What others say...

  • “As an artist of Australiana, I often depend on good photos of Australian wildlife for my silk painting. Not only does Kathie provide brilliant photos, but her ability to capture the strength of colour and indeed the idiosyncacies of the various wild life, is something special.”

    Barbara Gabogrecan, President, Home Based Business Australia

  • “I have known Kathie for many years and she has a habit of working hard and succeeding in whatever she puts her hand to. Firstly, as Australia’s leading Virtual Assistant, as an author of Worth More Than Rubies and now as a photographer. Her photography beautifully captures the essence of the Dandenongs and the wildlife that exist in the region. Her passion and pursuit of excellence are once again shining through.”

    Stuart Campbell

  • “Kathie is an amazing photographer She exhibits incredible patience to get the right shot. Her creativity knows no bounds, and she can be dramatic or subtle – depending on the subject. I highly recommend Kathie in any capacity!”
