Stylist for Campaign Videography for Designer Rugs

I was asked to style a videography shoot for Designer Rugs, and it was so much fun … you could imagine my excitement, being the big colour lover that I am, and the maximalist attitude Designer Rugs has, I was in heaven planning this shoot, sourcing all the props, and bringing it all together on the day.

Videography by Jax Oliver

The Shoot location, is a home I had captured for Salt Construction Co a few weeks prior.

Photos below, my own work, in between style tweaking for the videography.

Acacia Textiles

Introducing Acacia Textiles! ... fabrics, fabrics and more fabrics, an absolutely beautiful collection and such an awesome project to work on with Laura, Susi & Valerie ... seeing their vision come to life, fabrics they have been working on for so long ... finally put into a room ... on a bedhead, made into curtains, upholstered on sofas and more ... the planning for these shoots started back in 2019, and we shot all the collections back in January and February this year ... it’s been a long wait for this team ... it’s so wonderful to see it finally all out there! ... have a browse of their fabric collections via their website. All styling & photography by me.

So much goes into these types of shoots, it really is a big team effort ... we started with a completely empty room, even the walls were painted up for this ... While you are browsing their website or seeing photos being posted ... and spot pieces you like, here’s a list of all involved ... the small furniture pieces, lamps etc are from Tailored Space Interiors // all the upholstered furniture for the shoot is by Ud Furniture // coral by Shell Mac Distributors // big thanks to all the friends of mine who let me raid their linen cupboards for bedding for these shoots, I even took bedsides from one of them ... and a friends’s Dad pretty much cut down a tree for me, so that I could have the ‘leaf’ you see here ☺️ ... of course there was also many trips to HM, Kmart and Target ... so just ask if there’s anything that gets your attention, I’ll point you in the right direction.

Cosmology Skincare

This skincare collection has been years in the making and it’s so close to launching, it’s definitely going to be one to watch.

I had an absolute ball creating these photos for Cosmology’s branding.

This branding photo shoot was actually complete over 2 days. Lots of prep hours, painting up backdrops, sourcing all the right ‘props’ etc. The cost was $1200, 30 edited photos plus over 70 different crops were supplied (to suit landscape, portrait and square crop styles)

Urban Road - New Solstice SS19

Urban Road’s latest collection has just launched … and this could well be my favourite collection to date!

I highly recommend heading over to their website to have a good browse.

The styled shots for this collection were mostly captured on a one day photo shoot at the stunning Byron Bay home of Alex Bennett Design.

Take a look and get some inspiration of some of the styled shots below.

(the shoot was a team effort of 4 … myself behinds the lens, and styling (mostly directing, as I was 33 weeks pregnant) my assistant Cara, and the wonderful Mel & Sarah from Urban Road. Because the house was so perfect mostly as is, just tweaking things here and there, the shoot only took a few hours to do. Many many hours to edit, so editing time was close to 10 hrs.)

Interested in learning more about my styled photo shoots, don’t hesitate to get in contact.

Gold Coast Homewares Product Photography for House Society

House Society … my gosh what a store! … I was so thrilled to work with Jessica Pulijich on the launch of her first online furniture and homewares store. I very skilled Interior Designer that was a unique and interesting take on the world of interiors. We (especially here in Australia) needed a store like Jess’s. Her own home was used as the backdrop for the photo shoot, and of course each ‘set’ was styled to perfection. I simply had to capture the magic in the best light.

Jess, my assistant Cara and I worked together on 2 days of shooting to give House Society plenty of content for her brand new website and the advertising for her business.

Head over to her website to have a good browse and enjoy the rich colours and vibrant patterns of this eclectic store.

Here’s a little peek at some of my favourite shots.

Are you starting a new business? … or needing to re-brand and re-launch. Check out what I can offer you to get you off to a flying start.

Shaynna Blaze x Urban Road

An exciting styled photo shoot, and the third time I have worked with Shaynna Blaze, thanks to my ongoing work with Urban Road. Their latest collaboration together titled 'In Plane View' is a stunning collection of moody tones, representing the view from the plane window on Shaynna's travels around the world.

The photo shoot for this collection took a lot of prep work. We were basically doing a 3-day shoot in 1 day, with a lot of different people involved and a lot of organising and planning needed to make sure the day went smoothly.

The location, you may recognise? ... it is the home of ex-Block contestants Michael and Carlene Duffy. It's located in Tallebudgera and was the perfect backdrop to this collection. Their home really is beautiful.

There are many small businesses to thank for the loan of furniture and homewares to style up with the art prints including The Beach Furniture, Kira and Kira, Kip and Co and Coastal Raw. If you are curious but any particular items in the photos don't hesitate to ask, I'll point you in the right direction to find out more.

Another great part of this little project was being able to work with Jellan of Clash Studio, I have been a big fan of his work for a long time and I can't wait to see what he does next. He is an amazing videographer. He captured the gorgeous video below of the photo shoot and art collection for the launch campaign.

You can browse and purchase the collection here. A variety of sizes and frame styles are available.

Big thanks to the Urban Road girls for trying their best to keep me sane through the chaos of this crazy day.

All styling and photography by me.

Shaynna Blaze x Urban Road

I've enjoyed working with Urban Road on all their photo shoots to release their new collections since 2014. But the most exciting has definitely been the photo shoot they flu me to Melbourne for, to shoot with Shaynna Blaze on their collaboration collections. We shot in one of Shaynna's homes, I still styled the shoot, I was full of nerves but so happy with our end result.

Shop this collection here.

(photos towards the end, without Shaynna in them, were shot at various homes on the Gold Coast for the Shaynna Blaze collection, contact me if you are curious about anything in the photos, I'll point you in the right direction to purchase/find out more)

Cabin Co Winter '16

I was so happy Amanda of Cabin Co asked me to visit her home in Launceston, Tasmania so that we could work together on the photo shoot for her first winter collection. She had a clear vision for how she wanted to see these new products she had worked so tirelessly and passionately on.

...

We were able to visit the stunning holiday home, Quamby for this photo shoot, and it was the perfect backdrop to this Tasmanian wool collection. Here's a peek at the photo shoot, check out the products here.
