Our sweet Clifford had an incredible zest for life. We gave him the biggest of names, and he more than lived up to it.
He was an accomplished world traveler, an avid model, a devoted construction manager, NYC’s Chief of Sticks, my shadow, a friend to all, and forever a part of our family.
Celeste and I are heartbroken by his sudden passing. Every time we speak of him, we end up laughing and smiling — a reminder of the immense joy he brought to our lives.
We love you so much, Clifford. Almost as much as you loved hearing it was dinner time. ❤️🌈🐺
Late last year, I began restoring a natural creek — clearing invasive weeds, installing a dry creek bed, and bringing the surrounding bush back to life.
It was a labour of love, supervised by Clifford from a shady spot beneath the willow tree.
Those long days together were among our last.
Now, the creek carries his name. ❤️
Award winner, show stopper, memory maker.
@highclerefarm restoration has received praise from many, including receiving several awards at this years @hia_act_snsw@hia_au .
Dedicated conservation, regional craftsmanship and a deep respect for the heritage property has given new and lasting life to a hallmark building in the Yass region.
From lime-plastered walls to revived verandas, stables and formal gardens, the project brings historic grandeur into a new era as a luxurious private hire venue for accommodation and events. A timeless retreat revived for generations to come.

The mood struck to photograph my garden this morning. It’s been a labor of love over that past year with plenty of lessons along the way. Happy to report that it’s coming together.
BKA Architects recently approached me to photograph the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, and while this project was completed a few years back they wanted to highlight the lush landscape of the central path, various wayfinding signage, and the koala skywalk.

First Steps Count Child and Community Centre is a thriving community hub seamlessly integrated within the urban fabric of Taree. It offers a variety of activities and programs designed to support children and their families in a safe and welcoming environment.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this project for Austin McFarland Architects. From the final stages of construction to this year’s opening ceremony, it has been an absolute joy to work on. There is a palpable sense of joy, exuberance, and authenticity woven into the fabric of this place—whether through the skilled crafting of its design and construction or the beautiful artworks throughout by @ali.haigh . One can truly feel the care and attention to detail that have been infused into every aspect of the project.
It has been a treat to witness so many smiles each time I visit.

Documenting the progress of a street sensitive addition. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you can’t. Can’t get enough of the ceiling! 🤌🏼
