It taught me to dream big, appreciate the little things, and find the beauty in the obsolete.
Rural Australia is my home, and even after travelling to over 24 countries around the world, this is where my heart yearns to be. Deep in the Outback, Covered in Dust, Barefoot and Free.
Growing up in this space made me who I am today, and gave me a deep respect for rural Australia.
So from that point onward, photography and videography became more important to me than ever. If I hadn’t had taken it up, I wouldn’t have captured the memories of my beautiful Mumma, Therese, that I hold close to my heart today and forever.
Since her passing I feel so completely drawn to document life itself in Rural Australia, the lives of others with those they love, and assisting small and large businesses to pursue their passions and reach their goals. I know how it goes in Rural Areas of Australia, where time flies, and we’re always busy. We always say “we don’t have time” or “maybe next time”. This I promise to you; we are going to make the time.
Let’s tell your story. Let’s prioritise experiences and creating memories. Lets create life-long lasting memories that authentically preserve everything that is YOU. Every milestone, every event, every new beginning, no matter how big or how small.
When my Father, Gavin, passed away, I was twelve years of age, and it was during this time in my life where I understood the importance of time. The time that we have here on earth is so incredibly precious. In the years before my Fathers passing, taking photos wasn’t very prominent. As the months went by my memory began to slowly fade, and all I ever wanted was more photos and videos of him, so I could see his face, see his smile and hear his voice.
Won’t lie, I also like to watch a little bit of Yellowstone; just a little bit. More than anything, I love being with those I love most, my family. I love them wholeheartedly, they’re the most important pieces of my puzzle.
With the passing of my Father Gavin in 2010, I felt drawn to the symbolism of the wide brim felt hat that he wore day in, day out. When he was beneath the brim of that hat he could accomplish anything. He was fearless, confident, strong, respected, valued and so much more. It is my intended tribute to my Father to name my business after him, as I have a strong belief that I can achieve anything from beneath it. So the business became; Beneath The Brim.
