About Me

Im not an award-winning photographer — yet — but what I bring to the lens can’t be measured in awards. I’m raw, real, and unapologetically me. Sarcasm is my second language, and my alternative edge is inked into my skin.

I’m basically a human mashup of Thundercats, metal riffs, and Lego bricks — with just a sprinkle of ADHD for that extra creative chaos. I live behind the camera like it’s my natural habitat, turning real, messy, beautiful moments into photos that actually mean something.

Im not polished, and that’s exactly the point. I’m authentic, and my work speaks volumes without needing to shout.

My clients? They don’t come to me for staged smiles or Instagram fluff. They come because they want something real, something that kicks. And I deliver — with edge, intention, and a hell of a lot of heart.

I’m not for everyone. But I’m everything to the ones who get it.

I tell stories.The messy, honest, beautiful kind. Come as you are.

Testimonials

We got married on the 5th April 2023, and planned our perfect intimate chilled wedding. From the very first meeting about the day Nic was amazing, really understood what we wanted, she's great craic and fabulous photos too! We could not recommend Nic at Red N Dead photography enough and would not have wanted anyone else to shoot our big day for memories to last a life time. Nothing too much trouble and she captured some amazing photos in the April showers too! Thank you Nic we will be forever thankful for your input on our big day. Mr and Mrs Morshead

If you want less traditional photos I'd absolutely recommend. Nic is super open and approachable about what you'd want and talks with about what you'd like. It was fun having her involved as I was getting ready with my bridesmaid's and from the pictures she's already sent I'm more than happy with them. She's really captured the day.

I have had a doggy photo shoot and a Maternity photo shoot. the Maternity one was with me and my partner at Glenridding. absolutely amazing had such a laugh making it, feel ease and not rushed kept asking if we were happy and what else we would like. really captured the moment we got sent a couple pictures of what to expect and well I can't wait to see the rest now, the doggy shot was in the woods and really got to see the connection between me and the dog. I would so recommend for any picture Photoshoot your wanting! definitely doing wedding photos when he gets down on one knee xx

am absolutely over the moon with the quality of my photo album! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Nic was incredibly warm, welcoming, and made both me and my partner feel completely at ease. Her energy and professionalism created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, which truly shines through in every photo. This was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had, and I would recommend Red N Dead Photography to absolutely everyone – without hesitation. A perfect 10/10! Thank you very much again for your time and the perfect maternity shoot! 🥰🤗🤗

The best photographer, and experience we could of wished for. I dragged my husband for an anniversary shoot after finding Nic on social media. We had so much fun. I love our photographs so much we have rebooked for another with our kids in the Auntum. You won't be disappointed, by far one of the best photographers out there, we were made to feel comfortable as soon as we stepped out of the car. I will recommend to everybody. Thank you again 🖤
