G'day!

Welcome to the Belle Styles Studios and BS Country Co. Collective!

I'm so excited to have you here.

My name is Belle, and I am very passionate about embracing and encapsulating life's small moments.

As a mum of two, I know how rapidly time can pass without even being noticed. As the great John Lennon once said: "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans!".

Having developed a promising and advanced ability in the visual arts from a very young age, my development in this area was catered to by my high school educators, who allowed me to withdraw from my current year level and participate in the curriculums designed for students in year levels above me. 

Whilst in high school, I was the recipient of many awards pertaining to Visual Art Exhibitions local to me at the time, including awards in the student section the Balco Art Prize and Rotary Club of Clare Art Exhibition, in addition to receiving the Visual Art Award in my senior year at high school. This also led to my Year Twelve piece being hand-selected by the SACE judges to be exhibited in the 2013 SACE Art Exhibition, comprised of the best artworks by senior students in the state. 

Following graduation, I began accepting commissions, and have since created hundreds of custom artworks that are currently hanging in people's homes.

My skills in this area allowed me to develop an eye for photography, enabling me to invoke eye-catching compositions with a storytelling approach.

Having been a hobbyist photographer for approximately ten years, in 2024, I decided to pursue my vision of providing a professional photography service. 

I have a deep love for black-and-white images and the emotive and timelessness with which they capture an individual in a candidate moment. 

The photographs I strive to achieve the most are tricky, in that they are oftentimes of moments that last a second or two. These are the raw, real, and authentic pieces of the puzzle that make up the human experience - the ones you will look back on in years to come and think: "I am so glad somebody was there to get that".

From my lifestyle of riding horses and competing in barrel racing, many of the images I take are reflective of the western and/or country way of life - one that is seemingly having a resurgence in popularity at the moment, reflected in fashion choices globally. From here, BS Country Co. was born, as I began designing apparel using my own images, with real-life individuals in real-life country settings, enjoying the lifestyle we - as horse riders and animal-lovers - are so, deeply, privileged to have.

So, here we are! All caught up! 

I hope that you resonate with Belle Styles Studios and what it embodies. 

With love, 

Belle
