local!). If you’re interested in one of my services, or just want to connect – drop a line via my contact page.
Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to working with you!
