Earlier this year, she picked up a number of accolades at the 2019 Focus Awards.
She's also been a generous contributor to the Great Lakes Advocate, regularly sharing the beauty of her native Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest area with us.
Knowing the calibre of her work, we asked her to share her five favourite photos from 2019.
They didn't disappoint.
Bennetts Beach, Hawks Nest
Taken on Hawks Nest's Bennetts Beach in May of this year, Louise said rain on an otherwise sunny day helped produce this beautiful scene.
Bennetts Beach, Hawks Nest
Another one from Bennetts Beach, which is one of Louise's favourite photography haunts. Taken in November, Louise believed her storm chasing efforts paid off with this shot.
Barnes Rock, Hawks Nest
Taken at sunset in September at Barnes Rock on Jimmys Beach, Louise said low tide helped reveal this beautiful spot.
Myall Lakes National Park
Taken in December at Myall Lakes National Park, Louise was drawn to the beautiful light created by the late afternoon sun.
Jimmys Beach, Hawks Nest
Another photo from Jimmys Beach in September, Louise said the combination of a clear day and the pristine water at Jimmys made for a great photo.
