We acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi people, the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations.

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.

TODAY'S TOP PHOTO SHOOT STYLING TIP Plan ahead! T TODAY'S TOP PHOTO SHOOT STYLING TIP

Plan ahead! The last thing you want is to have your shoot booked and locked in, but your wardrobe isn't working for you. Plan while you've still got time up your sleeve!
Figtree—sweeping views, high ceilings, open spac Figtree—sweeping views, high ceilings, open spaces, tasteful finishes, and a whole lot of heart. 

Following a successful interior styling project with homeowners, Jillian and Mark on their previous home, it only felt natural for us to work together again; styling their new home, Figtree, which is set on a magnificent property on the Sunshine Coast.

The brief was to create a personalised space that reflected the owners and their expanding family of adult children and grandchildren. Incorporating cherished pieces from their previous home, we added a fresh layer of styling to complete the look.

Throwback to our 'Things I Love' shoot. 🤍 Th Throwback to our 'Things I Love' shoot. 🤍 

This entire shoot began with a conversation in the salon chair. My hairstylist mentioned an artist she knew who had transformed a warehouse into a home—I reached out, and the result was a stunning shoot celebrating art, homewares, and handmade ceramics.
