After photographing the 9/11 tribute lights in 2014, I had packed away my gear and was heading back to the subway. I saw the view from Brooklyn Heights and couldn’t walk away. It remains one of my favourite images from our time living in NY.

Attended a SMH Clique portrait workshop today and got to see 16 years of dreadlock growth in full flight.

Somehow I turned around and my son has gone and grown up on me. 6 foot tall. Size 12 shoes. Teen angst. 13 years old.

He is passionate about his role in the army cadets and is heading off tonight to spend a weekend sleeping under a tarp in a paddock down near Canberra.

Nobody explains how short a childhood actually is. How soon a mother has to relinquish her child. I’m both excited and terrified about this age.

My photo of my neighbour’s gorgeous beagle was just announced as a finalist in the Camera House competition with the theme PETS. He is so adorable.

A great privilege to attend the MCA for a cocktail party, then get to access the works after dark in the closed gallery. I tend to be more interested in the people contemplating the art, and have the security guards worried as I stalk people a little to photograph their silhouette against the art.

This sculpture of Arnhem Land by Barayuwa Mununggurr forms part of the new exhibition ‘Today Tomorrow Yesterday’.

Undeniable proof that raising children causes grey hair. Thanks for always loving our children, over and above everything else. For giving them the courage to be honest in themselves and explore the world, safe in the knowledge they are loved and supported XX

Shelly Beach heralds the change of seasons with a vibrant colour palette of green and blue. After years of near misses, I finally got my shot of Hugh on his penny farthing.

Want to gain a unique insight into the towns of Australia? The Postcode Project is a website that offers photographers the chance to document a town through words and photos. My entry for North Curl Curl has just been accepted and you can view it here http://postcodeproject.com/2099-north-curl-curl/.

Why not have a look around and travel to some other towns while you are there!

Thoroughly enjoyed taking photos at a local school to capture their concert this week. So much vibrant colour, music and high energy performances. Did manage to capture a moment of calm amongst the riot of movement.

So excited to receive notification that my entry to the SMH Clique competition has been awarded a Highly Commended! This month’s theme was for ‘Sport + Action’ and my image was taken down at Dee Why with a very willing, but slightly puzzled, teenager who was happy to keep diving into the pool until I had the shot I was after.

Lovely to capture the family dynamics before the arrival of a new baby and the changes this brings. Such gorgeous light down at the beach for a relaxed afternoon shoot.
