When I was in Amsterdam this past Autumn for a decor8 blogger meet and greet (photos here), I had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented thirtysomething stylist/photographer/decorator Pia Jane Bijkerk and it was such an enjoyable conversation. Pia is so very down-to-earth and chatty, we could have talked all night and well into the next morning. I’ve included some images from her professional portfolio here in this post for you to admire.
When Clayton contacted me from Australian Edge telling me that he had the honor of interviewing her, I knew I had to post it here because I think you will really like it. Here’s the link to the interview, enjoy!
And if you want to learn more about Pia and her inspirations please check out her blog.
Thank you, Clayton!
