Holiday like a Blogger

Sometimes I wish I was a full-time Blogger.

I wish I had an Instagram feed full of exotic holiday pics, sparkling vistas, the latest designer fashions and foods that look too pretty to eat. But alas – I am just a mere mortal.

Enter Travelshoot. A Gold Coast initiative powered by the creative (sibling) duo, Sarah Pearce and Tim Jones. Travelshoot connects you with professional photographers in your holiday location of choice so that you – just like our Blogger idols – can capture picture perfect vacay pics!

“A few years back my husband and I took our first trip to New York. A friend of mine was a photographer based in the city, and we were his ‘test customers’ for a few photos along Brooklyn Bridge for his new website”, explains Pearce.

Ironically the hour provided us with 10 images that we got to keep – they featured the most spectacular New York cityscape on sunset. Instead of candid selfies or trusting other tourists to get photos of us together like we usually do when we travelled – in these 10 images we were both in the frame of these very special and iconic memories”.

And so the Travelshoot concept was born.

Too good of an opportunity to ignore, QT Gold Coast has teamed up with Travelshoot to create an exclusive stay-cay experience!

Check into a photo-ready QT Ocean View room for two nights with complimentary breakfast for two adults at the home of #foodporn, Bazaar Marketplace and we’ll book you in for a 1-hour shoot with the Travelshoot team.

Your local photographer will take you around QT Gold Coast and the surrounds, capturing your best side and then supply you with 20 high-res shots for you to become the envy of your Instagram and Facebook friends.

There are so many perfect places for a Travelshoot at QT Gold Coast including our Ocean View balconies and quirky designer guest rooms, colourful lobby, tropical outdoor pool, the chic spaQ, groovy restaurants and bars…the list goes on. Not to mention the glistening Surfers Paradise beach at our doorstep.

So, say goodbye to the selfie and hello to your personal holiday pap!
