23.01.2022 2021 CAT CALENDARS STILL AVAILABLE! <3 $25 each +postage (will be determined when stock comes in) or pickup from Mayfield 2304. This is only a batch of 50 calendars, with only approximately 15 calendars still available. ... I am still waiting on the printing company to send through the order, so as soon as stock comes in I will message those who have paid and arrange postage or pickup. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THESE CALENDARS ARE A BATCH HAPPILY DONE BY ME AS WE ARE NO LONGER A FUNCTIONING RESCUE DUE TO CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES - ALL CALENDARS PREVIOUSLY PRINTED SPECIFICALLY TO SUPPORT THE CATS HAVE ALL BEEN SOLD. AS A RESULT, DUE TO CURRENT PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES EARNINGS WILL GO TO ME (SURGERY AND VET BILLS), AS SUPPORTED BY FELLOW RESCUERS, FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS. Thank you all for your support and understanding - I will update you as things change

23.01.2022 I hope that soon I will be able to snap from more wild koala photos locally - I did spot a koala on Sunday at the Tilligerry Habitat in Port Stephens, although at quite a distance. These shots were taken at Mikkira Station outside of Port Lincoln, South Australia in 2013. I kid you not, in about 1.5 hours we saw over 20 individual wild koalas - it was incredible! I highly recommend you visit Mikkira Station on your South Australian travels.

20.01.2022 Good evening everyone! I am hoping to soon get my 2021 Dogs A4 Calendar printed in a batch of only 25 to start off with. Price will be $25 each (includes high quality printing) and approximately $4 postage per calendar. Pickup will be available from Mayfield.... Who is keen to get one? I want to try and get at least 15 people, or 15 copies shown interest before I pop the order through. :D <3

19.01.2022 Mr. Lonnie in a silhouette shot at Redhead Beach <3

19.01.2022 Who's taken the time out to go koala spotting recently? Hopefully I will track down some more local wild koalas soon :) <3 This shot is of a wild koala at Mikkira Station, Port Lincoln, South Australia.

19.01.2022 Look at this little stunner...! <3

19.01.2022 My single image "Rakali Encounter" has been shortlisted in Photographer of the Year 2020 in the Photo of the Year category. Further results will be received in late January 2021 Featuring: Rakali (native water rat, otherwise known as Australia's otter equivalent).

18.01.2022 Stunning Hunter, the first husky I had the opportunity to shoot <3

16.01.2022 Puppies galore! <3

16.01.2022 It's a baby boy! :D <3

15.01.2022 2021 marks 6 years since I traveled solo and stepped foot onto the Antarctic continent at the mere age of 20.... 6 years since my most significant dream came true after 1.5 years of saving and buying appropriate gear to finally make the trip real, and about a decade of dreaming <3

15.01.2022 Stunning Jellybean <3 I'd never seen a cat with such striking markings until this beauty! I'm proud to say this shot received a Commended Award in the Australian Photography Magazine's 2019 Photographer of the Year competition early this year.

14.01.2022 This beautiful old girl has lived a long and happy life with her mumma and this very sudden shoot was both a celebration and a somber remembrance session that I was very grateful to be a part of <3

13.01.2022 My "Newcastle Wildlife" portfolio that has been shortlisted in Photographer of the Year 2020 in the Wildlife & Animal category. Further results will be received in late January 2021 :D Featuring: Glaucus, humpback whale, rakali and kangaroo.

12.01.2022 I've said it many times before - this beautiful girl's eyes always shock me - they're like nothing I've seen before! <3

12.01.2022 My sister's Shih Tzu cross chihuahua, Poppy <3

12.01.2022 One of my absolute favourite shots from Redhead Beach since I started using it as my main shoot location <3 Who's up for more shoots when it finally stops raining again?

11.01.2022 Oldie but a goodie - the stunning rose bush that used to arch over the driveway gate at home <3

11.01.2022 Check this little sweetheart out! :D <3

10.01.2022 One of my absolute favourite moments I've captured over the last 18 months, not long after I got directly involved with cat rescue <3

09.01.2022 My "Breakwall Cats" portfolio has been shortlisted in Photographer of the Year 2020 in the Wildlife & Animal category. Further results will be received in late January 2021 Featuring: Simba, Charlie, Simba & Nala and Rhaegal.

09.01.2022 A comparison between a photo of a stray kitten in a bush taken almost a decade ago, and a shot taken in August 2019 that received a Commended Award in Photographer of the Year 2019... Years of practice is starting to pay off! :D

08.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Hopefully when this rain eventually clears up we can start to book some more shoots, even at a few different locations. All of my editing from every shoot previously in the last 6 weeks is almost 100% finished - which is quite a significant milestone for me as I've never had so many people book in such a small time frame before, so a big thank you to everyone who has booked so far and given me the opportunity to capture their families, both human and ...furbabies. Let's have a wonderful, photo filled 2021! :D <3

07.01.2022 Good morning everyone, Just an update with both the 2021 Breakwall Cat & 2021 Dogs calendars - I have been in contact with the printing company and there is a delay at the moment which I hope will be resolved soon and they can be on their way as unfortunately it has caused things to lag. Rest assured I am not happy personally with the length of time this has taken, given that I placed the Dogs calendar order before Christmas, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do to m...ove things along. Once the calendars finally arrive, I'll be in contact with those who have already pre-ordered, but for those who would still like a copy of either calendar, please comment below and I'll be in touch! <3 Price: $25 each + postage, or pickup from Mayfield.

06.01.2022 A simple and fun Christmas shoot I did last year <3

06.01.2022 Such a beautiful family - I feel so grateful and privileged to have been able to take their first family photos, and I feel even more so right now since Covid has caused so much havoc for everyone this year in many ways. Bringing joy to people through capturing their memories is such a privilege <3

06.01.2022 Sweet little Gracie in her new home <3

05.01.2022 Beautiful Bengal Boy <3

04.01.2022 Another stunning sweetheart <3

04.01.2022 I cannot wait until February 2021 - I am keen to know if I have achieved a better placing in the 2020 Photographer of the Year than I did in the 2019 competition. I have never been very competitive, however, as the years have gone by I am now keen to pursue winning some photography awards! :)

04.01.2022 I visited the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary last Saturday when it opened to the public and spotted quite a few koalas sleeping in the trees. Definitely recommend it! :)

04.01.2022 With about 3 hours left of 2020, I figured now would be the best time to highlight some of the best moments of this year, despite the shockingly different and scary year it was for us all. Here's to a hopefully happier, safer, healthier, more successful and less teary 2021 <3

04.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone, Dogs 2021 calendars have been ordered. Please message or comment if you're interested in buying one :)

03.01.2022 Some of the most beautiful things are the simplest <3

03.01.2022 Flash back to the very end of May when my efforts in cat rescue and love for cats unexpectedly brought me close to the adorable and smart rakali (native water-rats) that also live on the breakwall. I am still astounded that I captured and got to experience such a moment! They're now one of my favourite animals :D <3

03.01.2022 Had a wonderful day today at Tilligerry - we got to see a Satin Bowerbird on a couple of occasions and the bower he'd made, as well as a very loud and vocal koala! Hopefully I can get back soon to see what else I can see (especially now that I am convinced that last week I saw my first Bandicoot!). Love this place! :D <3

02.01.2022 A bluebottle in the fading light in Jervis Bay <3

01.01.2022 More Satin Bowerbird photos! I was stalking what I thought was an echidna in the dense undergrowth and ended up going back the way I'd come after my phone rang and scared whatever it actually was deeper into the bush. Only a few minutes later I was head down bum up on the boardwalk as I tried to capture this Satin Bowerbird, his mate and bower :D <3
