Perfect way to cool down in this Queensland heat

Leopold is afraid of heights but keeps climbing then can’t come down?

What a privilege it is to be the mother of boys.  Boys who will grow up respecting, loving and honoring women.  Treating them as equals.  Listening, truly listening, to what they have to say.  Taking the word “no” for exactly that— a no.  Valuing the women that they encounter as they go through life.

I promise I’m raising boys who you can trust your girls to be around and be respected by.

My first memorable time at Watson’s Bay was about 10 years ago. I remember going swimming and snorkeling with my partner. I even got into some fishing with him, though I only ended up demotivating both of us with the many times my line got caught on rocks, lost hooks and fish food! ?? I don’t think I’ll ever be great at fishing... 

Few weeks ago, we came back to this spot at Watson’s Bay to reminiscence our first days of dating. It’s still a great instagrammable spot with stunning views of the city skyline just like 10 years ago! ?

To appreciate the view with your heart but not the camera

Visiting Australia when I was 22! This was my first trip with my (now) husband and we’ve continued to travel over the last 14 years! 

It being a Sunday, I decided to go for a photo walk at one of our local beaches. The beach was full of people and I noticed that they were two dogs that were running around with full of energy and were just being playful. I realized that they could turn out to be interesting subjects. I wanted to make a frame where only the two dogs were in it with no individuals. So I waited until the perfect moment. I didn't realize that I have made the frame that I was after, until I got the scans back. I am just happy with the fact, that I was able to freeze this moment. It outlines their character and how friendly they are. This photograph was made on Kodak portra 400 and the camera used was Pentax K1000.

Family time is always precious. Even though We’re getting older and we’ve chosen different paths, our bond has never wavered

My family and I are traveling Australia in our caravan and this shot was taken at the Chinamans hat lookout in the Innes National park in South Australia! 

Out for a spring ride with ma bestie

A couple weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of capturing some images of my friend @senzz_!

Sena is an individual who exudes excellence, and I don't just mean in the usual sense of the word. As black people, our worth is often attached to how much we can succeed in life despite our disadvantages. What makes Sena excellent is the way he makes others feel. He's charismatic, kind, and multi-faceted. He's a theatre nerd, an incredible dancer, and he loves to hang. He's also a huge anime fan ?.

It's not a new thing for black photographers to capture black people, and that's why I want to go further. I want to capture black people who might have felt "othered" at some point in their lives. Maybe they didn't quite fit into spaces society said they "should" have. Maybe they have tastes that are popular now that weren't popular when they were growing up (see previous paragraph for anime ?).

I look forward to capturing more folks like this and potentially start a series ✨

It rains a lot here in the Pacific Northwest. So when the sun comes out, Ginger doesn’t mess around. She soaks up every bit of sun she can!

Randonnée sur les îles du Frioul pendant les vacances d'hiver

It was beautiful day with most important person. Just went for a walk and we created this. 

Baby Joe’s First Easter 2021 

nothing about this last min adventure was well planned. but somehow I still got to this magical place at a magical hour. getting out there is half the battle!

Photo taken with a 100+ years old Petzval lens with a 6*6 Pentacon six TL medium format camera on Kodak Portra 800 film.

I love taking photo with Kodak Portra 400, it’s so versatile, even when there’s a little light available.

One day at the dog park... digging marvelous holes and trying to give my hooman a sand and soil kiss ?❤️

Love going on adventures with you, sister! #NationalSiblingsDay

On a trip to Big Bear Lake in Southern California, my friends and I stumbled across this very spot. It was a moment that had to be captured.

Even when traveling, you have several milestones. At this moment, we celebrated our opportunity to stay in Australia for another year. We had to do at least 3 months of farm work to qualify for a second year Visa.

The moment that she realised the baby was here to stay.

After a whole day of skating between spots, me and my mate Toby rolled up to the final spot. Toby had that this trick (back foot impossible) on his mind all day, he tried for about an hour, but didn’t manage to land it. For one of the final tries I decided to shoot a frame on my Olympus OM-30, and Kodak ultramax 400. 

Easter has come and gone but the memories will warm our hearts forever. Here we are enjoying a stunning sunset at Birdrock Beach on the coast of Victoria. 

This is Scooby - a cat I met on a photo walk through Richmond. His collar says he needs special medication, and he was very friendly. I thought such a special cat deserved a special portrait.
