One Print, Many Looks!
Frames can enhance a print while adding personality and style to your display.
For example, we paired 4×6 images from the garden and nature photography collection with three different white frames. By simply changing the frame, each piece created a unique visual impact—from clean and contemporary to classic and elegant—showing how framing can enhance the display of your favourite garden and nature photography prints.

About A Garden Tells A Story
A Garden Tells A Story evolved from a personal project of photographing our amazing native birds. Something a little different from my studio portrait photography – and a great excuse for being outside in nature.
Importantly, this little project has challenged me to learn more about the relationship between native birdlife and unique habitat needs. Just the inspiration I needed to start creating a native bird-friendly home garden.
With that has come a lot of new learning (and still learning) about plants and wildlife. All of which I’m now writing about with little stories available to read in blog posts and email updates.
From a love of photographing native birds comes a range of printed images and digital art. You can click on any of the “shop now” buttons to do a little browsing of what’s available. I hope you find something here to bring a little nature into your home or a smile to your day.
Thanks fov visiting.

A few kind words
“They make you feel like you were there when they were taken”
“I thought these images looked beautiful and couldn’t wait to receive them. I was blown away by how stunning they are in real life. I can’t wait to get more. They’re not just pictures, they make you feel like you were there when they were taken”.
“because all the stuff he likes, he already has”
“Recently my husband had a birthday and I’d been scratching my head for months wondering what to get him. It was almost like mission impossible. Because all the stuff he likes, he already has. A Garden Tells A Story had an image of a blue wren in their online shop. And I instantly knew it was the perfect thing for my husband’s birthday (he loves blue wrens). On the big day, my husband was delighted when he opened up the package I gave him.
But I didn’t realise exactly HOW MUCH he liked it until saw what he did with it. I thought he was going to hang it up on the wall. Silly me! No, he put it right next to the TV and his most beloved marble run. So he can see it when he sits down in the evenings. It helps him relax.”
