"Hi, I'm Bernadette Draffin, I'd like to take a moment to share a little about my self. I am originally from the Philippines, I spent a great deal of my life there. Moving to Australia last 2008 and now I am proud to be an Australian Citizen!! I have 2 beautiful daughters Hailey 6 and Jasmin just turned a year old last March 24. Photography had always been a joy but my passion really blossomed after my children were born. I loved recording each milestone: first smiles, first steps, first tears, every precious memory. In those moments I found myself really connecting to the power of photography. I began researching and self-teaching as much I could, anywhere I could. I have studied books, watched tutorials, and while my skill has certainly improved from where I began, I hope I never lose my still-present thirst for learning more! I love what I do and want you to be pleased with the entire experience. I strive to compose your portraits naturally, without forcing poses or emotions. My priorities are making you feel relaxed, genuine, and ensuring you have fun! When I accomplish that, I guarantee you will be head over heels in love with the results. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you!"
