Sally grew up in Richmond and went to school at Blackheath & Thornburgh College.
In 1991 she married “a bloke with an SLR camera”. She started exploring photography with a desire to take a decent photo of her first baby, but quickly became obsessed with learning “all the cool inner workings of an SLR camera.”
Soon she was photographing everything she could, much to the dismay of her children and family- often getting in the way when they were trying to move the cattle.
In 2014, Sally was asked to photograph her niece Nell’s wedding. “It was completely terrifying. While I bloody loved my camera and had spent years being the family photographer, nothing could prepare me for the scare-the-shit-out-of-you pressure and responsibility of capturing someone’s Most Important Day,” she said.
But the success of those photos gave Sally the courage to take on photography professionally. “That was the beginning of my wedding photography journey, an intense, fun, rewarding, scary-as-hell, fulfilling and transformative journey. It unleashed a creative part of me that I didn’t even know I had, it made me take myself on like I never had the guts to do before and it allowed for this fantastic opportunity to make a difference. There is no reward greater than knowing I have delivered images that my couples and their families can truly fall in love with.”
When Sally isn’t shooting or editing a wedding she loves to spend time in her garden or hang out with family. She is addicted to coffee, makes a mean curry and loves her cats Binx & Chew.
