I’m coming home, and bringing my camera with me.
This in-person workshop is something special: a two day immersive experience nestled in the quiet beauty of the Dandenong Ranges, where the forest smells like eucalyptus and tree-ferns unfurl like something out of a dream.

Together, we’ll explore the art of soulful, storytelling pet photography, blending theory, shooting, and editing into a weekend that’s as creative as it is connective.

There will be 6 working spots for those who want to get hands-on with your camera…

And unlimited auditing spots for those who want to come along, watch, take notes, observe, and learn


✨ What to Expect:

  • 3–4 hours of theory on style, light, location, storytelling, and posing

  • Two guided photo sessions in beautiful natural bushland

  • One long editing session, walking through my full process and giving you time to work with guidance

  • Warm connection with like-minded photographers in a relaxed, supportive space

We’ll embrace the unique beauty of the Australian bush and focus on creating images that feel like something – magical, thoughtful, emotional, or soft. This isn’t just about taking pretty pictures. It’s about learning to see, to feel, and to express through your work.


📍 Location: Mt. Dandenong / Montrose, exact venue TBC
