Let me introduce myself, My name is Jade Stafford. I am currently 20 years old living on the Gold Coast. I've lived here most my life which is why I love taking photos around the Gold Coast, some places I didn't even know it existed until I started venturing out with my camera.
How did my hobby for photography start?
Ive also taken your typical family holiday photo, an i phone shot or two and I'm not going to lie a few selfies here or there. A few year ago my partner brought me, my first camera. People often say his created monster as my passion for photography has grown. Every weekend after that we were out and about capturing whatever we could. I was encouraged to join Instagram and I’m so glad i did. I became more inspired as a followed photographers from all over the world. Shortly afterwards I brought my first DLSR, a Nikon D7000.
How amazing is it when the cloud and sky changes colours, when you have a captured a moment that is now just a memory, a story. Thats what I love about photography. When your photo puts a smile on someone else face! Now thats an amazing feeling!
I still have so much to learn but so far i’m loving this learning adventure I’m on, and grateful those close to me have joined me and for the opportunities I have already been given. This hobby has allowed me to see the world and its beauty. I have gotten to know so many wonderful people through photography and instagram itself. I appreciate everyones support, encouragement, feedback and guidance as they share locations and tips.
What are my Goals?
As corny as this my sound photography makes me smile! I want to further my skills. I enjoy new born, wedding and landscape photography the most. I want to do more of this and maybe even sell a print or two. It would be a true come true to be paid to do what I love. I'll keep working towards that.
My Favourite Spots?
This is my story, Tell me yours!

My Favourite Spots?
- Killen Glen was definitely a spot i won't forget anytime soon and so close to home, this is where you'll find the heart shaped falls.
- The Spit, Ive done a few sunrises here, the pumping jet out gives you more then just the water and sand to capture.
- Currumbin, the rock and the city. this is an amazing spot to capture, with a bonus view of the city on the water.
