A BIT ABOUT ME
Hilary Wardhaugh | Canberra Photographer
Established 1997
0418255416
I acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People as the Traditional Owners of the land I live and work on and pays respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging. I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of lands and waters across Australia and recognise that Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
I love to make portraits of people. I specialise in studio portraits, executive and corporate headshots, environmental portraits, event photography and editorial portraits.
I have a love for working with the elderly and our senior citizens; especially those with Dementia. Two portrait sessions I am passionate about are: Memory Portraits and Vintage Portraits.
I am a Volunteer Photographer for Heartfelt since 2011 and the ACT Representative until recently.
