Meet our Beautiful Family
I'm Rod, lead photographer and founder, and my journey began in the vibrant landscape of Sri Lanka, where I worked as a banker. Life took a beautiful turn when I decided to follow my heart to South Australia, a place that would soon become my home. I was driven not just by the allure of new opportunities but by the desire to support my wife, Tia, as she pursued her dreams in urban and regional planning. Tia's passion for shaping communities inspires me every day. Together, we are blessed with two incredible children, Noah and Luna, whose laughter fills our home with joy and wonder. They are the heart of our family, reminding us of the beauty in life's simplest moments.
My journey into photography began with a desire to capture these fleeting moments—those cherished times with newborns, families, and expectant mothers. Each click of the shutter felt like a promise to preserve love and connection. At Just Natural by Rod, we are more than just a business; we are a family dedicated to celebrating life's most beautiful moments.
Together, we strive to capture the magic of each family's journey, ensuring that the moments filled with joy and laughter today become cherished memories for tomorrow. Our mission is to create a legacy of love that will be passed down through generations, a testament to the beautiful connections that bind us all.
