Here's a little about me...
I am a multi award winning photographer based in Timaru but happy to travel to various locations around South Canterbury and even beyond - so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are outside of South Canterbury!
I am a proud dog obsessed mum to a grumpy Miniature Schnauzer. He is my world and makes me laugh every single day. He has always been my little sidekick and I don't venture too far without him.
I have loved animals all my life and have always wanted to surround myself with them anyway I could. When I was young I studied Vet Nursing and went on to work at the RSPCA in Sydney.
After returning to NZ, I become obsessed with photography and fell completely in love with photographing babies and families but dogs have always had my heart so I decided to blend my favourite things - dogs and photography!

"Just a Dog
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.”
They don’t understand the distance travelled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.”
Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.”
Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog”"
