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.

Read MoreWe have loved doing these shoots, for hotel businesses. A 2nd level to ‘Airbnb photography’, which we have become so well known for.
A pleasure to do a sunrise and sunset shoot for the Ramanda Hotel in Ballina. Coming equipped with lighting equipment for a cloudy couple of hours when we didn’t have the sun … and styling props, which were all ‘holiday’ themed … and didn't take away from the actual look of the hotel rooms.
We completed 5 different rooms for this hotel, as well as pool shots.
Take a browse of our favourite shots from this shoot.
Read MoreThe latest shoots for my beautiful best friend’s hair salon, Moosh Hair Studio. I love watching this team grow, and the happy faces I get to photograph in this space. The new fit-out is wonderful and so great to photograph it finally. This is a ‘content’ shoot, where we capture as much as possible, ‘head shots’, candid photos, interior and space shots as well as product flay lays. Using what we have there as much as possible, to make it quick and easy, to give our clients photos they can use for the next 2 months.
Read MoreA stunning home renovation project to style and photography for Brooks Builder. This shoot package also included videography. We are so thrilled to be able to offer this to our clients now. Photography and videography that complement each other. (scroll to the bottom of this post to see the complimenting video)
Read MoreWe were so thrilled to be back at this beautiful Airbnb in Byron Bay for a second shoot … and this time using the drone to capture aerial shots of this property. And completing videographer to complement the photography of this property.
a 2 hr shoot on a cloudy day that only added to the serenity of this calm oasis.
Read MoreA gloomy day that turned so lovely about halfway through … see if you can spot the photos with photography lighting and those with natural sunlight?
This is the 10th property we have photographed for this powerhouse of a property management company.
This job was completed with a team of 2 photographers, and the shoot was done in 4 hrs … a 2 bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in a great location of Byron Bay.
We were also able to do a small video in this time, which we will share soon.
Read MoreI was so thrilled to photograph the beautiful family home of Urban Road’s Suzie. A home I visited many times, over my years working with Urban Road, so I had seen the ‘before’ and it was so great to walk in to see the after and capture this home.
It is a collaborative project with Deb and Andy of The Block (2019) … DNA of Design is their new business, which is one to watch (I’m photographing the next renovation project very soon).
This shoot was published in Adore Magazine’s, Summer 2022 issue. The feeling of seeing work in print, never gets old.
Read MoreMy gosh have I enjoyed working with Bhodi these past few months … we’ve captured 3 of his stunning interior design projects together. He is just as much of a perfectionist as I am, we are taking our time, styling every little detail to camera … and wow! we are both so happy with the outcome. Very much a collaborative effort.
I’m absolutely honoured to photograph Bhodi’s interior design work, an emerging Gold Coast interior designer with so much talent that is doing stunning work.
The below project is the second one we captured together, it is a Broadbeach apartment. We had another perfect cloudy day for the shoot, defusing the light beautifully, and allowing me to use just one photography light, so we could control the lighting so nicely.
Check out more of Bhodi’s work here.

Read MoreIt’s been so great to be adding to my portfolio, a new category … hotel photography. I’ve now photographed 8 different hotel rooms for Accor Hotels on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane. Styling to the camera is so important for these photographs and even more important is the lighting. Each shoot has been carefully timed to make use of the natural sunlight direction for each room as much as possible.
The room below is the Deluxe Studio Suite, in The Johnson Art Series … location: Brisbane … book this room here.
Read MoreI was thrilled to be asked by Katherine, of Kiln Design, to not only photograph this project for her, but also source and provide the styling (Katherine is based in Canberra, and flu up for the shoot day, so it just made more sense for me to do the styling for this one).
The home was empty (and part of it still a construction zone) … but you wouldn’t know would you? … very happy with our efforts, to capture this project before the home owners were moving in.
Another cloudy day for this shoot (which I love, when the view isn’t needed for the client) … we were able to use my professional photography lighting to add more lighting were it was needed (usually outside, aimed through windows, so it looks realistic).
Such a beautiful project in Burleigh Heads. Head over to Kiln Designs website to see more.
Read MoreShoot no. 4 for Marina Hirst Interiors, this time photographing their Tennyson interior design project. Another cloudy day (definitely like those best when photographing interiors, where the view isn’t a feature of the project)
Read MoreThe shoot started off on such a high, interior designer, Marina took me out for breakfast before we started which was so lovely. It’s so wonderful when clients become friends. Photographing Marina’s Chelmer project this time round, a little more challenging then the other shoots had been. We were given a much sunnier day, but a home that doesn’t get a whole stack of natural light coming through. This just means the shoot does slow down quite a bit, with the added lighting tasks, to light each shot the right way.
Read MoreA pleasure to photograph this epic Penthouse for Accor Hotels. The Johnson Art Series in Brisbane is such a beautiful building. We needed the sunlight for this, and so glad it showed it’s face for this shoot (or we would of postponed).
This penthouse needed the natural sunlight to really give it the right feel, such a large beautiful space for a big group to enjoy.
