the
muse portrait
As women we 0ften shy away from the undivided attention that comes with being photographed. The awkwardness. Uncertainty. Fear of being labeled vain. The pressure to look perfect. I'm here to guide you to the best photo experience you've ever had. Trust me I've helped even the most confident woman to relax and stop the knee shakes. To turn her body just a smidge to the left. Because that's what looks great in camera. To smile from her eyes. To marvel over how much she is loving the creative flow that comes with being in my studio. To be absolutely blown away by what she sees straight off the back of my camera.
This is what I do. And this is exactly why I do it.
To lift you up. To show you how the world sees you.
Because one day someone will be looking for a photo of you.
And when we spark joy in our own lives ... just for ourselves ... the flow on effect can be nothing short of transformative. A portrait session is a fun, creative way to celebrate you and this one big beautiful life!
all about the
portrait EXPERIENCE
From the moment you are welcomed into my beautiful home studio on the Gold Coast, you just know you are in good hands.
Be pampered by a professional hair and makeup artist as you sip on your freshly made coffee, breathe deeply, and just enjoy time to yourself. Be inspired by the studio wardrobe possibilities. The stunning fresh flowers.
There's shared laughter, easy conversation, and palpable excitement.
This is all about having fun and creating something extraordinarily beautiful.
From the moments. The connection.
You'll discover it's not so much about the exterior, as it is about capturing a moment, a look, an introspection, the way the light falls...
my portrait WORK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS
TIMELESS.
connected.
artful.
FULL OF LIFE.
When I think about how others describe my work, I'm often reminded of what other photographers have commented.
There's a stillness. My portraits evoke a quiet confidence. A relaxed and comfortable subject engaging effortlessly and authentically with the lens. She's surrounded by such beauty in the way she's captured - the attention to detail of her positioning, the clothing, the textures, the colours, the furnishings, the handpainted backdrops, the flowers. Most always, always the flowers.
She can't help but evoke joy and truly bloom.
And from her? Pure Wonder. Excitement. Transformation in how she sees herself. And that's just following a peek at the back of my camera during the photoshoot. It's not over-editing or photoshop. It's her. Artfully her.
And it leaves her absolutely buzzing for a very long time afterwards. The creative fun and play, the beauty and how she is seen. By herself. And others. The whole experience leaves her electric.

Milk Bath Muse
Clothed in gowns from our extensive studio wardrobe, the combination of warm concealing milky water and the natural light from open skies, brings such a serene, beautiful feel to our milk bath portraits.
And when professionally printed on art paper with matte inks - wow. Words can't begin to describe the beauty. Ask to see some samples in our studio.
Fine Art Framed Prints
Your new heirloom. Photographs that border on being more artistic than they are documentary. There's nothing out of place about displaying these beautiful pieces as enduring timeless pieces of art in your home.
(Psst... these professionally printed artworks are NOTHING like the cheesy glam studio portraits of the 80's!!! That I can absolutely promise you.)
worth it
Our collections begin at $995. We begin by creating a custom proposal for how you want to be photographed and the package that you love the most. Whether that's wall art or a stylish portfolio box. Then we start the styling fun!
