I’ve been having one of those month’s where th I’ve been having one of those month’s where things keep going pear-shaped at home. One of those things going wrong was that a big leak happened in the back of my very old vanity in my almost 100 year-old Queenslander. I rang my friend Jonah from @needaplumber_sc and he declared the vanity dead. So off I went to @highgrovebathrooms and I sourced this whole vanity set up which they got to me in two days! Then I went to Brisbane for work and visited my favourite hardware store @paddohardware and sourced these perfect drawer pulls. I got such good service from everybody that I wanted to make a very off-brand reel to celebrate it because when you get good service these days I reckon we should make a fuss about it! * Back to regular on-brand high res imagery posting tomorrow. 😆

I start every day in the office with an English Br I start every day in the office with an English Breakfast tea, a to-do list as long as my arm, and a brain full (or heart full) of inspiration for the projects we are working on. I have two sips, and I get so focused that I often forget to drink the rest!  Twelve years into Wholehearted Studio and I’m still pinching myself I get to do this and call it ‘work’. I love what I do! If you’ve got a shoot coming up and you need a hand with styling, or maybe it’s your social media presence that needs some love—send me a message, I’d love to chat and see how we can work together.

TODAY'S TOP SOCIALS TIP If you have people watchi TODAY'S TOP SOCIALS TIP If you have people watching your stories, you have a fan club! You don't need to post on Instagram every single day (or multiple times a day like some recommend!), but make sure you're not forgetting your audience who love you the most. Let your fan club see the work you do behind the scenes. At a minimum, try to aim for a series of three photos posted together a couple of times a week, so your audience can tap through the photos and get a little look into your world and work. Stories expire in 24 hours, so there is less pressure for them to be perfect. Have fun with it! Aim for what is sustainable and consistent and remember to be kind to yourself.
