Hello!

I'm Michelle and I’m SO glad you found me :)

I live in Geelong, Victoria with my little family (two kids, two cats, a dopey ginger groodle, and two grown-ups who adore a good gin and still kiss in the kitchen).

If you’re romantic folk, sentimental folk, or deeply nostalgic folk, you are my people.

If you’re a collector of plants, a lover of love songs, if the right words will give you goosebumps and you’re a firm believer that a good cry can fix most things, we’d probably be friends.

I’m a Geelong family photographer who lives for capturing the beautiful, messy glory of the everyday. I’m also a poet, a writer, an educator, and a mama to two delicious ruffians. I’m obsessed with documenting life – with freezing time and preserving a record of now for the days and years and generations to follow.

My aspiration is to make art from the beautiful ordinary moments, so that over time, that which now seems mundane and routine will be remembered and cherished.

Long after the sleepless nights have ended and toys are no longer littering the living room floor, I intend for a record to live on – a story of love, belonging, connection. A rich and glorious tapestry.

A history, told in pictures.
