When I was little I had a friend called Helen. I was visiting one day and Helen’s mother said to me, ‘Hello Miss Beth‘. I have had several unrelated, lifelong friends who also spontaneously and affectionately called me ‘Miss Beth‘.
They all see ‘that special something’ in me, that I do not see in myself, that manifests in that name.
The name has stuck, and I’ve decided to lead with it.
I trained in photography in the late 1990s in Melbourne, Australia. My initial start was weddings, then travel, family portraiture and lastly educating camera enthusiasts and business photography. I self-published two books during that period.
Although my foundation was photography, over time I noticed my compulsion and natural ability to read-between-the-lines and work with people to capture the deeper message, feeling or intent.
I am proud of all my photography achievements and creations, and most of all, my natural ability to ‘go there’ with people, into the deeper, real stuff beneath the surface.
My awakening journey kicked a gear in 2015 and by 2018 I found myself suddenly leaving Melbourne and flying headlong into my inner world of change. In 2020 I dragged myself through my last photography shoot. After much deliberation I closed the business in 2022.
2018-2025 was a trust fall of dark night of the soul, over and over and over again. I learned about how I am the creator, about releasing fear, shame, guilt, judgement, generational blocks, inner child trauma, healing the nervous system (et al) and ultimately becoming the lotus flower that emerges from the mud. Everything came under the microscope from relationships, to money, to my health. By releasing the blocks and bullshit that was creating the undesirable outcomes I gathered speed moving into higher possibilities and more beneficial results.
Truth was always the bedrock, it still is.
The question now is not how can I photograph you, but rather, do you see what I see?
I now assist emergent and established business owners to take their vision to the next level.
My role is to reflect back to you what you already know – you just can’t seem to hit it, even though you know it’s there. Sometimes we just need some help seeing our blind spots and letting go of the blocks that stop it from happening.
That you are here now on this page at this specific moment is timely and magical. If you’re feeling it, I’d love to help you.
