She has 19 years experience as a professional photographer running family photography studios. She is also an AIPP Accredited Professional Photographer. Jaya loves to make sure she captures the real you in the picture and she goes above and beyond with her planning efforts to create a very personalised result.

Or you may just be thinking in terms of creating some new wall art for your family. If you own a camera and like to make portraits this is for you. Our meeting will start at 7.15 pm and the presentation will commence at 7.30 pm. |

Photography is a powerful visual storytelling tool often underestimated by many.
As a medium and in it’s purest form, it possesses the ability to prescribe desire, joy, sadness or pain.
An image is potent enough to change the world’s view in an instant.
