Bringing regional stories to bloom through photography + graphic design. Crafted with authenticity & beauty.

I’m Annabelle Spann, the creative mind behind Studio Rural. Having spent much of my life in rural and regional Queensland, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the people and communities that make these places so special. I believe that living in regional, rural, or remote areas isn’t a disadvantage - it’s an advantage.

I’m dedicated to helping regional businesses be professionally represented through creative photography and graphic design that highlights their unique identity. Alongside this, I also photograph families and portraits, capturing their tenacious spirit and the genuine connections that make rural life so wonderful.

Pt. 2 Osborne House, Bundanoon There’s something quietly commanding about this place. Every angle feels intentional, but not forced. @leantimms @osbornhouse_
Pt. 1 Some misty, moody takes from @osbornhouse_ last week. What a fabulous place! @leantimms #osbornehouse
When I sat down opposite portrait master @hughstewart_ , I couldn’t resist turning the lens back on him. Kind of surreal to think that Johnny Cash once shared this exact view.
As I drove through Tenterfield last night the streets were rainy and dark but @loganleaflorist was preparing for a whole lotta love.
Day 1 at the @leantimms workshop. So much life. So much heart. So much unapologetic creativity. I’m very grateful to be here.
Is it just me or did January slip away at a ridiculous pace?
A quiet little moment before getting back to following cows. #studioruralphotography #dopeoplestillhashtag
I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror – The wide brown land for me! - Dorothea Mackellar
One look, and you know how much they adore them. #proudparents #studioruralphotography #familyphotoshoot
Nothing big happening here. Just time to wander, and that feels like the point. #studioruralphotography #wander
