About Me

I have a great life.

I work as a photographer but for a long time before that I worked in Marketing... I suffered a stroke 2yrs ago and it took away my hearing. I have to say I am 99% back to where I was.. I regained my speech, my movement, everything except my hearing. But life goes on.. :)

I have two websites, www.PanographsAustralia.com

and www.NoNegatives.com.au

Check them out if you ever want a landscape shot of Lake Macquarie or Newcastle. :), Or you just want a new desktop image

I have also done a work for Tracks Surf Mag, OCean and Earth,The Herald, Hunter Tourism, Vineyards, B&B and so on. My work has appeared in Girlfriend Magazine and other publications.

I have been working with some great models, Tegs and Jordy, Charlotte, Charles, Ebony and just discovering my new landscape for which there shots are in my photo section.

I also do digital retouching.. taking out all the wrinkles and making people look all "Hollywood".

I have always worked in Marketing/Pr and Photography was just a natural progression from there.

I live in the Country,on Australia's east coast.

I love black and white photography,old photos from the 1800's and 1900's. I wish I could travel back to the early 1900's and photograph the Rocky Mountains.

I am blessed with the most amazing, supportive, talented and intelligent husband & friends, a completely insane, but loving family, a job I love and a great view of the land every day.

I do make mistakes, but I learn from them.

I love black and white movies and happily ever afters.

I try to be someone who inspires others positively, creatively and intellectually, and search out people who will do the same. I LOVE to learn new things.

I like to watch cartoons in my pj's but I prefer the old cartoons like the road runner.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.
