Mithra on the Streets of Paris

I am so excited to share with you some of the photos I shot recently with the beautiful Mithra of The Bubble Joy.

This superstar collects and sells vintage deliciousness in her online shop known as Finder Not Keeper and she was a joy in every sense.

Cool, funky and fun and the ultimate pleasure for a photographer, she hands over the trust and was willing to play and play we did!

What a treat, a day in Paris that felt like I was hanging out with someone I had known for years and we had the honour of having a long her super husband Gary.

I am so grateful and fortunate that beautiful souls like Mithra find their way to my door and adore that we have so much in common, love for photography, beautiful things and life.

We roamed around Paris, drinking coffees and rosé (well just a glass) and Mithra shining her light for the camera and all the lucky passersby and folk we found along the way.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

Huge thanks to Mithra for allowing me to share her photos with you…

Wanna Be This Girl On The Streets Of Paris?

Dear Lovers Of Paris and Photography,

I am happy to announce I have opened up 3 spaces for my all-time favourite portrait session in Paris for June, July and September where you get to be the rockstar.

This isn’t any regular portrait session, it’s you caught in your own cinematic Paris film!

Slip into the noir of Paris like a movie-star on set, un-observed in quiet moments in cool bars, shot through the window unobserved. It’s for lovers of Paris and photography that want something a little more rock-n-roll, you caught in a whir of blur and the only thing in focus is your beautiful face.

Celebrate being fabulously single at 30 or 40, celebrate you and motherhood and coming out the other side of the toddler stage and finding yourself again. Celebrate being in love or getting divorced but most of all celebrate YOU, YOU, YOU. You are fabulous just as you are today, not SOMEDAY and I love nothing better than celebrating you in Paris in the coolest way possible and creating images that will become part of your story and your families story.

Paris Film Noir Shoot – Ibiza Girl

Dear Friends,

You know it’s your lucky day when a gal like this beauty walks in the door.

The beautiful Linda Karlsson and I share a common love for Puglia, the lifestyle, the architecture, the people and the scrumptious beautiful food. And not to mention that she lives in paradise, on the beautiful Ibiza.

Gosh, there is so much to talk about we almost forgot to shoot! Like her heavenly villa on Ibiza that she rents out as a sanctuary so folks can escape to enjoy island life for a while in the prettiest setting, she has created. The sanctuary also hosts regular yoga retreats so if you love yoga you might like to check out the schedule and get super excited about booking a ticket to Ibiza.

She was a dreamboat to photograph, all I had to do was frame and shoot!

Hugest thanks to the wonderful Linda for sharing her beauty with us and the generosity for allowing me to share this shoot.

You can check out her Ibiza sanctuary HERE.
