What Really Happens on an Interior Shoot

Show notes for today's episode are here

Ever wondered what really goes on during a photo shoot? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly what a typical shoot day looks like for an interior stylist—early alarms, car Tetris, flower market mayhem and all!

I take you through my whole day—from the 4:55am coffee-fuelled start, right through to the 7:30pm collapse on the sofa. I talk about what it takes to prep, pack, and style each shot, how I keep the day on track when curveballs inevitably pop up, and why I always bring emergency snacks.

You’ll hear how I work with the photographer, client and assistants to make the magic happen, how I handle those unexpected creative requests mid-shoot, and why flexibility is one of a stylist’s biggest strengths.

It’s a fun, full-on day—and in the end, totally worth it when everything comes together and the client says, “That’s the one.”

If you’ve ever styled a shoot, you’ll recognise the madness. And if you haven’t yet—this might just prepare you for what’s to come.

enjoy!
