praying for warm day

The weather has been so cold the last few weeks in Melbourne, so when the sun popped out and I was down at the Mornington Peninsula visiting my sister, advantage was to be had. With the help from my mum's friendly eye behind the lens:

Swing coat from my upcoming Spring collection

I love tie dye - naturally being a Byron kid. This tunic is from the Uki markets

Backyard barbecue - Summer at my sisters house is going to be divine

perfect spot for arfternoon tea

Ive had these vintage Givenchy sun glasses for more than 5 years, and Im finally getting to use them. The lens is perfection, so I wear them when Im driving

I love this caramel coloured jewel ring I found at the markets in Florence - You paid by what the stones weighed - this was 15 euro - bargain!

I fell in love with this when I saw it in Accessorize in Florence. It was a bit out of my price range on my holiday budget, but I had to have it.

My favourite piece of jewellery at the moment is this H&M suede and chain woven bracelet

H&M have some great little accessories

Prayer Beads that my Mum bought me back from India

stacked bracelets - new fav accessory
My watch is an antique left to me by my late grandmother

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time

High Key Portraits

In the studio, Sienna's character shone through effortlessly, bringing life to each frame with her genuine smiles and infectious energy.
