Creative Direction & Styling

Wholehearted Studio curates personalised and beautiful photo shoot, social media, and interior projects. We take a personalised approach to uncover what makes our clients truly unique.

We begin by crafting a strategic creative direction brief, curating visually compelling stories that authentically highlight each client's unique identity, empowering them to present themselves wholeheartedly.

Working for some of Australia’s most renowned brands, independent businesses, and magazines, we specialise in working with business owners and homeowners across the interiors and creative sectors.

While we're based on the Sunshine Coast, in South-East Queensland, our services extend Australia-wide.
