If I ever refer to “we”, I really mean, “I” — I’m a one woman studio. I’m a proud photography geek, turning my life long hobby into my dream job. I’ve been taking photos for as long as I can remember. Film holds a special place in my heart (see a film snap of my family below) and that’s why I shoot hybrid, 35mm film & digital, so you can experience some of the timeless and beautiful art that I love so much.

I’m an enthusiastic, hopeless romantic and positive human; I’m told my energy is infectious and often referred to as a ‘hoot’ (which by the way, makes for great natural laughter in photos)! All I want you to do is have FUN on your wedding day because I want to have fun too capturing that REAL joy!!! That’s where the magic happens. On your wedding day, I’ll be your confidante, your friend and your hype queen!

Here are a few more about me:

• I’m a Kiwi, born and raised in New Zealand. A few years ago, I moved to London on a complete whim (without ever having been there). Now, I live in South London with my inquisitive, funny and sweet baby girl, who makes us laugh every single day — motherhood is a dream!

• I’m a proud mama to the coolest gal, Leila, who I named my business after as her middle name is ‘Amali’

• Paloma and Frozen Margaritas are my drink of choice, although I do love a cold frothy one too and vino verde! Throw a beach and sunset in the mixer, and you’ve got one happy lady

• My favourite things in life are ocean swims, hiking in the mountains, road trips abroad, discovering new places and showing my toddler the world through my eyes - we love an adventure especially if it’s abroad!

• A harpist by trade, I’ve been playing the harp since I was 7 years old and have played professionally as a soloist, with orchestras and even at a dinner for Prince Edward when he visited Auckland, New Zealand. I love music so much; it’s in my blood. My mama is a harpist too!
