My name is Tahlia and if there was a support group for Photo-holics, I’d be there every week… showcasing my love for photos, getting inspo from the other Creatives… and probably eating chocolate brownies.

I don’t have many early memories that don’t involve some sort of creative pursuit; from pretending to be a mermaid, to choreographing dance duets with my sister (to Fool’s Garden, Lemon Tree), to playing “Photographer” on holidays with my pre-school best friend, who taught me how much some people enjoy being photographed. 

And then came the Silver Brick, it was 1998 and Mum just got a new camera, from that moment on I decided life was too beautiful not to be captured. (Unfortunately for Mum, she got the film developed and saw nothing but an entire film of macro shots of blades of grass.) I’ve had an affinity with beautiful things since, and because of this I have always had to have a camera (of sorts) in hand. (My sister says it’s because of my strong Venus energy in my birthchart…)

My love of photography was ‘officiated ‘ when I completed my Advanced Certificate in Digital Photography (2010-2012) & a Diploma in Digital Photography (2013) before setting sail and enjoying the Cruise Ship life of a Photographer in the Caribbean.

Since returning to land, I find myself drawn towards photographing children. Their essence is so visible through the lens, I believe its the closest us adults can get to capturing their fleeting innocence and shameless individuality. Well, that… and they are loads of fun to be around! 

Whilst my first love is photographing children, nothing compares to getting parents & family members (the furry variety too!), involved in shoots. The interactions and quirks between loved ones is nothing shy of a privilege for me to shoot. 

If natural, and relaxed is the style of photography you like, (Think* raw emotion, movement and personality by making use of natural light and minimal posing, focused on documenting your natural vibe and interactions) – I may just be your gal! 

Get in touch, let’s see what magic we can create!
