About ME

Thanks for stopping by!

This is The Sprightly Observer. It's a photography journal of sorts, a collection of experiences I've been fortunate enough to gather.

I'm Kylie, the person behind the shutter. My dad gave me a Minolta 35mm camera when I was a teenager, not long after my family moved to from Spain to Australia. It was his way of helping me find something I could throw myself into & fit in faster. Clearly, it stuck! Since then, my gear has changed, but my love for it is just as strong. 

I don't shoot as much as I'd like, but I go on binge sessions every now and then! The Sprightly Observer was born as a way of helping me share the world through my lens.

I didn’t make it out there this year, but I’m there in spirit with my amazing community of creators, givers and lovers. There’s no place like home alright, and today I’m missing it hard. . #burningman #burnergirls #burner #bur
