The Art of Storytelling Through Photography
I have always been captivated by the beauty of nature and the incredible wildlife that calls it home. My passion for photography is deeply rooted in my love for the wild, with a special focus on the diverse and breathtaking animals of Southern Africa.
From the majestic rhino of the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve to the elusive leopards of the Kruger National Park, I strive to capture the essence of these creatures in their natural habitat. Through my lens, I aim to tell their stories, showcasing the raw beauty, power, and vulnerability of the natural world.
Photography is more than just a hobby for me—it is a way to connect with nature, inspire conservation efforts, and share the wonder of wildlife with others. Whether it’s the golden light of dawn illuminating a lion’s mane or the delicate details of a bird in flight, I am constantly seeking those moments that take your breath away.
Join me on this journey as I explore the untamed landscapes of Southern Africa, one frame at a time.

Wildlife/Nature Photography
Traveling with my husband and daughter while capturing the beauty of the natural world is a dream come true. My dream is for my photography passion to be turned into a way of life, documenting breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters as we explore together. Whether it’s a quiet moment between a mother elephant and her calf or the golden hues of an African sunset, each shot tells a story that I’m honored to share. This journey is not just about photography—it’s about experiencing the world as a family, embracing adventure, and preserving the wild through my lens.
Event Photography
Thanks to my husband’s work as a sound engineer, I found myself unexpectedly photographing a music festival—an entirely different world from my usual wildlife shoots. At first, I wasn’t sure how my nature-focused eye would translate to the energy of live music, but the vibrant atmosphere, raw emotions, and dynamic lighting quickly turned it into an exciting challenge. Capturing musicians lost in their craft, the crowd’s electric energy, and the beautiful moments of connection reminded me that photography is all about storytelling, no matter the subject. What started as an unexpected opportunity became a fun and inspiring shoot filled with incredible people, proving that sometimes the best experiences come when you step outside your comfort zone.
Personal Photography
Photography is a deeply personal and spiritual practice for me, a way to capture the energies that flow through my life as a psychic medium. I am drawn to the natural world, where I find reflections of the unseen—sunlight filtering through leaves, the stillness of water, the quiet wisdom in an animal’s eyes. My personal photography often intertwines with my spiritual practices, incorporating crystals, oracle cards, and sacred symbols to create visual representations of intuition and energy. A rose quartz bathed in morning light, an oracle card spread laid upon the earth, or a candlelit altar beneath the moon—all these moments hold deep meaning, allowing me to translate the spiritual into something tangible, something seen and felt through the lens.
Live event photography is an exhilarating experience, filled with raw emotion, fast-paced energy, and unforgettable moments. Capturing the passion of performers, the excitement of the crowd, and the unique atmosphere of each event is both a challenge and a thrill. Every shot tells a story—whether it’s a musician lost in their craft, a dancer mid-motion, or the shared joy of an audience. The spontaneity of live events keeps me on my toes, making every shoot a dynamic and rewarding adventure.
