In my past life, working as a freelance photographer in Sydney, I had the pleasure of working with the wonderful creative team at Tree of Life, shooting their bohemian fashion, jewellery and homewares. We had so much fun at head office and on locations around the city, photographing their pretty bohemian products from India, Napal, Thailand and other exotic locations. I recently guest posted on the Tree of Life Blog about my transition from working 80 hour work weeks in the big city, to slowing down, moving to the country and building my dream home in the incredibly beautiful coastal town of Crescent Head, with my fiance, James.

Photo Shoot for Sustainable Fashion Label Carlie Ballard Carlie Ballard is an inspiring, big-hearted lady who I have now had the pleasure of working with twice.
