Thanks for stopping by. My name is Kirsten and I'm passionate about photography, and portraits are my thing.

In another life I was a corporate PR executive and political and media adviser. If only I had known all those years ago that photography was a career because you will always find me with my camera!

I remember sitting in on an annual report photo shoot years ago for a wine company in a cool, old warehouse space, with magical natural light watching the photographer and thinking - that looks like AMAZING!

I love the emotion that an image can evoke, the memories that it can elicit and the smiles that a great photo can deliver. 

I am always totally honoured when people choose me for their photography and thrive on the challenge of each shoot - whether that's capturing an extended family celebrating their time together, a corporate or charity event or bribing surly teens (or corporate faces!) to smile.

It's just me and my camera and a dedication to capturing photos you'll treasure. The suppliers I work with ensure I am able to present images that are printed to perfection and presented exquisitely, creating art that will be enjoyed for generations.

I am wife to a tragic golfer and mum to three spectacular young women. We love to travel to interesting corners of the globe and my happy place is swimming in the ocean.

I love working with charities and people going out of their way to make this world a better place for those less fortunate. I am delighted to have an ongoing relationship with some incredible organisations, photographing events to promote their work, celebrate their achievements and help in their fundraising efforts.

So They Can aim to empower communities and break the poverty cycle through education. Through their work in Kenya and Tanzania, they have helped over 1,700 children and their families, building schools, orphanages, teacher's colleges and sustainable local businesses. So They Can are the very essence of "every action matters" and showcase that we CAN make a difference and that every child is important. What they have achieved just blows me away and I am truly delighted to tag along for the ride, helping in my little way. I was thrilled to bits to visit Kenya in July 2019 with my oldest daughter, Caitlin. We got to meet our sponsor child and her family and see the incredible difference being made in this community.

As of 2018, I also work with Apropela (formerly Heads over Heels), a not-for-profit organisation that supports female entrepreneurs to build their businesses by accessing powerful networking opportunities. As official photographer, I capture these dynamic women pitching their business plans and seeking key connections through members, creating unique opportunities to grow their businesses. It’s always an inspiring night out, hearing about fantastic businesses and meeting the ambitious, successful women driving them.

In 2019, I also got on board with Remarkable, an accelerator program for disability tech start-ups. I worked across the 16-week program to capture the start-ups being mentored to grow their businesses at key stages of presenting and networking. We’ve been working together ever since and it’s always inspiring and just good fun.

Kookaburra Kids helps children in families who are impacted by mental health. They provide respite camps that allow these children to connect with others in similar situations, have access to counselling and develop resilience strategies to help them cope. They are an incredible organisation, with an impressive team of ambassadors that are committed to raising awareness of mental health and a force of volunteers that are dedicated to delivering support. I have photographed every fundraising event since 2015 and always walk away inspired, impressed and also grateful.
