A Last Minute Staycation

After a slow and fairly boring start to the school holidays with me trying to get work done while the kids amused themselves at home for a few days I thought it might be nice to treat them to a little night away in a hotel and visit the Werribee Zoo. So I literally rang…

All that Glitters…

I have worked with Karishma from Kholo clothing before and she is so much fun. We instantly clicked two years ago when we met. It should be no surprise that her latest release is the epitome of fun and vibrance. When she said she had some sparkly samples for me I wasn’t sure what to…

48 Hours of Sunshine

As per my previous post, I recently spent a day with amazing artist and all round beautiful person Kate Quinn at her Queensland studio. But before our class I had a bit of time to explore and enjoy a bit of heavenly warm sunshine…

A Day with Artist Kate Quinn…

Sometimes in life people appear just at the right time, almost serendipitously. I found Kate Quinn and her magical work through a mutual connection on Instagram and I instantly fell in love with her vibrant still life masterpieces. When I found out that Kate runs private painting classes I knew I had to get myself…

Mmmmm Chocolate….

Okay now that I’ve got your attention, let’s talk chocolate! More specifically Nomad Chocolate. Yet another incredible small Australian business success story. Nadja Malovic, owner of Nomad, recently reached out to me to create some content for her beautiful hot chocolate range. I never say no to a chance at shooting anything remotely delicious, so…

Obus Winter 2022 x Nina C Sees

Obus recently approached me to create a reel for them as well as some photos for their gorgeous new collection of colour block corduroy pieces and beautiful winter knitwear range. This was SO. MUCH. FUN. Nothing like a colour injection to fight off those winter blues! You can see the full range here: https://obus.com.au/collections/new-arrivals

Variety Hour Lounge Suits Shoot

If you thought only 2020 and 2021 were the year of the tracksuit you were wrong. It’s not over! It’s 2022 and Variety Hour have just delivered the ultimate loungewear collection that is certainly not just for home. In fact it would be a crime not to get out in public in these colourful creations….

Autumn at Forest Glade Gardens…

We just managed to catch the end of Autumn on our visit to Forest Glade Gardens. What a spectacular gem. An amazing, expansive, private garden open to the public every day. Well worth the drive to Mount Macedon.

A Visit to Cactus Country!

We finally made it to Cactus Country. This has been on my visit list for years but it’s not really near anywhere that we would usually go and it’s quite a drive from home. But boy was it worth it! What an amazing place. It was like being in the Arizona desert or going on…

Kabloom… a Morning of Floral Fun!

It was so exciting to be back at one of our favourite festivals after three years. Unfortunately they had to cancel the last two festivals due to old mate covid. What a feast for the senses. This year they had the usual, incredible, colourful rows of flowers as well as a new less structured wildflower…

Wife Made x Nina C Sees

I am always so inspired to get making when Xanthe from Wife Made releases a new sewing pattern. In the past I have photographed her quilts, fairy wings, planters and cushions but this time I got to photograph the most beautiful oven mitts for an oven mitt pattern and tutorial. Xanthe used upcycled woolen blankets…

Ballarat Begonia Festival

This was our second time visiting the Ballarat Begonia Festival and it was as breathtaking as last year. The Begonia display in the conservatory is absolutely spectacular but my particular favourite part of the festival is always the incredible Dahlia patch on display in the gardens. There are so many amazing and unusual varieties. I…

Karla Cola x Nina C Sees

I recently created some images for the launch of Karla Cola’s newest dress… it’s a beauty. Made by hand right here in Australia like all of Karla’s designs. You can see this and more on the Karla Cola website… https://karlacola.com/

Ruby Raisin ‘Dusk Collection’ Shoot

I love shooting content for Mia at Ruby Raisin. It feels so good to be working with a brand that epitomises sustainable fashion making things locally in Sydney with lots of beautiful unique vintage fabrics. Here is a sneak peek of a shoot I recently completed for her new collection that has just been released…

Bobo and Boo x Nina C Sees

Goodbye plastic plates and hello gorgeous plant-based dinnerware from my friends at Bobo and Boo. We have loads of Bobo and Boo filling the kitchen cupboards from over the years and the kids still use them daily. They wash so well. I recently took some photos of the new Bobo and Boo cutlery range…. you…

Frankie Gusti x Nina C Sees

I always get excited when the gorgeous Genna from Frankie Gusti Candles asks if I’m free to create some content for her. These candles are total joy. Stunningly presented and they smell so delicious. This shoot included the new artist series where Frankie Gusti collaborates with amazing Australian artists to create the most mind blowingly…

Magical Merimbula…

The Sapphire Coast along the Southernmost point of the New South Wales coast has been on my travel wish list for a while now. When I found out that my kids had two curriculum days in a row after the recent long weekend it seemed like the perfect opportunity to venture a bit further than…

Interview with Obus for International Women’s Day…

What an absolute honour to be featured on the Obus Clothing blog for International Women’s Day. I feel totally undeserving with all the amazing women around the world doing incredible things but at the same time I’m doing my best to play a small part in raising the next generation of humans that will change…

Papu x Nina C Sees

One bonus about working with a Finnish label is that their ‘Spring’ collection looks decidedly more like an Australian ‘Winter’ collection thanks to their lingering snowy weather and coolish Spring temps which is lucky because creating content for companies in opposing time zones and seasons can be tricky at times. We are heading into Autumn/Winter…
