Documentary Photography
Four years ago I married the love of my life and, in doing so, also fell in love with the art of documentary photography. My husband and I knew we wanted our wedding day to be a celebration centered around love, friendship, family, and food and that, as much as we wanted the day to be captured through photographs, we didn't want intrusive photography... so we set out to find the perfect photographer who could fulfill our wishes. In our search, we came across the work of David Ryan and ...

Share Your Breastfeeding Story
Most stories can’t be told all in one go. Rather, they are built bit by bit, piece by piece - gaining meaning and depth though their unfolding. The same can be said for our breastfeeding stories. While there may appear to be a clear start, is there ever really a clear end? The act of providing breast milk to one’s child may cease, but the love and benefits of every drop remain. I endeavour to pass down a legacy, one that was handed to me and one that I hope will last ...

Living in a Beautiful State
The other day I was on my way to pick my husband up from the train station and recognised that I was in need of a change... not in my relationship, of course, but in my state of being. I was feeling some mixture of frustration and irritation (looking back now, I couldn’t even tell you why). In instances like these, old me would have been looking for the quickest way to get home, the quickest way to distract myself, or the quickest way to release my frustration on those around me... but, ...

There is Beauty in the Mundane
The other morning I was sitting in traffic, just outside a busy primary school, when I was brought to tears. I saw what millions of us have probably seen time and time again, but this time was different for me. I saw a father close his driver side door, walk around to the other side of his car and take his daughter’s hand in preparation to cross the street. What was it about this scene that moved me so deeply? I can’t seem to put my finger on one particular segment of that ...
