Hey, I’m El — the eyes (and heart) behind The Heeler’s Lens.
I’m a Cairns-based photographer with a soft spot for golden light, real connection, and capturing the kind of moments you’ll want to relive over and over again.
Inspired by my blue heeler, Bluey, the most loyal, scrappy little soul you’ll ever meet, this business is rooted in heart and hustle.
Every photo I take is guided by her grit and grounded energy, mixed with a little magic and a whole lot of love.
I work with couples, families, and creatives across Cairns, the Tablelands, and beyond, turning everyday moments into timeless keepsakes.
Whether we’re barefoot in a field or dancing through the last light of day, you can expect a session that’s relaxed, honest, and uniquely you.
So if you’re after a Cairns photographer who brings the vibes, hypes you up, and captures you as you truly are! Welcome! You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Let’s make some magic 📸✨
At the core of The Heeler’s Lens is Bluey — my blue heeler, my sidekick, and the reason this business has the name it does.
She’s more than just a dog. She’s been there through every late-night edit, every road trip to a shoot, and every tough day that made me question it all.
Bluey is grit, heart, and loyalty — the same values I bring into every photo I take.
Rebranding to The Heeler’s Lens felt right. It’s a nod to the dog who’s always by my side and the perspective she’s helped me find — one that sees beauty in the raw and real.
This brand is built on honest storytelling, deep connection, and capturing life in its most unfiltered moments.
Just like Bluey, it’s grounded, strong, and always ready for the next adventure.
