Hello! I am Peta. A daydreamer, Mother to 2 beautiful girls, story-teller and creative, natural light photographer, living a very blessed life in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland – Gubbi Gubbi Country, Queensland {Australia}. I live life with intense passion and a philosophy of gratitude. I am a lover of nature, golden sunsets, nostalgia and adventure. I look for the wonder in each and every day, and feel immense joy in capturing fleeting moments that may otherwise not be seen, felt, or fully-celebrated. I believe imagery helps us to connect to the beauty that surrounds us. And to create precious memories. I endeavour to capture the beauty in the ordinary. Moments of truth. Images that make you feel. That take you back… to a precious, never-to-be-repeated moment in time.
Perceptiveness, gentleness and creativity are in my nature, and come naturally to me in my work. I enjoy making people feel at ease. Helping them to share the beautiful parts of themselves that they may not otherwise reveal.
My style is honest, raw and gentle. My inspiration comes from nature, and the special bonds I have with the beautiful humans I share this lifetime with – my girls, my beloved friends and community. It is an incredible honour to step into somebody’s world for a short time to create a photograph. I have upmost respect for the vulnerability that comes with this. This is how I approach my work. I believe that life is truly wonderful, and have an intense desire to document it. All of it. As it unfolds.
It would be an honour to help document your life through images. I would love to hear from you x
