A sunset in the middle of Agafay desert.

We went to Santa Monica first time and I asked my boyfriend to take a pic of me. I will be our moment Forever.

One of the most beautiful moments I experienced in the last few months. My best friends visited me in  Croatia and I took them up to the mount Srđ in Dubrovnik. While they were overwhelmed by the scenery I took my Leica and pressed the trigger. 

we didn't have much when we decided to get married but we had chosen each other and that was the most important thing. we dream of visiting the world together.

After a small hike into the bush we found this amazing hidden gem called Python Pool inside Millstream Chichester National Park. We were very lucky to have it all to ourselves that morning and we even went back later that afternoon to hike to the top of the waterfall to explore further. 

When it’s 100+ degrees you get to have your first popsicle.. living your best life.. feeling the summer vibes. 

Catch the sweet moment of love.

Went for a spontaneous sunset picnic 

This was a few days after I brought my new puppy home. I bought the milestone cards online as I am a beyond proud dog Mom and I have waited a long time for this moment. This is Yoda sat at the front door of his new forever home. 

Our park day was rained out, so instead we grabbed some new books from the library and some treats from Starbucks. When we got home Argo made himself comfy in the kitchen with his cake pop and new book.

family time in Egypt

Truth to be told, I detest any type of balloons. I’ve learned that balloons, especially Mylar balloons, are hazardous to our environment. Mylar balloons will never biodegrade, even much more harmful to wildlife and marine life. So, as a Deaf Afro-Latina artist, I decided to make a change. I did my first custom made shoes with pieces of Mylar balloon!

My beautiful rag doll cross kitty. He’s such a stunner no matter what he’s doing, eating or sleeping. 

My first vacation in the US in 2005 meeting my nieces and nephew. We took pro photos in the mountains with a family friend before I returned home to New Zealand. Its’ been 17 years and I miss them dearly. Hoping to reunite again some time soon.

Myself and one of my best mates Harvey always catch up when Im in town by going for a late night photo walk. We find it's the best way we get creative, and we always bounce ideas off one another. Using my Rolleiflex, I heard I could pull of double exposures by recocking the shutter, albeit very meticulously. I managed to find some colder fairy lights, pushed the focus as far out as I could and shot the frame. Merely 50 metres from these fairy lights was a alleyway at Riverside Market in Christchurch which has some warmer lighting, perfect for a portrait. It all seemed to click into place as I framed Harvey. I used to work at Photo & Video in Christchurch, a very popular camera store, which is how me and Harvey met, so we went down the very next day to get the roll developed. As you can imagine, seeing the negative our faces were in awe.

At Mortimer farms enjoying the sunflower fields with friends. 

All smiles during my first time to #horseshoebend. An incredible sight despite it was overcast, chilly and even rained when my friend and I visited just briefly. Of course I had to send some energy out to the devas of the area and for world peace.

Out and about running in beautiful spring weather. My little girl Ingrid (1) relaxing in the wagon 👌🏼❤️

My world

This amazing Kodak moment was taken when we were on our holiday visiting Athens.

My little girl was throwing a tantrum wanting to be mischievous, and my husband was trying to calm her down and take care of her. And in the middle of her fussing and crying I kept taking photos and ended up taking this wonderful photo that is truly magical.

My ten month old calls for her dada frequently throughout the day. If the front door is left open, she’ll stand at the screen door and call for him, hoping to see him come home. It’s the most precious thing I’ve ever seen!

It’s simple things in life that mean the most 

Sunny day with my family.

This spring when I got covid my boyfriend took this candid photo of my cat Moon sleeping with me on the sofa. 

Shot on the University of Washington campus. Captured on Kodak Gold 200 for 120 film. This roll is probably my first successful use of Gold where I caught the exact colors I was looking for, and I’m looking forward to shooting on it more as we break through this summer.

Driving through Twizel on the way back to Christchurch, this bridge is a bit of a locals spot. I used to jump off here back in the day when I did rowing so knew of its existence. Being severely hungover with the temperature hitting 30 degrees, we knew it would be a crime to not go for jump. An absolute necessity to wake you up in the mid Canterbury region.

Candid photograph also a Kodak moment.
