Photographer, shopkeeper & storyteller

I am an Australian portrait & landscape photographer based in Wiradjuri Country/West Wyalong, NSW. Here you will find my boutique space, My Notes From Gallery, Studio, & Store.

My Notes From Gallery, Studio & Store is currently closed after a big move from Tenterfield, NSW.

My Notes From Gallery, Studio & Store will be opening in West Wyalong hopefully in mid June of this year.

I am based at my new happy place, My Notes From Gallery, Studio & Store located in the picturesque town of West Wyalong, in the Riverina region of New South Wales. I moved here in March 2026 and I am looking forward to exploring and sharing the region as I fall in love over, and over again!

It is here, in Wiradjuri Country/West Wyalong where I make endless notes with my lens. These are the notes from my world.

​​​My Online Store will include a small, carefully curated range of prints, cards, tea towels, calendars and gifts and is to be an extension of my physical space on Main Street, West Wyalong. Please note that I will be adding items in the current months.

I create images that make people say, "That is how I always wanted to see myself” and where traditional portraiture meets the contemporary world.

My photography is all about capturing moments that will be treasured forever. 

I believe that every face is beautiful and that there is nothing more important than putting yourself in the frame.  ​

I always wanted a portrait experience to be accessible for everybody so one of my passions is my Studio Portrait Sessions.  

With my landscapes, I share my love of the world in which I live to remind people of the beauty that surrounds them.
