Mornington Peninsula Family Photographer | My Why?

This photograph of my daughters is one of my favourites. It makes my heart happy to see their smiling faces together and their warm embrace. When I look at it I remember where we were when it was taken … on holidays at our favourite summer destination and at the time we were exploring the beach and inlet together.

And it helps connect me to the things that are the most important to me in this life.

I’ve tried to put my core beliefs in writing here.They are so entwined with my work and the reasons why I continue to pursue photography in an ever competitive market.

It’s not an easy task to write this and I’m sure that I’ve probably left something important out, but I’ve done this to communicate what I try and achieve through my work and it is so irrevocably linked to my personal values that it’s worth putting it out here. I hope that it resonates with some of you.
