I am passionate about … Photography (of course), my family, baking, cloth nappies, fashion and design.


I get frustrated when … I don’t keep on top of my housework. I’m a neat freak AND I have two kids under 2.5. I wish I could just let it go but I’m a ‘tidy house, tidy mind’ type of person.

I started my business because … After I had my first baby, I realised the photography studios at the time in Brisbane really weren’t my style. I wanted something fun and fresh and happy to hang on my walls.

If handed $100,000 in an envelope and instructed to spend it however I pleased, I would … I’d probably be really boring and save it. But if I have to spend it, I’d take my husband on an extravagent second honeymoon and put a deposit down on a house in Hawthorn.

If I could be anywhere right now I’d be … Right here. Or shopping. It’s a toss between the two.

I am most proud of … My second birth experience. I practiced hypnobirthing while pregnant with our baby and to birth with joy and without fear has changed my life.

I think the biggest obstacle our kids will face in the future is … I have two girls so I would say having a healthy body image and respect for themselves. I want my girls to grow into free spirited, strong women and there are so many obstacles yet to come for them that I have no control over – the media, boyfriends, girlfriends ...

My favourite item from our product range is … The gallery wrap canvas I source from the US. It creates magical works of art out of the images I capture.

My heart sings when … I watch my husband dancing with our two girls

The hardest part of running my business is … Stopping at the end of the day. Seriously, I say it all the time but I don’t feel like what I do is ‘work’. I consciously have to take time out to spend days with my girls and husband.

I love sipping on … Tea and margaritas. (Not together obviously).

A person I admire greatly is … My mum. She raised three children under 3 and managed to keep an amazing house, iron all our clothes (who has time for ironing these days!) and cook all our meals, all while running an international business. I get tired just thinking about what a day for her must have been like.

The best part of my day is … Sneaking in on my children and watching them sleep. It’s true you love them just a little bit more when they’re sleeping.

My favourite food is … Anything my husband cooks, he’s amazing.


I struggle with … Creating a mental snapshot of my children just as they are, right now. They’re already growing so quickly and I try to drink them in at every opportunity.

I just can’t live without … A cup of tea first thing in the morning.
