People with disabilities face numerous challenges in their daily lives. Service providers in the disability sector help these challenges by providing a range of support services and resources. But what’s the point of having these services if no one knows about them or can’t see images of what they are really like? Why spend time looking for generic stock images when you can have high quality, personalised images that represent YOUR brand and really show what makes you different to all the other NDIS service providers out there.

The disability sector is a vital part of our community, that’s why I am passionate about capturing positive, authentic, quality images that capture the true essence of what you do.

Prior to photography I worked as a physiotherapist for over 20 years!

Yes it is quite a leap from one career to another but there are many things in common with the two. Mainly being ….. connection! I have many years experience working with allied health, nursing, medical and NDIS providers in both public and private hospitals as well as home and community services. I know how to connect with professionals as well as with clients.

So why does that matter when it comes to photography?

It means “ I speak the language”. I understand what your services are about and how important it is to get natural, authentic images that show what YOU do and also give potential staff or clients an idea of what it is like to work with you or receive your service.

I truly believe that after 20 years of working with people my secret skill is the ability to “read the room!”. This can be crucial when working with clients with physical or mental disability. I am sensitive, caring and take time to make sure clients are comfortable when I am taking their photograph. I am acutely aware that I am entering their space. I ALWAYS ask if there is anyone that does not want their photo taken. I have a sense to know when I need to step back and also when to get involved and get people having fun in the moment.

Because I understand your services, I can also help brainstorm some ideas for great photographs. Sometimes it’s just about story telling. I know the types of images you may need and can help create the scenarios to make that happen.
