Jules Sebastian, what a honey!
I can easily liken her to a sweet delicious treat and humble apple pie.
There are women in this world you meet who you feel instantly compelled to label “one of the good ones”. Jules is kindness to the core and an absolute keeper in my books.
And while it’s no secret she is married to musician extraordinaire Guy Sebastian, Jules is no shrinking violet folks. She is gracefully carving out her own career and making mighty waves in the fashion world, showing us all that you can be a killer #girlboss with a tender feminine heart.
Jules and I met in LA once upon a time, but it would be a couple of years before our paths would cross again. As the universe would have it, we kept bumping into each other at various fashion shows in Sydney, and before we knew it, a collaboration plan had been hatched and conceived!
Alas, the weather Gods were NOT in our favour. Boo hiss! Our plans to shoot amongst the dense greenery of centennial park had been foiled! But instead of waiting for the weather to finish its tantrum, we decided to reimagine the whole shoot indoors. With some quick thinking I created an elaborate story in my head about girl, waiting for her prince (dressed in fabulous couture no less!), whiling away the time and yearning to be outside. Mmmm whimsy.
Enjoy gawking at Jules in these gorgeous gowns that are sure to revive your Sex and the City memories. I only wish I could hang out in couture like Jules and Carrie all day errrday!
Love Peanut xo

Oh. My. Goodness!!! what a gorgeous improv shoot Gemma!!! Jules is such a natural beauty and you’ve captured her so genuinely. Bravo! PS i neeeeeeed that hat! <3
Thank you Annitta! I think it was serendipitous that we couldn’t shoot in the park. Jules is just gorgeous. And yes, those hats are divine. I wanted to steal them all. xx
Love the photo shoot Gemma ! Love the lighting! Did you use mostly a natural light? Or the lamps were used too? I always wanted to do a photo shoot like this with just the natural light, but I am not sure if the natural light is enough? How did you do it? Would love a little tip. Please!
Yes I used all natural light. No lamps necessary as I worked with the windows around the house. The house was quite dark so I was able to take advantage of the channels of light pouring through the windows. It creates a great contrast.
Just made sure you bump your ISO up a bit to help brighten the image.
I hope this helps!

Very helpful. Thank You Gemma 🙂
Gemma Peanut you are wonderfully talented human. Beautiful both inside and out. Thank you for having me on your blog and for the gorgeous pics! Mwah! x
Gorgeous Jules!
What a dream to get to shoot with you. You are a bodacious babe with a smile to boot!
So much love and mushy stuff xo
Beautiful shots of a very naturally beautiful women. But must admit, just a smidgen less edgy than your usual shots when I feel I am getting a secret glimpse into something personal and intimate
. But nonetheless awesome work as usual. xx
Thanks Georgie. This shoot was definitely a deviation from what I normally do. But I enjoyed the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone and shooting indoors. Would you believe 99.9% of my shoots are in the great outdoors!
Thanks for your kind words.
