Sandi Carter Creates

16/09/2026

So apparently I’m not very good at going to a headshot session and just getting headshots. 😂

While Katrina from Accent Photography had me in front of the camera, I thought it would be silly not to sneak in a few photos for Sandi Carter Creates too.

So out came the apron, the earrings and some of my creations…

And I’m so glad they did!

I spend far more time behind the scenes making things than I do in front of a camera with them, so it’s rather lovely to have some photos that bring me and Sandi Carter Creates together.

A huge thank you to Katrina for capturing this side of me too — and for making the whole thing such fun. ❤️

Now I just need to get back to actually making things…

🌱 Mmm… here’s a question! 🌱

I’ve been playing around with a new product — cheeky little plant markers 😂🪴

Things like “Grow positive thoughts”, “Emotional Support Plant”, “I thrive on neglect” and “Sorry I can’t, my plants need me”.

But now I’m stuck… 🤔

Painted or unpainted?

Do you love the natural laser-cut wood look 🌿, or do you think a splash of colour makes them more fun? 🎨

Tell me what you’d choose! 👇

And yes… there are definitely more cheeky sayings to come! 😜

Well, this was a lovely surprise! ✨📸

I recently went along to the PeopleInk Lunch & Leverage and came home having won a photo session with the very talented Katrina Johns from Accent Photography!

As I was leaving, Katrina took a quick selfie on my phone - and honestly… if this is what the photos look like from a quick cellphone snap, I cannot WAIT to show you what she does with the proper photo session! 😍

I’ve been meaning to get some updated photos, so this feels like perfect timing.

Huge thanks to Katie from People Ink for arranging a fabulous event and to Katrina for the amazing prize package.
