My name is unfortunately not IRIS!! Lol!!

So I named my biz after the flower from a number of dreams and signs that I had from God and the word FAITH comes from my faith in God!

IRIS FAITH Photography was a creative decision that was slowly developed and realised along my journey of faith and trust in the Lord.

To be honest, I never thought I would ever be a photographer! I had a passion for architecture, horse riding and swimming when I was a kid - using a camera was something only my father loved to do. He was always with a camera taking photos of me as a child!  

My other passion was art, drawing and painting! I had a real creative streak to myself that even amazed me at times. Photography always scared me. Cameras was a scary thing that was technically too difficult for me to comprehend. 

Over the years, I felt my heart draw me towards the creative, which I knew God was calling me into. Little did I know, what He had in store for me in the future.

I began to explore different mediums, I started to experiment taking snaps with my phone of scenery, flowers, trees, cityscapes etc and placing scripture verses or quotes on the photos to encourage people. I even started an etsy shop selling my prints. I bought my first "proper" camera - an old DSLR Canon 50D with no idea how to use it properly. Yes, never used it out of auto mode until one day I met this awesome girl who was a professional photographer who shared with me the basics of using manual mode in a way that I could really understand. It was so easy!

From there, I researched more about manual settings and it all just fell together so nicely and since then have never looked back, I've been photographing people and weddings for nearly 3 years now and I just love it!

i love coffee, dark chocolate, cheesecake, bushwalking, movies, lying on the couch watching Bull, Blue Heelers or some other Crime show...
