Shutterbug Walkabouts Tasmania

Sitting by the birdbath, camera at the ready, comes with so many rewards.

In stillness, the breeze shifts through the trees and the sound of birds chirping is a peaceful thing… then, in an instant, everything changes. Wings lift, energy builds and you can feel the moment about to unfold. In that swift moment, camera up and shutter clicks! 🦅📷

It’s this balance of waiting and responding that makes bird photography so rewarding – learning to recognise when something is about to happen, not just after it does.

I’ll be exploring this and more in my bird photography workshops this May. There are still a few places available for those who feel drawn to spend time in these kinds of moments.

I’ve done a rather silly human thing while guiding a recent tour.

What does this mean exactly? Well… for the moment I’m paused by a moon boot because I broke an ankle! 😩
The good news is that I'm told it'll be a relatively straightforward recovery and I’ll be back soon, with workshops already being rescheduled and seated tuition sessions remaining available.

A brief update including what it means for upcoming experiences is over on the blog - find it via the comments.

🎤 In the meantime, tune into ABC Hobart at 7.50am tomorrow (Saturday 14th March) to listen to a little conversation I'll be having with Mel Bush about bird photography.

Are you a female photographer longing for a few calm days with your camera along the vivid Bay of Fires coastline in north east Tasmania?

Well, you might just love this... 📸

Imagine three nights in the Bay of Fires region in Binalong Bay, luxe glamping at Bay of Fires Bush Retreat. Immerse in coastal light, vibrant colour and an assortment of textures of nature with your camera in hand. Here is a chance to slow down, photograph with intention and enjoy a purposeful balance between creative exploration and relaxation.

This experience is designed to give you space – to notice, to experiment and to immerse yourself in nature and photography. Curated guidance is provided throughout - helping you get to know your camera better and discover some new photography techniques in a supportive unhurried way.

If this sounds like your kind of escape, join me this May and catch the First Light earlybird bonus, available until mid February.

💫I’d love to welcome you along to connect with like-minded women, share experiences and create meaningful connections.

Are you looking to increase your nature-connection in 2026?

Well, you’ll love our Shoot With Me Photo Walks... a new focus for a new year 📸✨

If you enjoy being out in nature with your camera and interested in spending intentional unhurried time photographing alongside others - with whatever camera you have or wish to use - this is for you.

It's not a workshop
It's not a lesson or tuition session
It's not a course

It's a relaxed photo walk in nature, designed to restore and nurture your inner shutterbug.

Shoot With Me Photo Walks are held on the last Sunday of each month. The inaugural walk is on Sunday 25th January and is open for bookings now.
