"When I laid my eyes back on you, I knew this was where I was meant to be"

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to move away from home. I always felt that inner desire to wander elsewhere. So the minute I could leave, that's exactly what I did. It wasn't until a decade later due to unforeseen circumstances that I arrived home to the motherland. I returned a little bit lost and deflated. So I decided to take some time exploring my backyard and this is when everything changed.

This collection is what took me on a journey of rediscovery and reconnection. Not just with the place I hadn't seen in so long and the people I'd missed so much but more importantly, with myself. Through returning home, I simultaneously found my two biggest passions and what I wanted to pursue in life. These images represent the journey of re learning who I am and where I want to be. I hope they inspire others to create the space to figure out their dreams, and go for them, whatever they may be!

Return to Reconnect

Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand. 

The one. This image was the first image taken after I'd received news that a close family member had passed. I was standing in this exact spot, tripod and camera all ready and set up. The peak of Aoraki, Mount Cook was covered in a small amount of cloud at the time. I received the phone call and within a few minutes of hanging up the phone the cloud just completely dissipated. It became one of the most surreal and hardest moments combined. This image is what came out of that state of mind. 

Love and Loss.
