I shot in my own studio at Mooloolaba on the Sunny Coast for many years and got bored with working within 4 walls, however this shoot with CEO @cecily_mcguckin has certainly resparked my passion. I highly recommend @studio_sobu for an awesome studio with lots of variety. Thank you @aloca_au for your platform making these places accessible to us creatives! 📸

If I had half the confidence of this woman, I would be shooting in New York. Nah, no chance, New York too busy for me and the people are always in a hurry. It is so nice to observe the confidence some people exude and admire it though. Needless to say this was an easy shoot with @cecily_mcguckin CEO Magazine’s Female CEO 2026 / Finalist: The CEO Magazine Executive 2025 / CEO of the Year 2020 / Only Female CEO in steel distribution in Australia photo shoot. Makeup & hairstyling also by yours truly. Thank you @aloca_au for the stunning choices of shoot locations ✨

How spectacular does this shimmery bronze blouse look, especially with a gold belt and cream skirt! Rather proud of my styling if I must say, haha. Makeup & hairstyling also by mwah - One Stop Shop - Stylist, Makeup artist, hairdresser & photographer (Or rather fussy biatch, perfectionist, control freak 😅) Thank you @studio_sobu & @aloca_au for the awesome, colourful studio!

Shae had been recommended to me, and I had used some her high-quality images in my work as a designer well before I contacted her. So, I had high hopes and expectations. From the moment we first spoke, it was obvious Shae was creative, talented and enthusiastic. This first impression lasts, it is exactly who Shae is, dynamic in personality, very professional to associate with, and clearly extremely capable in her chosen field. Our experience with Shae was excellent, and so were the results.

Shae Giles excels in bringing a brand, and personal profile, to life. She expertly communicates through photography and visual storytelling that deeply connects a brand with its audience. Shae understands the vital part imagery and photography play in aligning a brand’s vision with it’s communication. From the moment you engage Shae in your brand vision, she adds rich value from research to location scouting, venue negotiation, wardrobe advice and expert direction right throughout your shoot. she’s also a creative unicorn offering impeccable and natural hair and makeup services. As a brand strategist, I’ve briefed many brand photographers and creatives and Shae just gets it. She’s responsive, efficient and one of the loveliest people to spend time with. I highly recommend Shae for any aspect of brand photography, styling and visual communication.

Shae, I’m so glad I’ve met you. You are an amazing talent with a beautiful personality. Your professionalism and creativity is second to none. I will never forget this experience. Your relaxed nature made me feel so comfortable. Thank you again for the effort you’ve invested in my shoot, it’s made me feel so positive about the start of my journey. Thank you so much for the photos, they are amazing and you are.

Before having photography done with Shae, I literally had just a shell of a website. But that all changed after my profile and product shots at her studio, where she captured the essence of my branding and vision. Shae takes your vision and propels it the the next level, carefully considering lighting, positioning and the requirements of banner and image sizes. All that plus she’s a talented makeup artist who brings out the good bits and covers up the bad bits (Photoshop helps too!) Thank you Shae — you’re amazing!

I absolutely loved working with shae, she is extremely talented and creative and was able to capture the true essence of my team for our staff photos. We could not be happier with the results Shae achieved, she really is extremely good at what she does and has a true love of photography. Thank you Shae for being so amazing! x
