Insider Newsletter

Catch up on the latest news and past editions of the GC Insider newsletter, your little dose of all things Gold Coast. From locals we love to insider tips and discoveries worth sharing, consider me your local hype girl, celebrating the people and places that make our coast so special.

LATEST EDITION

The rain finally gave us a break, I made it back to swim club and suddenly everyone’s talking Christmas. This week, I’m sharing a peek behind the scenes of our biggest shoot yet with Elly from Goddess and the Tiger, what we learnt about using Claude with Her Intelligence Social, and a little milestone for Gold Coast Insider. Our combined reach has hit 17k, and we’ve now got Insiders out covering local events. So, if you’re flat out like me, maybe take a minute this weekend to actually enjoy what you’ve pulled off before diving into the next thing.

Catch up on past editions

This edition is all about hidden spots, local talent and a little inspiration close to home. We’re shining a light on artist Kim McDonald in Locals We Love, heading a little further south to the Tweed for the Entwined exhibition, and sharing some tucked-away places worth discovering. You’ll also find a reminder of how we can work with you to bring your projects to life, while supporting the local creatives who make our community so special. Grab a cuppa, settle in and enjoy a little local discovery!

What a feelgood few weeks! From capturing the care and connection at Aspire Wellness Hub to photographing Move Over Mama’s joyful charity event, which raised an incredible $50,000 for Act for Kids, I’ve loved sharing the stories of people making a difference. In this edition, you’ll also find my $400 brand and lifestyle mini shoot offer, available until year’s end, plus my Foodie Guide for summer catchups, long lunches and visiting friends. Grab a cuppa (or a cocktail) and enjoy!

In this edition, I’m sharing a little spring sunshine and some wonderful locals, from the team at Astill Cronin Lawyers to Kellie North at Studio 8. Plus, a heartfelt afternoon capturing Be There Foundation’s inaugural Rolling Lunch, supporting people affected by domestic violence on the Gold Coast. Enjoy the read.

Let’s create something together

Whether you’re a local business, venue, family or planning an event, I’d love to capture your people, place and story. Based on the Gold Coast, I photograph food, brands, portraits and special occasions with a relaxed, natural approach.

We’ll start with a quick chat about what you have in mind, then plan the location, timing and style of your shoot.

You’ll receive a collection of professionally edited images, ready to share and enjoy.
