If you're a family, a group of friends, or anyone who likes getting out and exploring, adventure photography sessions might be just for you.
Let me join you while you explore, and I will capture the memories that might otherwise be missed or forgotten.
I've been hiking for many years, and I've really enjoyed sharing my love of exploring with my family.
Something I've learned when hiking with a young family is that kids are adventurous and inquisitive little explorers. When exploring with the family, we're often concentrating on helping them get to the next tree they need to look up, the next rock they need to inspect, or the next bug they need to chase. We're busy making sure everyone gets through the journey before the sun disappears and hopefully uninjured. More often than not we don't get a chance to capture those in between moments, the journey.
I started Adventure Photography to give you the chance to focus on time spent with family, and still capture the journey, as well as moments that would normally be missed.
It's very simple.
We arrange a date that you would like to have your adventure. You choose the location and the time.
I will meet you there. You begin your adventure, travel at your own pace, and I'll follow along.
Have fun and enjoy the day.
I'll be there to capture the special moments along the way.
It is up to you to select a location that is suitable for all participants abilities.
Know your group, everyone's skills are different, find a location suited to your least experienced member.
Research your location, know your route, and pack suitable supplies.
This is your journey, I'm here to capture your experience. I'm happy to help if needed, but I am not a tour guide.
I reserve the right to cancel the session at any time if I consider any behavior or situation to be unsafe to myself or anyone involved.
The QLD government parks and forest website is a great place to find and research hundreds of great trails to explore.
The QLD government parks and forest website also gives up to date information about park restrictions and closures, it's a good idea to always check it before you travel, just in case.
A user-supplied list of bushwalking and hiking tracks in Australia . It's great for getting first hand accounts from people about trails. Information doesn't come from any official source, so best used to give a general idea about a location.
It's essential to check the weather forecast before going on any outdoor adventure.

Q. Where will you travel to?
A. Up to 100kms (200km return) of travelling distance is included. I charge an additional $1 per/km for any extra distance needed.100km will cover most national parks south of Brisbane, and some to the North. Some of these parks include, Lamington, Springbrook, Main Range, Spring Mountain, and Mount Glorious.
Q. How long will you be with us?
A. As long as you need. 2 Hours of adventure time is included in your package and I charge an additional $20 per/30 minutes after that. 2 Hours will cover most basic trails. For locations that are known to be long hikes contact me and we can organise a custom package.
Q. When does the time start?
A. Time will begin from when we start moving.
Q. How do I know how long I will need?
A. This can be difficult and depends on many things. Research the location, most trails will have an approximate travel time. If not, the average adult hiking speed is around 3-4 km/h and can be used as a rough guide.
