Brisbane Hotel Interior Photography for Mercure Hotels - Spring Hill

Our second shoot for the Brisbane, Spring Hill - Mercure Hotel. This time photographing their newly refurbished rooms, capturing 2 of these incredibly renovated hotel rooms. We were pleased to be able to also lifestyle style these spaces for the shoot. Always an added bit of fun to get to ‘tell the story’ for the shoot.

Our first shoot for this hotel was of their reception/foyer, exterior, pool and conference rooms, you can see this here.

Byron Bay Store Photography for Trust Projects of Butterboy

What a delicious brick and mortar to be asked to photograph in Byron Bay. I may have walked away with a tin of cookie, because how is one suppose to choose.

I usually wouldn’t shoot an exterior so late in the morning, but for this one, it really worked well for a 10.30am start. Sometimes that closer to mid day direct sunlight, really works in your favour. (sometimes … honestly very rarely, but it did work this time)

Gold Coast Lifestyle Photography for Kirra Point Holiday Apartments

A pleasure to be asked to stay at Kirra Point Holiday Apartments, and capture my young family enjoying these beautiful apartments, and facilities. My favourite place in the world is Kirra Beach, my local, where I’ve grown up, all my best memories at this beach.

The kids did so great with their modelling once again. The combo of directing your own kids, rather then children you don’t know, I find works really well, or my kids are just quite experienced with this? either way I’ll take on more of these shoots any day.

Melbourne Store Photography for The Modern furniture store

A trip in January 2026, had me flying to Melbourne and Sydney for The Modern furniture store. A first worked for The Modern to photograph their Brisbane stores, and since then I have now photographed every store they have around Australia, proud to say they preferred my photography style and have me go photograph every store, instead of organising different photographers for every store location. Melbourne we were of course meet with a morning of cloud cover, but I’m really happy with the end results of these photos despite the challenges.

Gold Coast Interior Photography for Next Level Cabinets of their Coolangatta Home project

A pleasure to capture this beautiful home, so filled with natural sunlight for Next Level Cabinets. I spent a full day at this location, to make sure of all of the natural sunlight. I also styled the space, bringing with my boxes and boxes of props, as the home owners had only just moved in. Photography a build freshly built is always helpful, but can lack in styling, I am always happy to bring along styling pieces.

Lifestyle Product Photography for The Modern Furniture - 1st Quarter Shoot

I have been photographing The Modern Furniture’s stores around Australia over the past 12 months, and I was so glad they asked me to now also do their lifestyle product photography. This was a 10 hr day. We hired Honey House for the shoot, and had the help of 3 team members from The Modern Furniture, plus myself and Mathilde to make this happen on the day. We ended up being able to capture over 100 photos, and deliver 8 videos. Of course Mathilde and I took on the stylist roles and lighting technicians. The Modern Furniture aim to do one of these lifestyle shoots per quarter. We are excited to see what we do next with these photo shoots.

Sunshine Coast Hotel Shoot for Novotel - Twin Waters

A challenging shoot for me, as I don’t usually work with artificial lights, or this many. Luckily, it wasn’t downlights (the worst kind of light), but I got comfortable in the uncomfortable, and all parties were pleased with the result.

The first shoot I’ve done for Novotel hotels, and more to come! This is Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast.
