Empowerment Photography from Melbourne based Portrait, Fantasy and Boudoir Photographer.

I’m a photographer through and through. It’s what I’ve returned to over and over to express my creativity, and I love helping build people up. Self confidence and a healthy relationship with your body and partner are not always easy when mainstream media only features ‘perfect’ people.

Let’s face it, no one is perfect, and if we were the world would be boring.

I’m all for letting your weird out, hanging your freak flag high and being yourself. I love finding out that little voice, that little dream inside that aligns with who you really are.

I’ve loved Norway and the Vikings since a school project when I was 8, so when Covid hit, I let my beard grow and worked with my girlfriend to put together a custom Viking costume to let out my little inner viking. I styled the shoot, chose an awesome location (the Redwood Forest east of Warburton) and had a friend of a friend take our photos. You can see Natalia’s photo on the right.

I promise I’m not usually that fierce :)

I taught karate and self defense for 18 years and that experience helps me guide your posing, and build your confidence. It’s also how I built my confidence and those of my students.

Please contact me directly to book a photoshoot, or just to see if we are the right fit to create magical photos together.
