Born in Fiji my sister and I spent most of our childhood living our lives in the ocean. Scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing and travelling with our parents. Schooling was a mixture of correspondence & spending a year or two in a \u201cnormal\u201d school environment, we got used to forming friendships quickly and knowing that they would never last long as we would be on the move again. To this day it\u2019s still easy to say goodbye, knowing that somewhere along the track we\u2019ll probably bump into each other again !!<\/h6>\n

We travelled around the world up until I turned 21, my parents always had a house in both Fiji and Queensland, Australia. The house is still sitting over in Fiji, on the Coral Coast, but I haven\u2019t been back since Dad passed away. It\u2019s changed so much over the tens of years .. I miss the days when we were kids, the reef out the front of the house has changed, it\u2019s busier then ever, attitudes are different \u2026 but I would never exchange that life we lived .. the memories will be forever.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5645″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” fullwidth=”yes” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ background_color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1619582942266{margin-bottom: -15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”5636″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1619582612983{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 3% !important;padding-left: 3% !important;}”]We\u2019ve been on the Sunshine Coast for over 16 years now. 25 years of showing horses we finally found the ocean again. We’ve recently moved into Eumundi .. it’s been really nice, quiet, more of a country town that we call crave but still within minutes of the beaches. The boys are now young adults, James, my eldest, is a mad car nut and Will has graced many of my photos.<\/p>\n

People have asked how in the world does a woman in her late 40\u2019s suddenly take up photography.. I became completely infatuated with surfing longboards and my husband Jason and I spent nearly every waking moment surfing thigh high waves ( yes I\u2019m a sook ) Then when the ocean became wild and uncontrollable .. I picked up a camera. My photos now grace magazines such as Pacific Longboarder and I’m regularly booked to work with local swimwear, skin care & surf board shapers.<\/p>\n

If I could give any words of wisdom .. open your mind to what can be, don\u2019t be afraid to experiment, google is your friend, ask lots of questions from those you admire\u2026. and remember no one is perfect, everyone won\u2019t love what you do, be real, be grateful and keep yourself grounded. I\u2019m here right now because of every person who has graced my photos .. thank you from the bottom of my heart.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
