Botanical Photography

Wildflower season is a time you will find me on all of the local trails. Wallum and heath communities are my favourite, playing host to a rich diversity of plants and pollinators. I started using photography to help in my art process, but macrophotography soon became its own art form.

If you love something you see here, visit my online store or email me.
