Hey there! I’m Robert and it is SO nice to meet you! I’d love to tell you my story.

I was born and grew up in Coffs Harbour, NSW until the age of 9. In December of 2005, my family moved down to Bendigo, and honestly, I’m SO glad they did. Bendigo is where my life really took off and became what it is today!

Photography has always been a passion as I grew up, and it all started when a family friend let me hold their DSLR camera for the first time. Since that very moment, I KNEW I had to get one and start taking photos!

My first official wedding was booked in March of 2013. Back then I just loved taking photos, but I wouldn’t have considered myself a ‘professional photographer’ by any means! As time went on, other parts of my life started to become a priority for me, especially my teaching degree at Uni. For many years, my photography equipment laid there, barely touched. Until one day I came across a photography educator on YouTube, and she instantly made me want to pick up my camera body again and start shooting.

Well, since then I invested in quality education, started practising what I had learned and that has led me to where I am today. A person with a passion for photography who loves capturing moments that turn into memories.

Letting you into my life is a big part of who I am! My goal is to help you feel like a close friend so that you know who I am and what you’re getting from me!

Anna and I met at our local church when I moved to Bendigo back in 2005. The first few years were a bit rocky…I was annoying, and she didn’t care very much about me! But slowly, our friendship grew and grew until we knew that we were meant to be together. We both decided to wait until we finished school to start dating, and then we were off! 6 months later we were engaged, and 8 months later we were married! How crazy is that!? We were engaged for longer than we were dating!

But anyways. In January 2016, we said “I DO” and life couldn’t be sweeter! At least, that’s what we thought.

In October 2022, we met our beautiful girl Amelia. She’s energetic, full of smiles, waves at EV-ERY-ONE and is a pure joy and delight for us both!

Then in January of 2025, we welcomed our little man, Matthew. What can I say, he’s just like his sister. If you’re ever having a bad day, his smiles and giggles will brighten you right up!
