I specialise in Women Empowerment photography. I also love doing Elopements, Intimate Weddings and Lifestyle sessions that include Maternity, Newborn and Families.

I'm a certified trauma-informed life coach and I'm also a self-worth and self-love advocate.

I do Venus Rising Goddess shoots which are all about making women feel special and remind them of the innate worth and beauty.

Photography is my number one passion in life! Well, technically that position is taken up by my 3 gorgeous kids, amazing hubby and my ‘youngest’ (Frankie the dog). Photography is a very close second though! We also happen to be a Rainbow family.

It’s not really easy for me to talk about myself, it just doesn’t come naturally to me. That may be because I’m a high functioning Introvert, but I love people and I’m brilliant at being other people’s cheerleader and hype girl!

In Photography, you work with people who choose you for who you are, as well as the work you do.

So here goes...

I am a natural light photographer and graduated from the NZ Institute of Professional Photography with a Diploma in Professional Photography in 2015. Since then I’ve shot Weddings, Couples, Maternity, Brand & Creative Content, Families, Products, Food and a Birth! Of course, I love them all, but must admit that Love and Maternity are definitely my favourites!!!! 

Light and airy or all beige, desaturated colour and stiff posing is NOT my style... I love something that’s a little bit different. I'll not only capture the big moments, but I’ll also document the in-between moments, the connection, passion, wind-blown hair and intimacy. I love capturing the authentic laughs, tears and even the tantrums or mishaps. l like to capture the true, rich colours and I also add a little touch of drama, something dark and moody, added grain, harsh shadows, a touch of golden hour and all of blue hour are definitely more my style! 

Originally from Namibia, I’m a Mother, Wife, Sister, Friend & Fibromyalgia Warrior. I love to talk to people, listen to music and COFFEE IS LIFE! I occasionally drop the f-bomb... and honestly, with me, what you see is what you get... Oh, and, I love animals, but am terrified of anything with more than 4 legs…..

A couple of years ago, just after I turned 50, I was made redundant from my beloved job in the motor trade. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it forced me to pause and take stock of my life.

I’ve always been a helper, a massive people pleaser and I prioritised everything and everyone else’s needs above my own. My Fibromyalgia was flaring up big time, kicking my butt and combined with other health issues and steroid treatments I gained a lot of weight. I am literally double the size I used to be. I made me feel very self-conscious. Losing my job gave me the time to just sit and think of what I really wanted and needed.

I sat with my trauma and worked through it, instead of just ignoring the pain and shoving my feelings down.

I came to the realisation that your worth is not determined by your weight, looks, abilities or age. I’ve done A LOT of inner work and it helped me realise that even with all my faults and issues, I am still Worthy and that I am actually Good Enough and I have always been more than Enough. Your Worth is innate and cannot be taken away. It just is.

I was, at long last, able to see my true value and I decided to rebrand completely! To say: “Screw you!” to all my limiting beliefs, analysis paralysis, imposter-syndrome and debilitating self-consciousness and low self-esteem, so I guess you can call me a late bloomer... It was high time I started living my BEST life. It was time to put myself out there, to listen to my heart and follow my passion, and pursue Photography more full-time!

My favourite thing to do, is to be a cheerleader for all women and remind them that they are worthy, just as they are.
