Since a child I have always loved the arts. I always loved Film and Television at school and thats were I found my love for photography. Although it wasn't until two years ago I saved up and bought myself a nikond90 DSLR and have not been able to put it down. I drive my family crazy having to stop and take photographs on family outings. My husband can't understand my obsession and my two little boys get so annoyed with me, always taking photographs of them.
Friends starting asking for portraits and I had been asked to do a few weddings so I decided to start a small business. I was working aswell at a retial store but not long after opening Divine Photography I had to give up my day job. It has been an absolutle whirlwind and everything has gone so fast. Don't get me wrong its fabulous. I finally have a chance to live out my dream and here I am. Pinch me? Nope its not a dream.
In my gallery you'll notice alot of newborn photographs, I get asked to these alot, I don't know what it is but I love every single one of these little miracles I meet. I've been clucky since the age of 10. haha. and I still am and always will be. Ido have two of my own though they keep me on my toes enough.I love shooting newborns though and I really do think these are my best works for some reason maybe because I enjoy it so much. I feel quite privallaged i guess. Its such a special time in the parents lives..
I have a few goals in life
no1. To get an old caravan, do it up all larey and travel around rural australia. I would love to be able to offer people who don't have opportunity to get nice photogrphs done! Plus all the beautiful scenery aswell.(thats just the bonus of living in a unique country I guess)
No2.
Create a portfolio on all the different things in the world people,scenery, religion, poverty everything you could possibly think of.
These are just what I hope to do in the future, maybe one day I can do these things, I like to keep them written down because I like to keep my dreams close by.

Is just so proud to be an Aussie at the moment. The central Queensland area were I live has been in flood for the past few weeks. I have been stuck out here in Gracemere (about 10 minutes away from rockhampton) for the past week and they expect the roads to be opened in another week. Tonight they are having an appealon tx and I'm just so overwhelmed how much we support each other. Its just so levely to see. I'm just so PROUD!

Had to get my eyes tested yesterday as I gave been getting headaches and migrains for the past few weeks. Looks like I won't be taking photographs for a while as they have discovered that I have inflamtion on the optic disc at the back of my eye. I will have to get cat scans done so I'm a little worried. my main concern is photography. What a dampener on my day...
