Welcome back to Episode 27 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my pregnancy journey so far!
I have been on a podcast hiatus, for many reasons really. The main one was that as the months started to pass, I became less motivated to hop online onto the podcast and chat to my incredible peers and colleagues. Sometimes you need to take a break for yourself. I am also in the middle of launching a new brand (that story to come soon!)!!! AND of course growing a human!!! Lots going on and happening in my life at the moment.
In this candid episode, I go into the details of my pregnancy journey so far, how I have adjusted to work, my plans for work when I am a new mum, and what I have been investing in during my pregnancy for myself and our baby. I am actually heading back into work 8-10 weeks after birth, which is excitng and I think needs to be normalised as a business owner.

Welcome back to Episode 26 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my chat 'Behind the Blog 'Ivory Tribe' with co-founders Jo & Nat.' Jo & Nat created Ivory Tribe back in 2016, and it was an instant hit with Wedding Vendors and Couples getting married here in Victoria, Australia. Originally focused in regional Victoria, Jo & Nat saw a lull in the market, and wanted to bring in vibrant, positive energy and advice that is tangible for all their followers. Quickly they widened to Melbourne and beyond, and Ivory Tribe is now Victoria's favourite wedding blog!!!
Jo & Nat are both celebrants, which brings another perspective to what they have to share and what they bring to the blog. Having real life experience in the industry, chatting to couples daily, being a part of weddings weekly, they are totally immersed in the wedding world. Having this perspective is credible to their brand and what they share with their hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram & Facebook. Not to mention, they reply to emails in minutes, are so kind and approachable, don't hesitate to help your business gain credibility and are just genuinely lovely women.
They also have created an incredible Wedding Planning Book called 'Bride Business', a functional and classy planning book that helps you determine your wedding budget, vendors & finer details all in a streamlined way! I seriously adored this candid chat with Jo & Nat, they share such intimate details about their businesses, and their personal lives, I hope you can hear their passion as much as I could!

Welcome back to Episode 25 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my chat 'Real Talk with Jackson Grant, Photographer & Videographer.' I share some personal news in this Episode, be sure to listen to the Introduction if you'd like to know!!! Reach out if you would like me to create a Solo Episode on my experience so far! Disclaimer: there is some swearing in this Episide, not reccommend unless you are over 18 years of age. Growing up in Albury/Wodonga, the border of central NSW and VIC, picking up a camera from his mum as a teenager, he started shooting for fun at home. He soon realised that he needed to move to the big smoke, he moved down to Melbourne over 8 years ago. Here, he really found his identify, and feels like Melbourne is the place where he draws his inspiration from. Surrounded by music, friends and being proud of his extraverted personality, Jackson has shaped his Wedding & Commercial Business that represents him to perfection. You can see his vibes as you enter his instagram profile, or website, he really shapes his own path, and looks towards fine art & documentary photographers for inspiration. In our chat, we discuss how he works with his clients to create magic on their wedding day, working with vendors and venues to make it worthwhile for everyone's end result - but mostly the couple, how he stays productive when a lot of editing needs to get done, and our pet hates and loves when it comes to the wedding industry. He is such a positive and vibrant person, I really enjoyed our chat, and I hope you do too!!! You will get a lot out of it if you are a creative photographer or videographer.

Bossy Copywriting Welcome back to Episode 24 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my chat 'Director & Head Writer of Bossy Copywriting, Alyce Greer'. After finishing her Journalism Degree, Alyce moved to Melbourne and won a role with Westfield as a Creative Writer & Blogger in 2010, creating digital blog content across Westfield Centres Victoria wide, Alyce found her calling before she even knew it! Fast forward to 2016, she created her Agency, 'Bossy Copywriting' and quickly flew to success. Her resume speaks bounds, producing work for Fashion Journal, Solid State, Running Bare, Melbourne Central, just to name a few. Her creative approach to branding and copy stands out from the rest, it is authentic, bold, fun, playful and unique. Bossy is a copywriting supergroup, with writers from all around Australia & the world. Carefully assessing each project before assigning it to the most suitable writer/s.
Directly from the website 'We use strategy, psychology and creativity to develop unique voices and personalities that humanise brands. We flex our journalism and freelance writing experience to write blogs, articles, e-newsletters and other digital content. We shape words to create compelling website copywriting, from very-cheeky About Us pages to surprisingly-cheeky FAQ pages. And we practice our best editing and proofreading skills, so you can stop Googling where the f***ing apostrophe is supposed to go.'
I met Alyce in 2016 at Westfield, around the same time she launched Bossy, and got married to Ben Greer who also is the mastermind behind the Bossy branding and marketing material. We had so much fun shooting fashion content together!

Welcome back to Episode 23 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my chat 'All Things Weddings with, Laura of Wanderlust Creative!' After an amazing career in merchandising & event management with one of Australia's largest surf & lifestyle companies, Laura decided to take a leap and create her own Wedding, Design and Styling company over 6 years ago! Call it perfect timing, or a perfect storm, with all the new roles in her life and resistance of not wanting to go back into a corporate role, she decided to study at the Australian Wedding Planner Institute, and Wanderlust Creative was born.
I met Laura when we worked on Tess & Josh's Wedding together back in 2019. It was such a fun day! We discuss how she fell in love with Weddings & Events, we touch on her journey and transition becoming a business owner, her life on Victoria's Surf Coast and of course her incredible Podcast the 'You & Me Podcast'. Laura's energy is contagious, and I hope her personality shines in our chat!

Alice Mahran
Welcome to Episode 22 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share my chat with Photographer Alice Mahran, on Business & Motherhood!
Alice was born in Syria and moved to Holland with her family when she was only 3 years old. Growing up in Holland, she discovered her passion for observing people, documenting people and learning their stories. As a teenager she picked up a camera and started shooting documentary style portraits and narratives all around Europe. She began to travel the world, and after an encounter with her now husband, Patrick Justin Frischknecht in Australia, they fell in love and moved to Sydney together (after some long distance which Alice says isn't as romantic as you would think!)
Their little love, Nova is their 2 year old daughter who is a big part of who they are, their values and and Alices' inspiration for staying true to her creative self and goals. 7 years later, they still reside in Sydney Australia, and are now moving back to Alices' roots in Holland to spend the European Summer there, and Australian Summer back here. A truly exciting time ahead.
I met Alice in Melbourne 5 years ago when I helped shoot a beautiful Wedding with her. Her presence really stuck with me, she has a quiet nature, that is embellished, polished and significant in her work. We discuss how she fell in love with Wedding Photography, and why she loves it so much, we touch on her journey and transition becoming a mother, how business and family life blends and blurs into one. Alice is named as one of the 5 best wedding photographers in Sydney by Elle & Harper Bazaar. This Episode is truly a very honest and open chat, and I hope you get as much out of it as I did!

Chelsea Brice Styling Welcome to Episode 21 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. Thanks so much for being patient while I had a 2 week break from the podcast! This week, I am excited to share Creating a Personal Styling & Consulting Empire with Chelsea Brice. Chelsea came from a corporate background and decided in her 30s that she wanted something more. After a Google search, she stumbled on Personal Fashion Styling, signed up to the Australian Styling Institute and never looked back. Chelsea is so good at what she does, she creates a safe space for Men & Women to find their perfect wardrobes within their timeframes & budgets. During COVID, after time spent in stillness, she decided to take the leap and hire 3 new Stylists to join her team! Now there are 4 ladies who are a part of her Empire, and they are such a dream team.
I met Chelsea while working on the AW Styling Campaign for Westfield in 2017, and we have stayed connected ever since. She is a dream to be around, and has and magnetic energy about her, with her smile, wit and humble attitude, there is no reason you won't feel loved and appreciated around her. She also shares a top secret project that is in the works at the moment, and I am so excited for you to tune in and feel inspired by her story!

Judith Weizman of Toko Events Welcome to Episode 20 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share Bringing Ideas to Life & Planning Weddings with Judith of Toko Events! Judith became fascinated with Weddings and Events when she was asked to style a friends wedding! We have worked together on a few Weddings in the past, (including Tricia & Hieus!!!!). She has a magical aura and energy and brings a sense of peace to each Wedding. She is super passionate about coordinating people, and geeking out on spreadsheets and budgets.
Along with her Husband and her trusty team of creatives, she is a pillar of success in Melbournes Wedding Scene. All the beautiful imagery I have used in her promotional images are actually not photographed by me for one of the first times in the shows existence, they are shot by the ladies of 'It's Beautiful Here'. You will see all the INCREDIBLE weddings she has worked on, on her website, one of my favourites is fellow Melbourne Photographer, Jai Long!

Tyson Bertoncello of 'I Like Too Much' Welcome to Episode 19 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share 'Chef, Tyson Bertoncello, on creating his empire, 'I Like Too Much'. Tyson Bertoncello started his passion for culinary when he was 16 years old, embarking on his first Head Chef role after deciding this would be his career. 6 years later, he created the incredible empire with his brothers, O.MY Restaurant in Beaconsfield Melbourne, winning several awards including the 'AGFG Chefs Hat'. After a tipping point in the restaurant with his brothers, he realised he needed to embark on his own journey, so he did.
He opened Car Megamart Cafe which specialised in incredible burgers, Sneaky Cheese was born soon after, a development of the burgers, and an extension of the beaconsfield pub today. After a 3 month trip to Italy, he soon discovered his true passion was in Italian Cuisine. As you can tell by his surname, it's also a part of his heritage.
'I Like Too Much' was born in 2018, and it simply is as literal as the business name. All of the things that Tyson 'likes too much'! Starting as a Beer, Wine & Spirits Mobile Truck, to Pinot & Pasta Classes, to an online Shop & Delivery Service during COVID. Tyson really has developed the brand to what it is known for now. The 'Pinot & Pasta Parties' are a big hit! Even during the lockdown in Melbourne he created online classes and did several livestreams showcasing how easy making pasta at home really is.
He has created an empire, with the help of his digital marketing business & life partner, Katrina, their customers keep coming back for more! He has life experience beyond his years and it shows in the passion in his tone of voice, and his upbringing growing up surrounded by his Dads passion for growing food on the farm.

Lainie Harrison of Temple Road Welcome to Episode 18 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘a Meditative Journey on Temple Road with Lainie Harrison'. Lainie is one of my best friends in the world. We grew up together, went to the same highschool, and instantly clicked. We have been on different paths, mine being photography, finding my passion and purpose when I was just a teenager & launching my business straight out of university.
Lainie didn't take that path, instead took a longer time to find her calling, and it is incredible how she stayed focused on her goal of launching Temple Road. She made the move from Melbourne to Byron Bay in June 2019, and her life has never been the same. At the same time, I moved from my childhood home to Melbourne Bayside. It's funny how our lives have always had parallels, different stages, but always intertwined. I suppose that's why we have maintained our friendship for over 12 years!
In this Episode, we chat about how she found her passion in spiritual healing, what forms she practices on a daily & weekly basis, and what Temple Road will encompass and become. Her story will resonate with a lot of you, and her voice is truly calming and grounding. To be honest, it is just one of our normal phone conversations, which we did a lot in 2020 when Melbourne was in lockdown & continue to do now we live in different parts of Australia.

Welcome to Episode 17 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘A career in Law, Fashion & Styling with Donna Askew of Foundstyled'. Established in 2014, Foundstyled is a freelance styling consultancy established by Donna Askew. Donna loves to style, whether it's people, fashion, products, places or spaces. People often ask what a styling consultant does and really the answer is it's ever-changing. Anticipating, responding and evolving, adapting mediums and approaches to meet client needs. Imagine the lovely Donna, doing this, and at the same time, being a mother, a wife, and a lawyer. Recently, Donna put ‘Author’ on her list of achievements.
Her story inspired me after we worked together on a few commercial shoots. In November, we met up and did a fantastic photoshoot for her branding! She really has such a passionate heart and mind, she was born to inspire and help people!

Welcome to Episode 16 on the Blossom For Each Day Podcast:
'My intentions for the Podcast in 2021 & my experience moving from Canon to Sony Cameras!'
This year, I want to re-introduce the Podcast with a new routine! I had an extended break, longer than expected that’s for sure. But during this break a lot happened & life will never be the same.
I am now living in the moment, and investing time into myself, and my family, because I realised that I was giving a lot of my power and life energy away to other people. I am super grateful to have had the best summer break, we went away, spent a lot of time on the sand and in the water, had so many great catch ups with friends & family… as soon as Melbourne was out of lockdown, I have been non stop shooting, so it’s been a real ride.
I decided to do the Manifestation Babe Academy, which has shifted so many things into gear & I have 16 weeks left to go. I really can’t wait to see what comes to fruition out of this. If anyone has done or heard of an intention ceremony… I did it for the first time recently and it was so powerful, I instantly felt a shift! I am learning all about the manifestation process, and how to focus on manifesting positive things only. Not just for myself and my life, but those around me, and anyone who crosses my path. Including you, listening to this podcast! Otherwise known as The Collective.
Now I am back, I want to do a Book Recommendation every few Episodes. There were a few books of the summer for me, but one that stood out and I really enjoyed was ‘Honeysuckle Season’. A fictional novel, published in September 2020. I enjoyed it because the main character is a Wedding Photographer & it follows her family tree. It’s a book about generations of secrets, of loss, love and how it all intertwines in a small American town on the property of Woodmont Estate. I gave it was a great summer read, one that still provokes your thoughts, but is easy enough to enjoy while sipping tea or coffee by the garden, pool or beach. I particularly like novels that go from past to present tense, and this did that perfectly. It even has good ratings on Goodreads.
Another element to this season on the Podcast is sharing more about my business and photography. I want to share some insights when it comes to the Equipment I use, and in today's Episode, I discuss my change from Canon to Sony! It was a big change I made when I decided to ditch the DSLR and move into Mirrorless.
Thank you so much for listening to my Podcast, I appreciate you SO much. If you have a breakthrough after listening to this episode, or watching the videos, or if you also loved the change from Sony to Canon, please get in touch with me on cassandra@blossomdaisycreative.com & share your story or experience! Until next time, Love Cass xx

Welcome to the last Episodes on the Blossom For Each Day Podcast this year: 'How to Manifest Your Goals in 2021!'
Happy New Year Everyone, see you in 2021! I will be back in early February.
2020 has shown us that everything in life is uncertain. We can’t control external things that are outside of ourselves, the only thing that is certain and that we can control, is within ourselves. Our thoughts, our actions and our words. You can control your inner world, your inner reality or as put, your consciousness.
If you don’t set up a plan on where you’re going, you will end up going to random places, at which won’t be fulfilling, and won’t make your soul happy. If you’re planning on listening to this episode, it is probably for a reason, your subconscious mind liked the title or was drawn to hearing my two cents.
If you don’t do the work that is required on your inner self or consciousness, you will continue to be a reflection of the environment around you. Potentially, negative past memories & habits, those that no longer serve you, are still impacting you on a subconscious level today.
Possible reasons you may have failed at achieving your goals in the past;
Simply put, manifesting is achieving a goal or desire that you are thinking, feeling, acting and believing about yourself or your life. It’s about managing your internal reality so you can influence your external reality. When you manifest your goal or desire, you are therefore in alignment with your highest self.
The Process to Manifestation;
The Segments of Goal Setting that you should focus on; CHOOSE 31. Career/Business
2. Finance/Wealth
3. Friends/Family
4. Fun/Recreational/Entertainment
5. Health/Fitness
6. Love Life/Romance
7. Personal Growth/Spiritual Development
8. Physical Environment
In 2021 mine are; Personal Growth & Spiritual Development, Finance & Wealth, and Friends & Family.
How to write your GOALS;Put them on your wall, on your phone, anywhere you will see them!

Welcome to Episode 14 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘Pilates, Physiotherapy & Business with the Owner of Body Lab, Kate Mcgillivray'.
Kate grew up wanting to be a classical ballerina, however after a huge spin of events (everything happens for a reason), she ended up on the path of Pilates & Physiotherapy. Her work ethic, energy and positivity shines in all she does, from owning and managing her studio, Body Lab in Armadale Melbourne, to flying around the world with the Australian Gymnastics Team, to her recent adventure of becoming a mother.
Since 2008, Kate has worked extensively at the elite level and is the current Senior Physiotherapist for the Australian Women's Artistic Gymnastics Team. Kate is currently working as consultant Sports Physiotherapist at the Victorian Institute of Sport as part of their performance services team. Her extensive elite level experience also includes medical management of dancers and athletes at the Victorian Institute of Sport, Diving Australia, Diving Victoria, The Australian Ballet and Tennis Australia. More recently Kate accompanied the Australian team on their successful 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games campaign, 2017 and 2018 World Gymnastics Championships and 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 World Cups.
We met when she first opened Body Lab in 2014, through my photography mentor, Ying Ang (thanks Ying!) We instantly clicked, and the images we captured in that first campaign are hugely used throughout Body Lab's website & Mobile App.
Body Lab is a clinical Pilates studio that also hosts Physiotherapy, Myothreapy and Pre-pointe dance assessments. They specilise in so many elements, with each instructor carefully picked and equally as passionate as Kate. Kate has adapted her passions in Pilates & Dance, and created an atmosphere of healing and wellness that is a beautiful mix of holistic and western medicine. When I am in the Lab, it has such a positive and happy atmosphere, the energy bounces off the walls and you are instantly taken on a journey to finding your strengths.
I adore working with Kate & her team, I feel a part of the Body Lab family!

Welcome to Episode 12 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘Leaving the Corporate Ladder & Finding Success with Alex Tempany'.
Alex has been creating jewelry since 2001. Over that time, she's worked & explored the world, constantly taking the path less travelled. Alex and her team craft each piece by hand in Melbourne from precious metals, stones and antique artefacts such as coins. We crossed paths when she was getting married... you guessed it, I was her Wedding Photographer!
We had such a ball on the lead up and on the day of her Wedding, we instantly clicked, we giggled the whole way through each step of the process, of course, Tori Allen Events styled the whole event, you can see the feature here. At that point in time, Alex also transitioned into her Jewelry business full time. Almost two years later, she has created a brand that is established, loved and admired by her clients far and wide, creating bespoke pieces and collections that are inspired by her experiences and collaborations.
Recently becoming a mother, Alex has entered a new phase of her life, and in result, her business. It's a super fun and exciting conversation, with Alex opening up about how she found her passion in Jewelry making, to what led her to dive into her business full time after years of contemplating taking the plunge!

Welcome to Episode 11 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘Flowers, Styling and Positive Parcels with Tori Allen Events’.
Tori Allen Events (TAE) started from humble beginnings, Tori created her Styling Company in her first home after she discovered her passion for floristry in her career as a Visual Merchandiser at Manon Bis in Melbourne. Tori threw herself in the business deep end. Quickly, what she thought would be a pop up store, became a styling empire. Tori is someone who can adapt, inspire, and manifest, anything she puts her mind to. Her team of creatives include florists, designers and creative directors.... who are all artists and business makers in their own right.
The TAE team have a timelessly warm and elegant touch to each event, where it be a Wedding, Corporate, Commercial Activation or Design, they work in full circle, involved in each step of the process, and coming together to put the brief to life. Last year they expanded to Sydney. In recent times, Tori and her team have created another Empire known as 'Positive Parcels', delivering curated parcels & flower arrangements, spreading positivity through the community & flipping the narrative to help hundreds of people spread love to those who need it most during the pandemic.
I was first commissioned to photograph one of their stunning events in 2016, and we have worked together ever since! Photographing Weddings, Activations, Branding for ‘Positive Parcels’, and recently, a beautiful home portrait session with Tori and her family, celebrating Mother’s Day. Tori is someone who leads her team into success, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the TAE team over the years.

Today marks Episode 10 of the Podcast… starting this journey in August, and coming from a background of Photography, I was familiar with the programs, and audio recording, however it has still been a learning curve for me, I have had to dive out of my zone of comfort, and put my voice out there for the world to hear. I have loved the challenge so far, and aim to keep it up in the months and years to come!
Today’s Episode is not an interview, after putting it to my followers on Instagram, I decided I wanted to create a conversation for all the business owners out there. Those who are either just starting out in business, or are transitioning into their business full time. I am going to start from simple Tips, and move into refined Tips that have helped me save money, and increase my cash-flow in business over the years.

Welcome to Episode 9 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you: Building a successful Wedding Business with Photographer, Alex Motta.
Coming from a technical & commercial background in photography and diving into his wedding business full time, Alex has a whole lot of experience and understanding in the Melbourne Wedding Industry.
Alex and his wife, along with their daughter reside in Melbourne and are the faces of his Photography Business 'Motta Weddings' & 'Motta Photos'. Coming from an Italian background and cultural upbringing, he has a love for food, travel, and a compassion to build relationships with his couples and clients.

Welcome to episode 8 of Blossom for Each Day Podcast. I am excited to share with you ‘Growing flowers and living your dream with Kristy of Soho Rose Farm’.
Coming from a floristry background of 10 years, and holding a passion for all-things flowers, nature and animals, I suppose the fact that Kristy started her very own Rose Farm at her husbands’ fifth family generation farm makes total sense.
Raising their children on the property in Dean Victoria Australia, and moving from Melbourne almost 4 years ago, what you would imagine as a ‘dream’ is Kristy’s reality. While her husband Brock attends to the potatoes and cattle that the farms paddocks hold, Kristy, along with her sister and her beautiful team work from the family shed that was built in 1880. The light passes through the large doorway, where the florists work to bundle the flowers each day, and for each order. The flowers are distributed directly to wholesalers, florists, and the Melbourne Flower Market. It is a family effort, and a lifestyle that is embedded in the success of the business.
Call it perfect timing, or fate… after commuting from Melbourne to Dean before her move up to the farm, Kristy saw an opportunity. The already established Soho Rose Farm in Drysdale and it’s 8000 roses were up for sale, the only problem: they had to be uprooted and transported to their new home 129km’s away!

Welcome to Episode 7 of Blossom For Each Day Podcast, with Co-Founder Julia Marget of Happy Collective!
Happy Collective was founded by three friends, Emma, Julia & Anthea, Emma & Anthea gained an opportunity to exclusively stock a product on their already established and hugely successful Beauty Empire Osmosis, so when they realised this was something they couldn’t let go of, the product gave the girls the ammunition they needed to launch Happy Collective! An idea that had been bubbling away in the background but needed Julia to come to the party and help bring it to life.
Happy Collective is a platform designed by women, for women, it is a chance to discuss topics that are taboo, and create a space for women to engage and thrive together. Launching just last month, Happy Collective has already made such a positive impact with their first line of products ‘The Smile Makers’.
Recently being featured on Broadsheet, and with epic branding by Dot Dot Dash, there truly is nothing to stop them becoming an influential community brand. In my conversation with Julia, we discuss the details of the launch of Happy Collective, as well as their plans for the company in the future. Their vision to create a positive, fun and thriving environment for women to connect and feel safe about their sexuality, sensuality and feminine power.

Welcome to Episode 5 of Blossom For Each Day Podcast: Meet Australia's Youngest Female Mayor, Cr Georgina Oxley
At only 25 years old, Cr Georgina Oxley is the Mayor of City of Kingston, one of Melbourne’s beautiful bayside cities that is known for its pristine beaches, community facilities, gorgeous cafes & resturants and industrial areas. Being a local resident myself, I began to notice her ability to resonate with the younger generation and women in the community, so of course, I wanted to have her on the Podcast for an authentic conversation.
You can hear her excitement and passion for all she does as she reflects on her years and experience in council, community and business. In 2016 Georgina was elected into local government, and two years later, at only 23 years old, she made history and was elected as the youngest female mayor in Australia! Incredible huh!? We discuss so many topics, from broad issues, to small, but impactful community programs she has initiated.
In addition to her impressive resume, she is also a Business Owner. She co-owns and operates 'Designer Plants' with her partner. A curated collection of artificial plants distributed to commercial & residential locations worldwide.

Pip Howards’ career has passed over 15 years, working with brands like, Dunmore Farm, Kate James, Apiary Made, The Wine Farm & Tamsin's Table. Pip is an established Graphic Designer & Illustrator, who creates organic and timeless designs for sustainable and ethical businesses Australia wide.
Pip & I connected in 2016, there was an instant energy, a sense of power, yet calmness. She did my business branding soon-after, when things moved into full motion for Blossom Daisy Creative. The process was so much fun, she really understood my essence and my inner self, she translated it perfectly onto paper. Recently going through a new phase of her life, Pip & I collaborated and I photographed portraits of her on the beach. The idea she posed to me, was her ‘Rebirth’, and I am excited to chat more about it all in this episode!

Welcome to my exciting guest episode: Creating an Empire with your Sister, The Directors of Dot Dot Dash.
Shirin & Diba are the directors of Dot Dot Dash. A Melbourne based creative marketing and event agency that Shirin created just over 13 years ago. Diba joined only a year later.
Shirin & I met when I was commissioned to photograph a project for Dot Dot Dash in 2015. We were introduced by our mutual friend, Mel, the owner of Melbourne based Cecilia Fox. Since then, after I myself realised that Diba & Shirin were indeed sisters, we have worked together on so many more amazing events, including the work we do for Shopping Centers, Activations, Events and Spring Racing. Recently, we also collaborated on an incredible project 'Isolation Creation'. We donated all profits to the Indigenous Literacy Fund in Australia. It was really fun to see how they put together a brief from start to finish. Diba called me and checked in each step of the way, and Shirin took the creative styling direction on shoot day! For once, I got to see how great they worked as a team, as an overall process, not just arriving to see the final moments come together.
Some of their recent design projects include; Crown IMG Australian Tennis Party, The Park and Birdcage Activations for Flemington VRC, The BVLGARI Italian Film Festival, Chadstone A/W Launch, various brand activations at VAMFF, & Tom Organic Splendor in the Grass.... just to name a few.
