I think photography should be about story telling. I’m not a fan of a perfectly lined up group of people all smiling at the camera, with eyes that are doing the exact opposite of looking happy to be here. I love capturing moments, and personalities, and relationships. I want photos to capture the essence, the…
Global Big Latch On events take place at registered locations around the world, where women gather together to breastfeed and offer peer support to each other. Their friends, family and community join this celebration to promote and support breastfeeding. This was the local event at The Hungry Peacock & The Busy Peacock organised by the…
I haven’t trained for over a week and it feels crap. Yep – there are legitimate reasons to miss training and then there is the generic I can’t be stuffed. The whole parenting gig means I’m so sleep deprived my coffee needs a coffee…. and that I sometimes (read 99.98% of the time) do not…
^^ True statement. I can’t remember the exact moment I stopped but I have roller derby to thank. I grew up with my mum and sister, and I was the largest. I remember them both looking in mirrors exclaiming themselves to be too fat yet when I pointed out that I was larger, the reply…
Roller derby is a full contact women’s sport on roller skates. Q.E.D. Okay, so seriously… I play roller derby because I hate the gym and I dislike repetitive exercise.

This guy gave me some awesome cuddles 🙂

Sigh… this is a rant that has building up for a long time. And I don’t apologise for it. I am so so so sick of gender stereo types. I have no clue how a child in this day and age is meant to grow up with secure feelings of self worth. Why do we…
Existing in photographs – it’s a thing and it’s important. So many of us duck, dodge, dip and dive when a camera is pointed our way. Who wants to be immortalised when we’re not feeling our most beautiful? We’re not as young as we used to be.. We’re having a fat day, a bad hair…
What’s your favorite image of yourself and why? There’s more to it than how we look in the image. It’s all about what emotions it evokes. The feelings of joy, happiness, pride, empowerment that go with the picture, or the memories of the moment captured perhaps? We are engrossed by more than just the light…
What makes you feel beautiful? For me it’s not always about how I look. Sometimes it’s about how others look at me. Or I feel beautiful when someone really takes the time to listen. It’s hard not to feel beautiful in a spectacular setting or gorgeous scenery. I can see beauty in others when they…
