What does a Leavers Photoshoot "experience" mean for you?
To begin with, it’s a lot more than your basic school photos that you get for the yearbook. Your last year at school is not just special - it's monumental and it's going to be over so fast!  Before you know it, exams will be over and the year will be done and all the milestones of high school, the classes with teachers you've loved (and hated!) the sports you've played, the shows you've performed - will all be done and dusted - never to be repeated! 

How do you want to remember this time?

If the last few pandemic years have taught us anything, it's that you never know what's going to happen next - so don't put it off, do something special now - while you can! 

I carved out this niche of High School Leavers Portraits here in Hobart, Tasmania because there was literally nothing like it….and every high school student I knew, hated their formal School Photo for the yearbook.   Obviously, you need to get your basic School Photo - but do you want that to be the only professional image to sum up your Leaver's Year?  Don't you want some photos of you - that you absolutely love to remember this year, to let your mum post on her Facebook without cringing and for your nan to put on her mantlepiece and for you to actually smile (not inwardly groan) every time you visit her and see it there 

Your high school leavers portraits should be about you – who you are right now; who you want the world to see; how you want to be remembered.

A snapshot into my life

1 / 5

I love getting out in nature - especially here in beautiful Tassie!  I love the clean, fresh air and the smell of the trees after it rains! Hobart really is such a great place to be to feel at one with nature and natural surroundings.  My studio is on our 5-acre property and I love that we are literally living amongst the bush and natural surrounds.  If you want to include some outdoor images amongst the local nature - let me know! We can absolutely add that on.

This is my cat, Snowy.  He is the best! He came home to us when he was a tiny kitten from 10-Lives Cat Centre and he basically is the boss of the household.  He loves to lord it over our dog, strut around and generally pretend he's the king of the castle.  He's actually a big scary cat though and is even frightened of birds.  His other favourite habit is scratching and putting pulls in my photography fabrics and ripping holes in my (very expensive) backdrop paper - so he's not allowed in my studio!

Our doggo Monty is still a puppy really!  He was born this year in 2022 and came home to us from the Hobart Dogs home when he was only 12 weeks old.  He's a border collie cross bull dog and his favourite thing is playing tug of war with his big human sisters.  He's a busy puppy, as he goes to work with his dad (my husband, Phil) every day to keep him company in the workshop.  I love to take him on walks in the bush around our place.  He is super friendly and loves pats and being told he's a "goodboi"

I'm a dance-mum and gymnastics-mum and soccer-mum!  My kids love their sports and I love watching them and also capturing them.  If you have a special sport that you love, we can absolutely incorporative it into your session - just let me know and then bring your highest energy to your session!  

Lots of energy here

I love artwork - art of all kinds!  I especially love photographic fine art and seeing images printed and on display.  Nothing beats a piece of photographic art that you can actually hold in your hand.  Ask me about options for different pieces of art you can have printed and displayed in your home or as gifts for your family members.
