Not every home needs to be styled from scratch. Sometimes it’s about working with what’s already there, bringing in a light layer of props, and knowing how to bring it to life on camera.

This shoot was a perfect example of that.

’s home is layered in the best way — with colour, art, texture, and quirky pieces collected over time. Nothing feels forced or overly styled; just really personal, relaxed and well-considered.

Our role was to step into that and refine it for the lens. Shifting things, simplifying where needed, adding where it made sense, and constantly stepping back to make sure it all felt right.

Because that’s the difference between styling for real life vs. styling for a shoot; it’s not about perfection, it’s about capturing a feeling. Ideally, a feeling of calm… even when there are three kids, one on the way, and animals that still need to be fed.

If you’ve got a shoot coming up and want it to feel natural and elevated, but true to you, we’d love to be part of it. Email us to find out more about our Creative Direction and Styling services.

Take a scroll through the studio with us and let your eyes feast on the cosy style we’ve created; layered with marketplace finds, homewares, sale treasures, an antique New Zealand table Dad helped me transport, and our *beautiful studio team.

*Myself included, because my hair did, in fact, look quite nice that day, lol.

What an honour it was to have our Figtree Project featured in Australian Home Beautiful magazine.

Figtree is a home I’m incredibly proud of. Working closely with our clients, we oversaw the furniture, art and object curation, as well as the shoot styling.

A home that reflects them, their children and grandchildren, with their family story woven into every detail.

If you’re wanting your home interior thoughtfully styled and photographed, we’d love to chat about how we can help bring your story to life.

The most meaningful before and after I've worked on! Scroll through to see the very beginning.

Happy Mother's Day for this weekend, to my Mum, all other Mother figures, and all the beautiful people in my life that help me be a better Mum.

The brightest, happiest bedroom for two very special little boys. I loved the handmade name sign their mum, Hannah, created for them; such a thoughtful, personal touch.

P.S. Swipe across for the sweetest end to the day: a very happy horse-patting session. 🥹

Inspired by a coastal artwork by of a French shoreline, the palette was drawn directly from the art itself. Every layer of the room was then considered in response; extending its tones into a cohesive, restful retreat.

The most beautiful little bedroom for two special little ones. The are so many cute details in this space, it quickly became my favourite room on this shoot.

P.S. Make sure you swipe across to see the antique bedside hidden doll house. 🥹

Earlier this year, I found myself thinking more about the noise we’re all met with every time we pick up our phones.

So much of what we scroll past isn’t meaningful — it doesn’t really stay with you, or add anything of value. Things move quickly, and our inboxes are constantly full.

It made me pause and ask: if this were the last newsletter someone read, or the last post they came across, would it offer something worthwhile?

That question has inspired a whole new approach to how I share.

It’s less about polished headlines and more about the moments behind the scenes; the process, the heart behind decisions, the details that often go unseen.

Think of it as an open journal (like Substack perhaps; but free?) — part love letter to the work, part insight into how it all comes together.
