When i played competitive netball

…throughout the 1980s and 1990s, my mum only owned an old film SLR. Team photos were rare, and many of those memories weren’t captured the way I wish they had been. That experience is why I’m passionate about photographing sports clubs today—creating professional images that go far beyond quick sideline snapshots, so every player, every team, and every club moment is preserved beautifully.

With over 10 years of experience photographing sports clubs across the Blue Mountains and Greater Western Sydney, I’ve built a deep understanding of what clubs, players, and families value most. From community-based teams to large, multi-grade organisations, I bring both experience and care to every photo day.

From brand-new, wide-eyed juniors stepping onto the field for the first time, to seasoned players who’ve dedicated years to their sport, I work with athletes at every stage of their journey. I proudly photograph players of all abilities, ensuring every individual feels seen, included, and valued. I photograph boys and girls, women and men, across all divisions—from grassroots teams through to higher grades and competitive squads, including masters teams who continue to show that passion for the game never fades.

A club is more than just its players. I also photograph the people who make it all happen—managers, trainers, runners, ball boys and girls, canteen staff, and committee members. Every role matters, and everyone deserves to be recognised as part of the club’s story.

This year, I’m excited to introduce a fresh approach to portrait photography. Individual player images will feature custom-designed backgrounds that reflect your club’s colours and identity, creating a stronger visual connection to your team. I’m also adding individual player names directly to portrait images, giving each athlete a professional, personalised finish they’ll be proud to keep.

Working with sports clubs requires more than just a camera—it demands organisation, efficiency, and a calm, professional approach. Whether it’s a small netball or soccer/football organisation, or a large rugby club with multiple grades and hundreds of players, I bring a streamlined process that ensures photo days run smoothly from start to finish.

I understand the logistics of large volumes, tight schedules, and the importance of clear communication with club coordinators, coaches, and players. My goal is simple: deliver high-quality images with minimal disruption while creating a positive, enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

At the end of the day, these aren’t just photos—they’re memories of a season, a team, and a shared love of the game.
