Branding Photography for Gold Coast Airport Motel
I recently photographed Gold Coast Motel, creating a collection of lifestyle-focused imagery designed to showcase the property's relaxed atmosphere and guest experience. Working alongside my assistant during the four-hour shoot, we carefully styled each space and utilised the beautiful natural light throughout the day to create warm, inviting photographs.
I recently photographed Gold Coast Motel, creating a collection of lifestyle-focused imagery designed to showcase the property's relaxed atmosphere and guest experience. Working alongside my assistant during the four-hour shoot, we carefully styled each space and utilised the beautiful natural light throughout the afternoon to create warm, inviting photographs.
The team at Gold Coast Motel were fantastic to work with—clear in their vision and priorities, while also trusting me to creatively direct the shoot after an initial walkthrough of the property. One interesting challenge was that the new motel signage had not yet been installed, so I incorporated it into the final images during post-production to ensure the finished gallery accurately reflected the completed project.
Perth Hotel Photography for Wonil Hotel
It was an absolute dream to travel to Perth, for a full week of photography work for Accor Hotels.
We spent 3 days styling to camera and photography the beautiful, Wonil Hotel Perth. This including, each room type, the reception, library, restaurant, alfresco dining and exterior shots.
Working with stylist, Anna Flanders was incredible, she is so talented, and such a pleasure to work with on this project.
Ashley Gill of Accor Hotels was, as always, so professional and made the whole shoot go so well, always so in awe of watching her work.

I use to travel regularly for work before I had kids, and it’s been so nice to travel again this year now that they are older. Visiting WA for the first time was wonderful, and I can’t wait to get back there.

This shoot was completed on a beautiful 120 acre property in Western Plains, Dubbo. Only a short drive to the extraordinary Dubbo Zoo. If you are interested in holidaying in the affectionally known, Shouse. Please also get in touch and I’ll put you in contact with the owners.
It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home, with a loft living space, which could double as a second bedroom. The build and creation of this home is beautiful, and such a joy to stay in. The property sits high, and has absolutely stunning views! which is near unheard of in Dubbo.
I am so so proud of the owners, for what they have created and so privileged to stay and reap the rewards of their hard work.
I hope you’ll enjoy a browse through this holiday home:

Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach Real Estate Photography for AJK Property
I was thrilled to get the call from these lovely home owners. I photographed this house over 3 years ago for The Beach Furniture, as the home owners had purchased a variety of furniture pieces from this local store.
I was thrilled to get the call from these lovely home owners. I photographed this house over 3 years ago for The Beach Furniture, as the home owners had purchased a variety of furniture pieces from this local store.
They were now selling the property, and wasn’t happy with the ‘standard’ real estate photography they received, but remembered they liked the photography I had done of their home over 3 years ago … I’ve been getting this call a lot lately … home owners wanting a more ‘editorial’ feel for real estate … to capture the essence of the home, to spend the time waiting for the right light, styling the space to suit the feeling of the home, the position of the home and of course the location.
So for this job, we started with a sunrise shot of the exterior that faces the beach, I then styled up the entire interior, using pieces from my personal prop collection (and the car jam packed with home styling accessories).
All in all this home took 7 hrs to photograph.
You can see the listing for this property here:
https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-palm+beach-131487942
And a couple of family shots of the home owners as well, to remember their time in this beautiful beach side home.
“We accidentally came across Tanika when a company organised a shoot at our house for a range of products we had purchased. We were so in love with her photography that when we decided to put our house on the market years later, we hunted for hours to find the blog the photos were used for to get her details.
Since then we have used her for a second property shoot and also recommended her to a friend who is a real estate agent, who then subsequently used her photography for her own house!
Could not recommend Tanika enough!”

Capturing the lighting of Twin Towns on the Tweed Heads and Coolangatta border for Herriott Electrical.
I provided a variety of shots, which I then personally put together to create a custom GIF for this client, something a bit more interesting to use on their website and socials rather than a stand-alone photo.

SHOOT LOCATIONS - Tips for hiring your home out for photo shoots
As someone who has photographed many many Shoot Locations, and use shoot locations for her products clients regularly, here are my top tips for hiring out your house for Photo Shoots.
As someone who has photographed many many Shoot Locations, and use shoot locations for her product clients regularly, here are my top tips for hiring out your house for Photo Shoots … after chatting to so many home owners already doing it, and being asked a variety of questions from home owners who are wanting to hire out their house. Here are my top tips, and questions answered (don't hesitate to get in contact if there’s anything else you’d like to know):
Show your potential customers (the businesses looking for shoot locations) how beautiful your home is, buy having it professionally photographed by me … you’ll need to show your house in the best natural lighting it gets, clients will want to see where the light hits. And even better would be a list, and photo examples of where the light hits at what time of day (the times will change through out the year) … this is is helpful for the businesses to plan their photoshoots out, and get the most out of your house. (some businesses will want to ‘scout’ the location ahead of a shoot, to really get a good idea of the light and space).
You will need to have a contract drawn up, to cover your house for any damages that may occur, I can help you out with this, upon completion of photographing your house for you.
There are two quite well known businesses that are like Airbnb, for shoot locations … Pure Locations and Aloca … these businesses advertise your house for shoot hire, they take all the stress out of the process for you, and handle everything … booking your clients, contracts, taking payments etc … you do of course have to pay them a fee, but if you don’t have the time, or just don’t want to have to do it, they will do all the ‘book keeping’ side of hiring out your home for shoots. It also means a lot bigger businesses (with more money to spend) are seeing your home and that it is available to hire. But of course you an handle this all yourself if you choose to.
I would also highly recommend starting an instagram account purely for your house, and advertising the fact you are now hiring it out for shoots. Naming your home, and featuring only the professional photography you will get from me after I photograph it for you. You definitely don’t need to be posting on this account all the time, it’s not another thing you have to maintain … but it does mean when you have shoots at your house, everyone involved with the shoot … photographers, models, make up artists etc … have a instagram account to ‘tag’ where they are, and then that’s free advertising for you. And if they are tagging the house, you can repost/share any of their content, so free content for you, to advertise that your house is available for shoot hire (more professional photography, rather than dodgy iPhone photos, of your house). You do need to have a clear brand, and if you are paying for professional photography, I wouldn’t then post random iPhone photos that don’t match the aesthetic brand of the house, branding is so so important. Having a beautiful logo for you house is also very helpful, to give the overall feel of the home. (I come from a graphic design background too, so I can design a logo for your home).
All you really need to do it have a clean and tidy house, before each shoot booking. You may want to hire a cleaner for this, I can also recommend some for you, depending on your location.
If you literally don’t want to deal with any of this, I am available to photograph your home, and do all this other work to have it up and running, ready to take on clients … designing a logo, launching your instagram account, writing out contracts, and automated email replies with all the details, putting together PDF’s to talk your potential clients through your house, how the light hits etc, we could even video your house, to really show the lay out etc …
Bonus Tips
@peppahart has a beautiful home in Cabarita (@casa_campana) that was built for shoot hire, she has spoken a lot about hiring out her home for shoots on her instagram account, some really helpful content there, if you would like to read more, from someone who is already hiring out her house.
Your house doesn’t need to be ‘perfect’ and jaw dropping amazing, you would be surprised by the price my photography clients have paid, and houses I have used for product shoots for clients in the past, I will be completely honest with you, if I think your home will not be able to be a shoot location, just ask me, I won’t lie to you and waste your time.
If the whole home isn’t photo shoot ready … you just need to be completely honest with your potential clients, about what areas of your home are shoot worthy, how many rooms, or outdoor spaces can be used, what the best angles are etc.
If you’d like to see some of the homes I have photographed in the past that are all hiring out their homes for photo shoot locations, head over here. These shoots were all done purely to advertise these homes being available for shoot hire. And these homes here, are some that I have used for product photography shoots, in the past.
As always, don't hesitate to get in contact, to find out more about my services, and even just to have a chat about hiring out your home for shoots.
