10 tips on choosing your wardrobe for a headshot session
For branding portraits, the most important stylistic consideration is that what you’re wearing feels right for your brand and you feel good wearing the outfit- all the other general tips are secondary to this. Read more in this post.
Naked Cubby / Breakfast with Dinny
Earlier in the year I photographed the launch of Dinny - a new addition to the Naked Cubby Co. family at Mount Majura winery. It was a cosy breakfast amongst the vines, featuring some of Canberra’s awesome local businesses - Three Mills bakery had their incredible pastries and were making damper rolls over a fire pit; Redbrick coffee were pouring their best blends; Mount Majura winery were keeping everyone’s glasses topped up with their sparkling; and Tea Garden ran tea tasting and a tea blending workshop.
Dinny, of course, was the star of the show. A solar powered and self contained ‘tiny home’ with the most luxurious and stylish finishes. I’m keen to have a staycation here when this lockdown situation improves. The toddler is not invited.
Acro Alliance Dance School Photoshoot
I’ve been very fortunate to be good friends with the lovely “Miss Andy” for the past few years- shes’ an incredible acro dance teacher who teaches dancers as well as acro dance instructors around the world.
We did a photoshoot to create content for the Acro Alliance website as well as some headshots for her in mid 2020 with a group of her demonstrator students from the Pointe to Pointe studio (where she teaches out of in Canberra). Those amazing little bodies are OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Je Fleur Florist Shop Launch Photoshoot
I absolutely loved spending some time in the beautiful new space at Je Fleur, photographing the store, some of their gorgeous creations, and headshots for the team.
Je Fleur Florist bring European style floristry to Canberra, they do bespoke bouquets, wedding styling, and cute gifts like candles with plantable seeds inspired by the scents. They’re right next to Intra and Mrs Fray in Campbell - such a great little spot to spend a morning.

Nea Zoi Jewellery x Wiluna Studios lookbook
I was part of a creative collaboration between Canberra based businesses Wiluna Flower Studio and Concept Space and Nea Zoi The Brand. The beautiful minimalist jewellery pieces from Nea Zoi were set in the airy Wiluna studio space, amongst touches of dried and fresh florals. Nea Zoi is a passion project by Amalia Stavreas (of Dimitries Jewellers) for ocean conservation.

Wearable Art : Shooting for Australian Brand One Of Twelve
At the end of last year I was fortunately enough to be involved with the brand launch of Australian clothing company One Of Twelve. I was commissioned to create some product and editorial style photos with the founder and creative director of One Of Twelve- Anna Saboisky.
I absolutely love the aesthetic of the brand, the incredible artwork on the scarves, and the quality of the silk.
Authentic Design: An editorial
I loved being part of this editorial which explores authenticity of design and the journeys of four extremely talented furniture designers. It is truly inspiring to see the amount of talent in Canberra- what I would now consider a melting pot of creative energy and a (surprising?) shift from how things were even as recently as 5 years ago.

Food photography: Pasta People Canberra Shoot
It was my absolute pleasure to do a photoshoot for Pasta People, who are expanding the online presence and ecommerce for their pasta store (currently at the Old Bus Depot Markets in Canberra). Very soon now their popular flavoured dried pasta and preservative free vacuum sealed sauces will be available to be purchased online. Hurrah! Gluten intolerant pasta lovers should be pretty excited about their gluten free pasta offerings too.
It was a really fun shoot, with Lily and I working on the food styling; her husband working as the lighting assistant (reflector holder); Phil working as errand boy; and food photography by me. Eating the cooked dishes at the end was a team effort.
