I have known Alex for years, since we were in Primary School. She has been best friends with my sister since they were both about 8 years old. When I was doing my undergraduate degree in Launceston, Alex and I lived together. We’ve been through a fair bit together really. The fun and stress of being uni student flatmates, all the random things that life throws up at you when you least expect it, she has always been there.

Alex is a gentle soul, she is so sweet and kind. She is funky and strong, independent, courageous, loving, funny and intelligent. I could write pages about how much I adore her and all her wonderful qualities. I won’t though, instead I hope that you can see her beautiful personality shining through her photos.

I was so excited when I pulled Alex’s name out as the winner for the giveaway at my relaunch. It was really awesome being able to connect with a friend in a different way, as photographer and muse. It is a whole different experience to just a normal catch up with a friend. The camera between us changes the dynamics in a lot of ways. We had so much fun though, it was a really great morning!

I hope you enjoy the images!
