Kathy developed a passion for photography at an early age with the encouragement of her father who was a very keen photographer. She lived and worked on the Gold Coast for a while as a professional SCUBA Diving instructor and photographed her first wedding there about 16 years ago. Kathy’s Diving career then took her to live and work on several beautiful Island locations in QLD, Indonesia then to Cairns. These amazing places inspired and increased her love of photography and her profession started heading in a different direction. Kathy met her wonderful husband-to-be in Cairns and after 7 years they re-located to the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland in 2001. She lives with her husband Richard and daughter Maddison. After shooting weddings now for over 16 years, Kathy is specialising more in Family portraits. “These are such an important part of family life but all too often get overlooked. Kids grow so fast and change so much. It’s something that you shouldn’t just keep putting off – as my own family sadly found out – there isn’t always a ‘later’ option.”
