Gold Coast Photographer & Creative Director

Hey, I'm Samantha

★★★★★ Google Reviews · Repeat Clients · Interstate & International Clients

I’ve been behind the camera professionally for four years, after learning the foundations of photography from Kurt Tilse in Sydney.

Photography became the meeting place for everything I love:

  • Beautiful imagery & storytelling

  • Making women feel genuinely confident in front of the camera

  • Turning little ideas into something beautiful

  • And getting ridiculously excited about creating

Somewhere along the way, I fell completely in love with being behind the camera too.

A creative chameleon

Endlessly versatile · Creatively instinctive · Every shoot uniquely yours

My ADHD brain was practically made for creative work. Give me the tiniest spark of an idea and my mind starts running with it.

  • Your personality, brand or vision leads the shoot

  • I’ll help dream up concepts, locations, styling & little details

  • Soft & feminine or bold & editorial

  • Clean & commercial or colourful & playful

  • Intimate, unexpected or completely outside the box

Your images, unmistakably you. 🤍

What it feels like to shoot with me

Warm & relaxed · Thoughtfully directed · Uniquely you

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That's my job.

  • Guidance with posing, movement & angles

  • Stray hairs and outfit adjustments spotted

  • Light, little details and flattering angles watched constantly

  • Plenty of encouragement along the way

  • An unreasonable amount of excitement when we get the shot 😂

Beautiful photographs matter. But I want you to love creating them, too.

Who I love working with

Where I love getting creative

Personal brands · Businesses · Creators · And beautifully ordinary humans

If you have something you’d love to capture, create or bring to life, you’re in the right place.

Studios you book · Your Home or Office · Beaches · Emerald Lakes

We’ll shoot wherever on the Gold Coast suits the story we’re creating. 🤍

“Absolutely incredible experience!! I decided to go up a level and for my next project do the personal branding package. I got a text the same day of booking where we discussed my vision and plan for the shoot! Samantha was so supportive of my ideas and helped me execute them perfectly on the day. I felt so comfortable and she made sure I was happy with how all the photos were turning out. She also helped guide me with poses etc which was so helpful! The photos turned out amazing and I could not be happier with them. Super fast turnaround and the quality of the edits etc is perfect! 10/10 would recommend, will definitely be coming back ☺️”
