I’ve started doing a little gratefulness round up I’ve started doing a little gratefulness round up on stories on some Friday’s, but this one felt like it needed to be made into a carousel. Scroll across for some fun moments I’m grateful for and things you’ll love. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Love my new @bohemian.traders dress! Founded by Emily Berlach here in Australia means you’re supporting an Australian family biz.

@robbii_designs such a beautiful store and worth a visit even if you have to make a drive!

My beautiful Mum who made this doll for me to gift to someone. Mum has made a lot of our sourdough, and handmade things for our shoots this year. There is nothing Grandma Rosie can’t do!

@saide.au candle looking beautiful on a very special shoot. Grateful for the independent brands that collaborate with me on our shoots!

My new @walnutmelbourne shoot day shoes - I’m trying to re-invigorate my own style and so far I am loving it! Still working on being more colourful.

Shoot prep that had me dreaming of beachy holidays!

Made it into @homebeautiful’s top 100 rooms with @hannahadamsproperty 🥹

My latest marketplace find that cost $15 and a day on YouTube learning how to re-upholster it with fabric I had spare.

Surf checks! Water and sky was blue. Wind was fringe destroying. Swell was biggish. ✔️

Ten minute tea breaks in the studio with Sarah and Em. ✨

@saltliving shoot props in the studio thanks to @bylaurenhorton 💙

Another reinvigorated outfit, old @sportsgirl dress made over with a new cardi. 🎈

Rainforest walks with my not so little boy. 🥹

Grateful for our beautiful studio!

Got to work with @hannahpuechmarin lots this year and I’ve loved it!

Cute chats with my son who has discovered messenger stickers. 😆
One of the highlights of the past few months was b One of the highlights of the past few months was being invited to style this beautifully restored Queenslander on the shores of Lake Weyba for its editorial debut in @countrystylemag.

I first heard about Matt and Bec’s vision for the home years ago and knew it was something special. After a long renovation journey, stepping into the finished space was a joy — it is obvious in every detail that so much thought and consideration has been put into this project to reflect their family, their story, and the way they live.

As I said in a story I posted last week, I’ve star As I said in a story I posted last week, I’ve started re-styling Wholehearted Studio’s website and touch points, as well as my house and me!

So as promised here is some behind-the-scenes of what I’ve been working on right now! First up is our website.

I hope you enjoy hearing about some of the thinking behind our website imagery curation. Make sure you jump on our website to really drink it all in. 

Getting to work on the creative direction for our studio has been so exciting! 

*Also enjoy the beginning of my Muttley laugh, it was too good to remove it. 😆
My @countrystylemag came in the mail today and so My @countrystylemag came in the mail today and so I worked in my home office especially so I could hear my postie coming down the road. Enjoy these bts from the shoot day too.

Big thanks to @bec_adss (whose house was on our last @countrystylemag cover!) for our subscription gift. Front covers are a big deal, so it was time to celebrate! 🤎

At the beginning of every year I know about a thir At the beginning of every year I know about a third of the work we have coming in, the rest is unknown. That other two thirds? Well that requires a bit of hope, trust, hard work, and saying my prayers each night that good things, projects and people will cross our path! 

And tonight’s one of those times where good things have happened, and I get to share that we’re on the cover this month of Australian Country Style magazine! And for a stunning Sunshine Coast home too. @diamondcottageblooms has been so lovingly restored and renovated, and this issue is filled with lots of other beautiful homes and photos.

If you know me, you'll know I like my house to loo If you know me, you'll know I like my house to look (almost!) shoot-ready every day. 

I've tried embracing the "messy creative" approach, but it never works for me. Instead of feeling freer, I just feel more stressed. So I keep coming back to my favourite saying (which I picked up off my real Dad who used to do the merchandising in his music store), "tidy house, tidy mind!"

And so it made total sense to use this gift for good and make my home a shoot location. 

We’ve hosted the likes of Ziggy Alberts, James Lane, Carlotta + Gee, Flint, Salt Living (just this week!) and Petal & Pup. It’s been so exciting to see my home reimagined through other people’s eyes and creativity (not to mention the bonus of being able to blame a photo shoot to justify my fastidiousness at home). 

If you'd like to use @oxleighhouse for your next shoot, send me a message or book via the link in our bio.
