Simple Ideas with Madison

Life can get busy very quickly, and what feels like weeks ends up being years. I had been meaning to catch up with Madison to create sooner but life had changed and so had my job. This little shoot felt so grounding as we caught up what life had been like for us both since our last shoot in 2023. A simple idea shot at home using lighting from the window and the contrast of the white wall and the peach colored bed sheet. Madison and I wont wait another two years to create agian we ...

A few more black and white shots with River. We didnt really have a plan for this day other than experimenting with multilayer exposure. But days like this some times prove to be the most rewarding as the creative back and forth bring forward new ideas you would not have originally thought of.

Sunrise with Summer

Model : Summer

Early morning missions with Summer. It's always a blessing to have a friend who knows new local areas. Wasn't sure what to expect this morning but what we got was nothing short of spectacular! Technically this shot was taken during the end of summer, but when your friend is Summer, the magic doesn't stop even in winter months!

A quite moment with an old friend. In a few months she will be travelling around Australia. We useally spent time catching up in our home town together, it will feel strange not seeing her there. But I'm excited about catching up in different states, cities and towns of Australia while she travels with her partner.

She's the first person who kick started my creative journey. And honestly it feels like I'm seeing off my little sister as she goes travelling. Wishing her all the best on h...
