Personal Portraits

For people who don’t usually ask.

Beautiful photographs of yourself are reason enough.

I bring the same attention to light, movement and detail to personal portraits that I bring to my fashion work. Your session might feel relaxed and natural, more styled, or a little more intimate.

You don’t need modelling experience or a finished idea. We’ll talk about what you’re drawn to, and I’ll guide you through being photographed.

Sessions in Brisbane and Byron Bay.

How we’ll work

Before the shoot, we’ll talk about the photographs you like, what to wear and a setting that suits the feel you’re after. You might be marking a birthday, trying something new, or simply making time for yourself.

During the session, I’ll help with where to look, how to move and what to do with your hands. There’s time to settle in and try things. You can be yourself; the direction is my part.

A little more personal

If you’re drawn to something more intimate, we can talk about what feels right for you. We’ll discuss the setting, your boundaries and any wishes about privacy or public sharing before the shoot.
