Thea modeling portfolio shoot
Thea booked me for a modelling portfolio session at the end of last year.
My modelling portfolio sessions work like this: we start with moodboarding, and brainstorming the concept / direction of the shoot (which guides the styling, makeup, and location). Depending on the level of experience of the model, I direct posing and movement with some tips on how to make it look great in camera.
Thea wanted a modern take on the 70s french cool girl vibe that was stripped back and chic without being overdone. I think the team absolutely nailed it!

Styled Shoot: Laurel & Lace / Mrs Fray / Jenny Wu
At the end of last year, Lauren from Laurel and Lace dreamt up a concept of a bridal styled shoot that was all about creamy florals with a romantic colour palette, movement of sheer fabrics, old world meets modern bohemian. We teamed up with some of Canberra’s incredible wedding vendors (full credits and wardrobe details at the bottom of the post) and shot this in the Mrs Fray beautiful studio space the day before Christmas Eve.
The ladies at Mrs Fray have a way with words, so I’ll treat you with their description of this shoot:
“A soft playful take to inspire your wedding day mornings.
Floaty tulle, as light as air. Lustrous chocolate velours, sensuous silk slips and lounge about robes. An abundance of English rose garden blooms inspired by works of the Dutch Golden Age. Old fashioned romance.”

Blossom : A Spring Editorial
Every Spring, Canberra explodes with blossoming trees for roughly 2-3 weeks. Tracy and I decided to make the most of it this Spring so we foraged some pretty pink blossoms (as well as using some gorgeous cotton flowers she picked up from one of Wiluna Studio’s dried flower pop-ups) to use in a dreamy pink toned portrait shoot.
Lara- A Summer Beauty Editorial
This editorial was shot during a scorching summer’s day in January at my home in Canberra. We wanted to shoot some very pared back, minimalist looks that were all about light and shadows on perfect glowy skin, set off with some chic pieces by local Aussie designers.
I love shooting editorial portraits with direct light on the skin, so when we have a bright sunny day and a model with incredible skin, I’m a happy girl.
