I have to confess
.
2020/beginning of 2021 was terrifying and I had a break down. I know I am not the only one.
.
Thanks to every speaker at @jailong.co WPS 2021. I have learnt to much. It has been mind blowing that I know MYSELF, MY BUSINESS and THE WAY I DO THINGS is going to GROW so much more from now on.
.
I have always been a late bloomer and it has always taken me a little bit longer to achieve things, maybe that is because my primary school teacher kept saying that to me, I started believing it. So here is to my future self: "YOU ARE SENSATIONAL. YOU ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE IN THE RIGHT TIME". Honestly right after my break down this is what I told myself and in 1 month... Yes 1 month, I was so busy I couldn't keep up. Making that mind shift helped me so much.
.
We never know enough. We should just be open to learn a little and give a little more.
.
So who out there wants to go for a coffee ☕ and chat about their business? I am a good listener 😁
.
Thank you to these inspirational humans out there. One day I hope to be one of you all:

Meet the Roux family. I have walked a journey with this family for 6 years and actually took Lila's new born photos. I love it when families trust me to document their growing familiy.

Now this answers your question... I do photograph New Born and Families... anything with people I guess🤔

Kind of still pinching myself of how insane these turned out when we had a massively storm wind that greeted us on arrival.

One balloon didn't make the trip down so we had to improvised the gender reveal. Turned out insane😲 Don't you think?

This is me. I laugh a lot. I talk a lot as well. So I promise you won't be bored at the shoot. But please don't get me started talking about sci fi or fantasy movies. I will probably go on for hours. ⁠
.⁠
Okay yes I think it is time to confess...I am a Lord of Rings and Star Wars fan, those aren't the only movies but I could honestly picture myself living in one of those era's (or would I say worlds). Either way they're worlds apart🤣 oh my gosh I am just on a roll today. See what I mean⁠
.⁠
Another confession: I am a super nerd with technology as well or would that make me a geek?⁠ I design websites on the side for small businesses and I am a qualified UX Designer. Jane of all trades🤣😂

Enough about me... Just wanted to bore you a little on this fine Wednesday.

There are a few moments that I can honestly say that have defined me as a photographer and I must say this wedding surely was one of those moments.

Today is a day for romantic movies, red wine and being snuggled up in front of a fireplace.

As a creative I always want to try new things in shoots, please trust me :) I climb over rocks and would get into the water with you (doesn't matter how cold) ... one thing though - Promise me you'll catch my camera if I fall, don't worry about me, I have always been a bit of a tom boy anyways.⁠
.⁠
Funny story mentioning this actually. I always had bruises as a child. I use to climb up the gutter pipe and then put my one foot on the roof when I was 4 years old and then scream for my mom to come help me onto the roof. Every time she took me down and not even 10minutes later I would be screaming again. ⁠
.⁠
She got fed up and ordered a jungle gym. The delivery guy refused to deliver the jungle gym because I was too little according to the age restriction, but my mom told him this story and he didn't even hesitate. ⁠

Throwback to an incredible shoot that made me fall in love with the winter warm colours and the amazing light that goes with it.

One of my love languages is WORD OF AFFIRMATION. Who else can relate?

Tip to future clients:
You will probably feel like you are at a red carpet event and everyone is giving you compliments about your dress code, how amazing the lighting is reflecting on your skin or how insanely perfect you fit into the setting. This is basically what happens at my shoots in a nut shell...
