About me..

For me it all started when…. I can’t even remember. My Dad has owned a vintage Willy’s Jeep since before I was born and growing up, the highlight of my year was participating in Adelaide’s Bay to Birdwood Run. I guess something about that really inspired a love of vintage cars and fashion in me.

Fond childhood memories of vintage car adventures, soon led me to the world of rockabilly music and Kustom Kulture where, at the tender age of 14 I begged my parents to let me go to a Living End concert and then the SA Kustom Kulture Weekender later that year. It was a blast and I was set. Rockabilly forever.

Fast forward to now and I take regular requests to shoot for local photographers, have been published in international pinup and car publications and attend and organise pinup events regularly. It seems crazy to me now but this is the life I once dreamed of. I used to spend hours on the Pinupgirl Clothing website, pouring over pictures of Sabina Kelley, Heidi Van Horne, Bernie Dexter and Musuimi Max. I dreamed of one day being just like them.

If you love pinup and vintage car culture, rockabilly music and rock n roll, rockabilly or swing dancing, then you’re in the right place. Please take a look around and don’t forget to drop me a line on my social media, I am always keen to hear from you and I do my best to respond!
