I'm Katie,  a "scatterling of Africa" recently returned to Australia  after living a decade in Hong Kong.  As a full-time artist, I paint, sculpt and use my camera daily to inspire and process ideas. My work in family photography allows me to sustain my practise and  is a natural extension of my art as both are about light, connection, and storytelling. Through photography, I create images that clients treasure while continuing to nurture the work I do in the studio.

My career started in brand marketing for the publisher of Australia's leading women’s lifestyle magazines. I was privileged to work with inspiring and creative people for many years and it was here that I grew my appreciation for the power of beautiful photographs. After a decade in publishing, I focused my lens on children because their free spirits, is what made me fall in love with this art form. I'm  passionate about capturing the moments, and crafting vibrant, energetic images that are as unique as the people in the pictures. 

On a shoot, what I do with my camera is only one element of making a photograph. Over the last twenty years, I've been lucky to collaborate with amazing clients who appreciate that beautiful images can only be created if styling and energy are committed in equal measures. When all of these elements are in place, incredible light allows the magic to happen. 

If you're reading this and are interested in my work, then please get in touch. I look forward to our paths crossing.
