Wild Wattle Photography

Kirrily, Director of Wild Wattle, says she has always had a love for photography and capturing memories. From making embarrassing home movies with her friends as a kid to documenting family holidays with her Dad's old camera.

The years go by, and memories fade, and looking back through photos can bring it all back; even the emotions you felt at the time. That’s why she loves photography so much. In an instant, you can be back in the moment reliving the memories, almost like travelling through time.

And it’s not just the memories that she loves to capture, but it’s the people too. Kirrilly truly loves getting to know people, hearing their stories and working with them to create some amazing photos. There’s nothing better than starting a session with hesitant or nervous clients and helping them feel comfortable and relaxed enough to show their true personalities; and have a whole lot of fun at the same time.
