CURRENT MISSION

To bring up two happy children and experience as much in life as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mother of two children (currently 10 and 9 years old) so I'm pretty busy. Before I became a mother I travelled quite a lot, now I am settled back home in New Zealand and I hope the world will come to me!

I live with my husband John, two kids, and two cats in a house in the countryside with a large garden. Great for kids (and grown-ups) to explore! We are located about 8 minutes drive from the edge of Hamilton.

Besides photography I have a background in language teaching.

I have lived in France, US and Uzbekistan, where I worked for an international organisation.

I'm learning tango and salsa.

I love socialising but we're not party animals, especially now we have two young children. We've never been into heavy drinking... more into cafes and good conversations (and dancing).

My daughter is deaf so I have started learning New Zealand sign language and I'm very interested in Deaf culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind... instead of judging people who are different from you, try to understand... Communication is the key to everything :-)
