“from fashi n inspired to fine art...�
Photographer’s note
Iuse photography as a transformative experience –from the moment you and I discuss
your photo shoot we begin a journey of making you feel absolutely beautiful. After listening to what you like to wear, how you like your hair and makeup, what sort of women inspire you, we pool together on a little creative project that lasts a lifetime...”from fashion-inspired fun to fine art”. My job is to capture you just how you’d like to be seen if indeed the most beautiful image of you existed. A shoot with me involves creative direction and styling. With as many as three dress changes in a single photo session you can indulge yourself in a number of looks and styles. I shoot on location in a mix of studio and natural light. I like to find interesting buildings, architecture, as well as natural environments—parklands, mountains, rivers, to use as backdrops in the narrative of my photography. If you don’t have a location in mind, you can leave that up to me! At Divinely You Photography my vision is to distill the beauty in you, to offer each woman the luxury of makeup and hair and dressing up, of styling and posing like the world’s most beautiful magazines do, and bring to light the most glamorous you…a divinely you. I first took up my camera long before primary school and began an affair with the visual arts that continues to quench my creative soul. Trained ‘old-school’ in the days of ‘film and darkrooms’ I entered Melbourne School of Art & Photography on a scholarship. Photography has always been my deepest and most sacred joy. It trumps all the finer things in life. Photography is my diamonds, and my chocolate.

The choice is yours. And with as many as three dress changes, which includes use of garments and accessories from my style-box, we can mix it up and get you glamorous together. ...”creative

Funky kids in fine art
l
ifestyle portraits capture the storytelling and soul in each of us.
It’s you in your environment, in your favorite places, being as you are on your weekends and days off, doing what makes you, who you are. In these sessions I spend a few hours in your world, in your favorite places, and create a story through images of your kids, capturing and preserving their most divine moments in a soulful, storytelling kind of way. Lifestyle portraits are less posey, more candid in action. My shooting style with kids is to offer creative direction but capture ‘lifestyle in action’...
