Alivya V Free Photoshoot

It's always a privilege to photograph Alivya V Free, so she was perfect for my last photoshoot of 2016. We've been working together for 10 years this year! Liv is a wonderful human being and we hadn't had chance to really hang out since the wedding (she was one of my bridesmaids) so I was super glad to get to squish her and photograph her too.

We don't tend to do much planning in the way of photoshoots, all we decided this time was that we'd shoot head shots and beauty portraits exclusively, and wing it!

It wouldn't be a shoot with Liv if we didn't involve one of her amazing headpieces. She makes the coolest accessories! I can't even begin to imagine how long it would have taken to cover this in crystals. Side note - I don't photoshop skin, Liv's skin is just this flawless.

One of the fun things about improvising with Liv is how creative she is. We used a cut up Christmas decoration for this look!

When Liv and I first started working together she was super goth, and I was a terrible walking alternative photographer cliche. Deep down inside we are both still secret goths, so we always like to shoot something spooky together. We actually used the leftover tulle from my wedding veil that Liv made me for this look!

For my personal favourite set of the shoot 'The Wild Queen' the makeup got smeared and Liv really went for it with the expressions. I love this set so much! She got the crown from Ebay, such a good bargain.

I just adore Liv, and I can't wait to work with her again. In 2017 I plan on much more of this sort of work, so get in touch!

Much love,

2016 Favourites : Christmas Day Dress

Roswell Ivory Adventures

Valentine's Day weekend the lovely Roswell Ivory came to stay with me for adventures and wedding planning! With Fal, one of my other bridesmaids, we had a mega trying on session and picked out a gorgeous dress for them to wear. So exciting! We hung out, ate pizza, watched movies. All that good kind of girly hang out type stuff. We also of course, squeezed in a quick photoshoot!

Latex by Yummy Gummy Latex. Isn't it so cool? I broke out my ringflash for the first time in well... at least 3 years. I know it's about that because it was in the garage rather than with my photography gear. Because I hadn't unpacked it from when we moved into our house. Oops.

Every model needs good headshots, and Roswell always photographs gorgeously. We started out with pretty makeup, and then we just had to go a little wild!

Poor Roswell got mascara in her eye doing this look. That's dedication to her art.

I couldn't decide how to edit these, so I went for a few different looks. It's such a strong makeup look I couldn't resist.

I just love that face!

Of course such an 'out there' makeup look called for a daft post-shoot selfie...

I love this girl so much. I'm so lucky that photography has brought her into my life. And to think the first time I met Roswell it was at my old job in Norwich, and I fangirled over her so bad because I loved her modelling. And now she is one of my bridesmaid! I can't wait to see her again in April for my hen do. Yay!

Much love,
