Profile
I’m a single Mum with a passion for photography.
Photography has become a real passion and obsession in my life. At this point in time, it is a weekend thing that I fit in around my “real job”, but I now find myself trying to find a way to make photography my “real job”
A love of the bush and nature has found me concentrating mainly on landscape type photography. I love just jumping in the car to chase a sunset or an incoming storm, or rising early to drive goodness knows where just to capture some of nature’s beauty in my camera lens. I love hiking in Namadgi National Park in Canberra and have a great love of our Alpine country in all seasons!
I’m now currently using 2 cameras, my Sony Alpha A350 and my trusty and reliable Panasonic Lumix FZ-18, 8mp, 18x zoom.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work. If you have any questions or any kind words of encouragement, or just want to say hello, please feel free to send me a bubblemail.
