It’s always a fun day when photographing Vanessa Wood Interior’s work. The stunning Burleigh apartment in the Boardwalk building was no exception.

It’s always a fun day when photographing Vanessa Wood Interior’s work. The stunning Burleigh apartment in the Boardwalk building was no exception.

First shoot I’ve worked on tethered (camera connected to the lap top) and the results speak for themselves … we loved being able to work more as a team on this shoot. It meant less photos, but photos we were 100% happy with.

Ask me about photographing your next shoot tethered, it’s game changing and I should of done this years ago.

The Plumbing Doctor

A plumbers photo shoot? … yes please, I was surprisingly excited about this one. I think it’s the fact that these kind of businesses are taking their marketing seriously these days, and being able to put a creative and designer brand to their business is so great!

A plumbers photo shoot? … yes please, I was surprisingly excited about this one. I think it’s the fact that these kind of businesses are taking their marketing seriously these days, and being able to put a creative and designer brand to their business is so great!

Together with the The Plumbing Doctor team we did 2 shoots, 1 sunrise shoot at Currumbin, to get ‘that’ banner shot. And a 2nd shoot at Bardon Abode (which you may recognise as I have now shot their 4 times) … we love your house Imigen!

Up level your marketing with professional photography (no matter what business you are in) you won’t regret it.

Bardon Abode

This beautiful colourful home is the work of the home owner, Imigen … isn’t she talented? … no training in the field of interior design, just raw talent.

This beautiful colourful home is the work of the home owner, Imigen … isn’t she talented? … no training in the field of interior design, just raw talent.

I was lucky enough to get introduced to Imigen, by Jamie & Tim, from 4D Renovations, they did the renovations of the Bardon Abode, main bathroom/laundry and ensuite (stunning bathrooms!) … So I visited the property to shoot their renovation work … and was back their again the very next day to use their pool area for a outdoor fabric photo shoot … a very last minute shoot location change … a very lucky one to happen upon Imigen’s home the day before.

I then returned the week after … to shoot the entire home, for the home owners to advertise it for photo shoot hire. And to of course, show it off to all of you lovely people.

I’m sure many of you will appreciate Imigen’s work, making her families home into this beautiful oasis.

Let Imigen and I know what your favourite part about her home is.

I love all the colour! the eclectic mix of furniture … full of interesting lines, and a variety of textures (especially that entry table, and the bookshelf) … pared back by the simple interior finishes.

Bardon Abode is now available for photo shoot hire via Pure Locations.

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.)

Gold Coast Product Photography and Website for UD Furniture

This website has been over a year in the making … many many photo shoots later we are finally launching this beauty that has been long awaited.

We hope all of UD Furniture’s past and future clients will enjoy browsing their vast selection of sofa styles and designs … as well as bedheads, occasional chairs, dining chairs and ottomans.

This website has been over a year in the making … many many photo shoots later we are finally launching this beauty that has been long awaited.

We hope all of UD Furniture’s past and future clients will enjoy browsing their vast selection of sofa styles and designs … as well as bedheads, occasional chairs, dining chairs and ottomans. All made in Australia, with small lead times, quality products that will last the test of time. (my own sofa in my home is a UD Furniture sofa, and I always get them to make the sofa’s for my interior design clients, I can not recommend them enough)

The website was fun to create for a business I love … and the many photo shoots we did to show off their products were even more exciting. All the photo shoots were put together at Tailored Space Interiors, so any homewares and smaller furniture items you see in the photos are available from Tailored Space Interiors.

UD Furniture are not open to the direct public, so if you are interested in their products, contact them for a list of suppliers/interior designers who can help you bring your sofa dreams to life. Tailored Space are of course my number one recommendation, who are a stockist of UD Furniture products.

Take a look at the brand spanking new UD Furniture website here.

And peek at some of my favourite styled shots from our 6+ photo shoots below:

Shoot out to my assistant Cara, for lending her talented hands to nearly all of the UD Furniture photo shoots (and having to do most of the styling by the end, as I was very very pregnant and wobbling slowly to and from the camera haha)

Nearly all of the artworks seen all over the UD Furniture website, are Urban Road art pieces, please contact me if you are having trouble finding a piece you love on the Urban Road online shop.
