Photography

Photography has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember.


I have dabbled in many aspects of the hobby, including weddings, maternity, portraits and landscapes.

It has brought me much joy and some beautiful experiences. From travelling to Thailand for weddings to birthing suites.
