Alexandra Latter captures life on Pigeon Hole station in the NT

Alexandra Latter

Managing a remote cattle station in the Northern Territory with her husband, 31-year-old Alexandra Latter (@red.dirt.lens) is a mother of two and lover of photography.

I grew up on my family’s small mixed farming property in New South Wales. Nearly six years ago, my husband and I moved back to the Northern Territory, learned a hell of a lot (we’re still learning!), started our family and have never looked back.

I have always loved to take photos: before the advent of smartphones, I was the one who took my digital camera everywhere. My husband gave me a camera for Mother’s Day last year and, while I am still figuring out all the settings and learning along the way, I have been very fortunate to have a group of ladies around me who continue to help me.

Whether it is capturing memories of my children as they grow, the colours of the landscape as the seasons change or taking photos of the crew at work — to send to family and friends and give them some understanding of what they are doing up here in the north — capturing the everyday on a station is my passion. I follow some incredible photographers on Instagram; I am in awe of their abilities and hope to one day be as good as them.

Roxanne Weston

A 32-year-old mother of two, Roxanne Weston (@rlrphotography_) is based at Alpha in western Queensland and is passionate about photography.

We’ve recently relocated to Alpha, as our children are about to start high school. This move marks a new chapter for us, after more than 12 years calling Windorah, in Queensland’s Channel Country, home. As a mum of two wonderful kids, I juggle my time between my role as a corporate communications officer in local government and indulging my passion for photography.

I began my photography career focusing on thoroughbred racing, where I honed my skills in capturing the grace and power of these incredible athletes. Over time, my interests expanded to include the raw beauty of rural life and the vibrant stories of local families. My work allows me to transform simple moments, preserving the unique character of life in the outback.

Through my lens, I strive to share the authentic essence of outback living —whether it’s the intricate details of daily routines or the stories of local families.

Relocating to Alpha has invigorated my creativity, offering fresh inspiration and new perspectives. Balancing work, family life, and photography really does keep me on my toes, but the joy and fulfilment I gain from sharing real-life outback experiences make every moment worthwhile.

Georgia Redden

A visit to Tooraweenah in the Central West of New South Wales for their 108th annual PA&H Association show inspired Georgia Redden (@georgiareddenphotography).

I’m a wife, a mother of three kids, a green thumb — when I’ve got the energy — and a photographer. We are based on a small farm in Dubbo, New South Wales. I’ve only been known as mum for almost four years, but recently decided to pursue a decade-long wish to buy a camera and start photography.

I originally bought my camera to capture the ever-so-fleeting lives of my children, but have since found a calling to capture other families in rural and regional New South Wales, and the unbridled beauty in the mundane.

I think everything is beautiful in the right light and, having a camera in tow, I see endless potential for timeless photographs.

My husband and I are committed to raising three bush ‘wildlings’ who aren’t on screens and social media, have a good solid understanding of where our meat comes from and what hard work can lead you to achieve. I care for the kids full time and thrive off knowing I’m giving my kids the best start in life. We often duck away to some of the most spectacular spots rural Australia has to offer, filling their days with dirty feet and camping by the fire.

When we visited Tooraweenah’s PA&H Association show, I took some photos and spoke to the association’s secretary, Kristy Gale, who explained: “This long-standing show is a testament to this community, a small committee of 10 people and a band of volunteers who help in the lead up and on show day.” Kristy and her husband, Ben, the association’s president, put together something truly special, bringing people not only from Toora to the show, but from all over.

I was shooting an extended family reunion in Gulargambone that weekend and we thought we’d head bush for a few days prior, check the show out and have a few nights camping with the kids.

We have two horse-mad girls, so the barrel racing was a must as soon as we got there. Something you’ll find about a small country show is the effort that everyone goes to, especially in the pavilion, which was set up by chief stewards Kylie Moppett and Seanne Jenkin. The yard dog trials, run by Brendan Butler, were also a huge hit with the kids. Kristy said that this attraction is getting bigger and better every year, with more than 150 runs throughout the day.

I only managed to snap a few shots, while tailing three kids, but the ones I took show how much effort was put into the show by all. I highly recommend you put it in your calendars for next year!
