Mama of Sunny with a little boy coming in November. During my maternity leave I found a love for taking endless amounts of beautiful photos of my little one which led me to creating chasing_sunny. I absolutely love supporting small business! Sunny and I trial and share lots of Aussie owned products through the instagram platform, with so many of those being sustainable and ethical.
