It is too late to be a pessimist

In a world that is rushing to depletion caused by the incredible and infinite intelligence of the human mind, we should not be asking ourselves "how can I make a difference" but "how can I not". We no longer live a world where the uncertainty of our existence lays in the future - that was the world of our parents and grandparents - we exist in a world that is being devastated Now.

Indeed it seems a statement of doom - but it is not - this could be one of the most positive pushes toward enlightenment humanity has ever faced.

Ask yourself right now what do you need in your life to find [peace]? If the answer is money - than your probably listening to your ego and not yourself / your heart.

Educate yourself, pick up books that make a difference, plant a tree, walk to work, breathe consciously, eat less meat, eat no meat, vote Yes to carbon tax, encourage government to make positive choices for our earth, smile more... much more

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.

High Key Portraits

In the studio, Sienna's character shone through effortlessly, bringing life to each frame with her genuine smiles and infectious energy. The high-key setup accentuated the play of light on her curls and highlighted the sparkle in her eyes, resulting in a collection of portraits that capture not just her appearance but the essence of who she is – vibrant, captivating, and utterly unique

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
