IN THE PINK !
Brrrrr it hasn’t been the warmest May so far! So, woolly pullys are definitely coming into their own with all these outside meet-ups in restaurants and gardens.
Now that lockdown rules have relaxed, I’m desperate to show off my new summer clothes, but mostly end up blue with cold instead of feeling ‘in the pink’ as I do now that ‘freedom’ is in sight!
So I’m just going for big chunky knits in bright summery shades and topping the lot with big throws….. I’m just so pleased things are moving on and embracing life!
BRIGHT SPARKS
NEON has emblazoned so many runways this Spring. In these precarious times, it’s great to get some heart sizzling colour in our lives! So, one cold Saturday morning in February, we met up at Lesley’s studio and created this. I love the movement, angles and the fantastic make-up by Keti that really completed the super bold look!

SHAPES
I love all the gorgeous geometric prints around at the moment. So,we decided to do a shoot using these fab shape prints and have our model do some amazing body shapes too! Prior to the shoot we had had some wonderful weather and gorgeous blue skies…… But of course, come the day of our shoot the heavens opened and it poured all day! But every cloud has a silver lining and the grey skies created a really strong moody look….. take a look at the pics, I think you’ll love them!

ON WHITE HORSES
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Who knows what the next couple of months will bring. But in this world of uncertainty it’s lovely to create these magical pictures. We shot them way back in the Summer in The Cotswolds and were lucky enough to have them published in Mini Maven this Christmas. The styling and inspiration came from a TV programme, ‘The White Horses’ I loved to watch as a child. Yes, I’m feeling positive – it’s difficult not to, when I work with so many gorgeous and talented people. So, bring on 2019!

ROSE COLOURED SPECTACLE
Wow! It’s September – how did that happen? It’s very difficult to say goodbye to Summer this year. It’s been amazing and the sun has just kept on giving. One of the highlights of these hot, balmy days was doing this shoot in the majestic grounds of Littlecote House in the West Country.
We were thinking pink! So, when I turned up at the spectacular gardens, my car laden with party dresses and tutus, our hairdresser, Jess already had pink hair spray in hand and fab make-up artist Kamila was poised with beautiful rose petals for face decoration. Our three little pink ladies had such fun dressing up in all the gorgeous frothy clothes. Photographer Tara worked her magic and these beautiful images were published in Luna Magazine.

VALENTINE VIBE
Well, Valentine’s Day is nearly here. So I thought I’d do a very glamorous lingerie shoot to put us all in the mood. Being February it’s far too chilly just to wear JUST your bra and knickers so I thought I’d throw in a couple of fur coats (faux of course darlings!) for good measure! Happy Valentine LOVE BIRDS !

STREET LIFE
Although my roots are in Wales with my teenage years in Bristol, I now definitely feel like a Norf London Girl. So, it was great to do an urban shoot around the streets of Kentish Town. Fab photographer, Lesley Edith had just arrived back to the capital after living in LA for 8 years so she really enjoyed searching out all these great locations. I love all the hot pink clothes around just now and we opted for backgrounds that really made each outfit really pop! Amazing model Akira really made the pics with her strong beautiful look. All in all, a great success with Nude Magazine using the images for their latest issue. Talk about tickled pink!

BIRDS OF PREY
They say never work with animals or children – well, I always enjoy a challenge! We met early one rainy morning in November at Savernake Forest near Marlborough. I had already had a 2-hour journey, it was raining and quite honestly, I wasn’t feeling massively positive whilst waiting for the arrival of 3 child models under nine, plus a whole flock of birds of prey – owls, kestrels et al.
But I must say, once we got going everyone was marvellous. The kids were all so brave holding the birds, helped enormously by the amazing Dian from the Fir Tree Falconry and our lovely calming photographer Tara. Our make-up artist, Emily did a fabulous job painting a feathered look on each of the children’s face. I used loads of beautiful plumage in the styling with spectacular feather headdresses and capes. In the end, it was a soaring success with Little Revolution Magazine using all the pictures in their Christmas issue. What a great team – such high fliers!

LAVENDER DREAM
I had always wanted to do a shoot in a lavender field. So, when lovely photographer Tory Smith emailed me to say she’d found a great one in Hitchin I jumped at the opportunity! The team met at my house early one morning. I had a rail all ready, overflowing with gorgeous lilac and purple clothes. Model, Kitti tried on the various outfits and we picked our 6 favourites. Then make-up artist Sarah Mcllwain-Bates worked her magic creating a beautiful look. We all piled into my car and we whizzed up the A1 and spent the day shooting in the heavenly scented lavender fields. It was such a productive day – Tory did so many amazing shots and videographer, Ben Ramasami directed and then edited the fabulous film below. Take a look…….

FALL FOR PASTELS
Pastels aren’t just for summer. They’re so many fabulous faded shades around this winter, like baby blue and the super popular millennial pink. I’ve always admired the sugar almond coloured houses around Kentish Town in London so this was the ideal location for our latest shoot. Take a look……
