I consider myself a sensitive soul. I am often intrigued that my sensitivity is such a strength and yet at times my greatest weakness. My reaction to stark light, overbearing scents in a confined space or a T.V blaring in the background of a home that is meant to be a haven, a sensory overload. In contrast, when I am immersed in the beauty of nature my soul is restored, sitting in the corner of a dimly lit bar on a rainy evening with my husband spirit energised, or perhaps nuzzling into my wee son’s neck breathing in the essence of him, it is these moments that make my heart feel alive and deeply present to the beauty in that moment. These experiences no matter how fleeting have taught me to embrace my sensitivity and allow it to flow into the many facets of my life including my photography. It is this deep knowing that has shaped my work and allows me to document the most intimate, profoundly beautiful and deeply moving moments that can sometimes go unnoticed. It is the essence, the very core of the imagery that I create.

Despite looking so serious in my photo, I’m actually quite the opposite. I’ve had to learn to laugh at myself because if you take life too seriously it becomes an uncomfortable place. I’m passionate about all things old, I think it comes from being raised in South Africa where history was very important to our people and old stories were often shared around the fire. My love for stories is what led me to documenting and creating today, I hope to create something that’s good enough so it can be shared time and time again. That is after all how we measure quality, if it lasts long it’s often because it’s remarkable. I hope to create something that does just that for you.
